Operating without a balloon, this breathalyzer simplifies use compared to traditional chemical breathalyzers. It integrates seamlessly into road safety prevention initiatives, alongside self-tests for cannabis and other drugs, and is notably included in the Road Safety Kit offered by Medisur to businesses.
What is the 6-class multidrug test?
This format allows for the detection of several classes of substances, beyond just cannabis, in a single test. It is available in saliva or urine versions, with high or low thresholds depending on the desired sensitivity, and also in a version that includes an alcohol component. It is particularly useful in workplace drug testing campaigns, where the goal is to obtain a comprehensive overview rather than targeting a single substance.
Are Medisur self-tests reliable?
Reliability was assessed by comparing the results of the self-test to a reference method, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), on a panel of 90 samples. This level of performance remains contingent upon strict adherence to the instructions: insufficient saliva or reading too late can skew the result, generally leading to a false negative.
How long does the test remain positive after cannabis use?
For occasional users, meaning those who use less than twice a week, the test generally remains positive for up to about twelve hours after the last dose. For more regular users, this window can be significantly longer. It is therefore recommended to wait at least twelve hours after use before considering driving.
What is the detection threshold of the Medisur cannabis self-test?
This threshold corresponds to that used for the screening tests stipulated in Articles R. 235-3 and R. 235-4 of the French Highway Code, which are used during roadside checks. This is not by chance: it allows the self-test to serve as a realistic benchmark before driving, as a negative result at this threshold corresponds, in most cases, to what a police check would detect.
How does the Medisur cannabis saliva self-test work?
The test uses antibodies against Δ9-THC, the main psychoactive component of cannabis. The user collects a saliva sample using a collector equipped with a saturation indicator, which changes color when a sufficient volume has been collected. If the THC concentration reaches the test threshold, a positive result is displayed, to be read between 10 and 20 minutes after the procedure, according to the instructions.
What self-tests does Medisur offer?
The "Psychotropic Drugs" range includes a cannabis saliva self-test, multi-drug saliva self-tests across six classes (with or without alcohol, high or low threshold), multi-drug and cannabis urine tests, a 2-in-1 breathalyzer without a balloon, and a nicotine saliva test. A "Prevention" range complements the offering with a breast self-examination device designed to raise awareness about breast cancer screening. Each test is sold individually, with detailed instructions.
How many companies trust Medisur?
This history of support encompasses a variety of formats: one-off training sessions, awareness workshops, screening campaigns, health kits distributed to all employees, and multi-year prevention plans developed with HR and HSE teams. This accumulated experience allows Medisur to adapt its programs to very different contexts, from international groups to smaller organizations.
Does Medisur enjoy particular recognition in the healthcare sector?
Beyond its regulatory certifications, Medisur has been supported by the Bpifrance accelerator throughout its growth and holds the French Care label, which distinguishes French players in healthcare innovation. These accolades reinforce, in the eyes of client companies, the industrial credibility of a company that provides long-term support rather than simply a one-off service provider.
What is Lab' Medisur?
Lab' Medisur develops in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs) covering addiction prevention, fertility, and Covid-19, distributed to pharmacies, analysis laboratories, and hospitals. This comprehensive industrial control, from design to distribution, explains why Medisur self-tests are based on clinically validated thresholds and protocols rather than mere marketing claims.
