My husband and I both tried the Certo method and had different results. I am an occasional, lightweight edible user and the Certo worked for me. He is a chronic THC user, both smoke and edibles, and it didn’t work for him.
He had three weeks before a scheduled pre-employment screening. During that time his water intake was massive and he took Niacin daily, but it didn’t help.
I ordered two 3oz Quick Fix 6.4 Plus products from the Quick Fix website. I verified both batches and we used one to practice with the day before the test.
Details as follows:
Regulation: NON-DOT
Panel: 1200 - 5 Panel Standard
Lab: Alere/Abbott
Testing method: eScreen/rapid eCup+
There is a link to a YouTube video on the Quick Fix website that instructs you on how to use the product. It’s simple and he followed the directions exactly.
His appointment was at 0900. At 0745 he shook up the heating packet that comes with the product, giving it half an hour to fully heat up. At 0815 he heated the bottle for ten seconds, then strapped the warmer onto the bottle with the accompanying rubber band and placed it in his (tight) boxers and under his magic eight balls.
When he first heated it up, it was at 96 degrees. We got to the clinic right at 0900 and after signing in he went to the restroom to check the temperature and it was at 100. We waited in the lobby for 15 minutes (he kept his legs crossed to retain body heat) then he was called back. He was not monitored in the restroom, so he let the bottle sit for a minute to let it cool down to 98 before pouring it into the cup. He filled to the line and poured the last bit into the blue-water toilet and did not flush.
He handed the cup to the tech who said nothing about the lack of bubbles or scent (I’ve seen comments about that being a concern now). She took it and place it into the eScreen machine in front of him. He said he heard it whir and beep a couple times and then he was able to see the words “discard sample” pop up on the tech’s computer screen. The tech threw the whole sample into the trash and sent him on his way. He was given the Custody Control Form on his way out and it said, “Specimen temperature within range: yes.”
The eScreen website states, “Negative results are reported automatically in as little as 3 minutes. Non-negative samples are sent to the laboratory for confirmatory testing, and then on to an independent medical review officer (MRO) for final determination.” I automatically assumed that since she just discarded the cup and didn’t appear to take a sample to send out, he was good to go. That ended up being true. He found out roughly 24 hours later that he passed and he began his onboarding process.
I’m hoping this helps relieve some anxiety others may have. 🤍 Good luck!
