Don't know a thing, just wondering, if maybe these tests are used by company quaks (Industrial Medicine) that you get sent to if you have an incident on the job ?
Results of those don't go to court but can get you fired.

I retired from the Phoenix PD crime lab (Toxicology and Firearms sections) in 2017. If I didn't have a valid confirmation test that backed up the findings of a positive screening test then I wrote a negative (nothing present) report. While I didn't work in the Controlled Substances section, every section in the crime lab had the same basic protocol. To have a positive result/finding you have to have a valid confirmation test (typically a more sensitive method) that backs up the positive screening test. I authored multiple negative toxicology drug confirmation analysis reports that had a positive drug screen. I'm not saying those tests can't be faulty or dismissing the impact that you could be arrested because of the faulty drug screening test. Just conveying my experience working in a closely related forensic field.
