1 INTRODUCTION The Druglizer LE5 Drug Testing System is for the rapid oral fluid screening of drugs of abuse. The system incorporates a Druglizer LE5 Drug Tester Cartridge (Druglizer LE5 Cartridge), a Druglizer Oral Fluid Collector and a Druglizer LE5 Drug Tester instrument (Druglizer LE5, purchased separately).
2 TEST PRINCIPLE The Druglizer LE5 Drug Testing System is based on a competitive lateral flow immunoassay technique where drug molecules that may be present in the oral fluid sample compete with the same drug attached to the nitrocellulose wicking membrane, for limited binding sites on tagged drug specific antibodies.
CAUTION Failure to follow this warning may result in an “Invalid” test. While the Druglizer LE5 is a robust instrument, it does contain sensitive instrumentation and should not be subject to rough handling or become submerged in water. Do not store instrument in direct sunlight or places where extreme temperature conditions can occur.

The Battery Charging Port is located beneath the wrist strap bracket and facilitates connection to the battery chargers included with the instrument. The Druglizer LE5 is equipped with rechargeable Li-ION batteries. As such it should not be tampered with in anyway. Should any problems occur that are related to the battery, contact your local Alcolizer Technology representative for advice.
12 SERVICE LIFE 12.1 Calibration alerts The Druglizer LE5 requires calibration every six months to maintain optimum performance. The instrument will display ‘Service Life Pending’ warning message 30 days before calibration is required. The ‘Service Life Pending’ will be displayed each time the instrument is turned on until calibration is performed.
12.2 Replacing sample module Rather than returning the instrument to Alcolizer for service, the module can be removed and sent in. This saves money and if the owner details are known and maintained with Alcolizer Technology, arrangements can be made to forward a replacement sample module prior to the calibration being overdue.

Following the replacement of the sample module, send the out-of-calibration module back to Alcolizer. The instrument can be returned to Alcolizer Technology for calibration should the owner prefer prior to the number of days warning message period expiring. To arrange calibration, contact Alcolizer Technology.
