You could consider the Euromed Sure Step
Acetaminophen(Paracetamol/salicylate) Screen product. Tel 020 7706 7132.
It enables you to screen out the negatives effectively - published data
from St Mary's A&E department in West London.
I has been designed to give positive results at appropriate
concentrations of both drugs and I can confirm that it works well in
careful hands.
I set it in the MRCPath part 1 practical about 2 years ago. Stress must
have played a large part in the problems experienced by the candidates.
Not unlike those within an A&E department ?
We have chosen not to use it at Lewisham.
In my opinion it has a design defect in that a "positive" results are
indicated by a negative signal - in direct contrast to another very
similar test we do in A&E for urine HCG. There were a few errors in the
information sheets provided at the time.
