Comparison Guide: SpotCheck vs. Traditional Alcohol Testing in Transplant Settings

ree

In transplant programs, alcohol monitoring can be life or death. Even small lapses can affect eligibility or graft survival — so accuracy and trust matter. 


Traditional tests (urine, hair, saliva) each fall short: 

  • Urine: Detects only 1–3 days, easily diluted. 

  • Saliva: Very short window, influenced by rinses or timing. 


The SpotCheck Advantage 


SpotCheck Plus uses a dried blood spot to detect: 

  • PEth, the gold-standard alcohol biomarker (up to 30 days of data) 

  • 60+ analytes for medications and substances of abuse 

  • Results in 24–36 hours, tamper-proof and easy to collect 


Why It Works for Transplant Teams

 

  • Confirms true abstinence 

  • Detects early relapse before damage occurs 

  • Patient-friendly, fast, and fully observable 

  • Provides defensible evidence for regulatory and ethical compliance 


SpotCheck helps programs protect organs, patients, and their reputation — with clear, accurate, and compassionate monitoring. Call 800-800-6060 to learn more or request a free kit.
