Description of Event or Problem · 0
AFTER ROUTINE MONITORING AT (B)(6), I WAS TOLD I TESTED POSITIVE FOR FENTANYL USING A POINT-OF-CARE TEST KIT. I HAVE NEVER USED FENTANYL, AND SUBSEQUENT INDEPENDENT HAIR AND URINE TOXICOLOGY ON (B)(6) 2025 WERE BOTH NEGATIVE. THE CLINIC REFUSED TO RELEASE CONFIRMATION OR CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY DOCUMENTATION. BECAUSE OF THIS FALSE RESULT, MY MEDICAL RECORD LISTS AN INACCURATE DIAGNOSIS OF OPIOID USE DISORDER, CAUSING EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND LEGAL REPERCUSSIONS. I BELIEVE THIS MAY INDICATE AN INACCURATE OR MISHANDLED TEST DEVICE OR RESULT DOCUMENTATION. ON (B)(6) 2025, A POINT-OF-CARE URINALYSIS DRUG SCREEN PERFORMED AT (B)(6) REPORTED A PRESUMPTIVE POSITIVE FOR FENTANYL. I DENIED ANY FENTANYL USE AND REQUESTED CONFIRMATORY LABORATORY TESTING (GC/MS OR LC/MS), BUT NONE WAS PERFORMED OR PROVIDED. THE CLINIC REFUSED TO RELEASE CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY DOCUMENTATION FOR THE SAMPLE. LATER, ON (B)(6) 2025, INDEPENDENT URINE AND HAIR TOXICOLOGY TESTING WERE BOTH NEGATIVE FOR FENTANYL. THE UNCONFIRMED POSITIVE RESULT FROM (B)(6) 2025 WAS USED TO LABEL ME AS HAVING OPIOID USE DISORDER. I AM REPORTING THIS TO NOTE A POTENTIAL ACCURACY OR HANDLING PROBLEM WITH THE FENTANYL TEST USED.
