Question 1

What is ToxIQ?

Accepted Answer

ToxIQ is an AI-powered clinical toxicology decision-support assistant. It explains detection windows, cutoff concentrations, metabolite ratios, and specimen validity, and is designed to apply current HHS federal-workplace and DOT 49 CFR Part 40 sources when they govern the question.

Question 2

Who uses ToxIQ?

Accepted Answer

ToxIQ is built for Medical Review Officers (MROs), healthcare providers, substance use counselors, employers, drug court personnel, and attorneys — anyone who needs fast, evidence-based background on drug and toxicology test results. For each of them it is a reference and preparation tool, not a substitute for the MRO, clinician, or retained expert whose judgment the decision actually rests on.

Question 3

How does ToxIQ interpret a drug test result?

Accepted Answer

You can ask an in-scope toxicology question in plain language or upload a supported lab result as a PDF, CSV, or image. ToxIQ returns decision support covering detection windows, screening and confirmation cutoffs, metabolite ratios, possible interferences, specimen-validity findings, and issues that require qualified professional review.

Question 4

Is ToxIQ grounded in SAMHSA and DOT guidelines?

Accepted Answer

ToxIQ is designed to apply current HHS federal-workplace guidance and the DOT 49 CFR Part 40 framework when relevant, and to distinguish those regulated programs from clinical laboratories that use their own methods and cutoffs. Users should verify the current governing source and reporting laboratory before acting on a result.

Question 5

Can ToxIQ tell the difference between drug use and passive exposure?

Accepted Answer

ToxIQ helps professionals distinguish likely use from incidental exposure by explaining cutoff concentrations, metabolite ratios, and detection-window context. Final determinations on regulated specimens must still be made by a qualified Medical Review Officer.

Question 6

Which specimen types and drug classes does ToxIQ cover?

Accepted Answer

ToxIQ covers six specimen types — urine, oral fluid, hair, blood, sweat, and nails — across common toxicology categories including amphetamines, opioids, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine metabolites, and more.

Question 7

Does ToxIQ replace a Medical Review Officer?

Accepted Answer

No. ToxIQ is clinical decision support designed to augment professional judgment, not replace it. It does not constitute medical advice, an MRO determination, legal advice, or expert testimony. Every regulated specimen result must be adjudicated by a qualified Medical Review Officer who meets the requirements of 49 CFR § 40.121. ToxIQ also does not decide whether MRO review is required in a given case — that is set by the governing program and by federal, state, and local requirements that vary by jurisdiction, so confirm it with your program administrator or legal counsel.

Question 8

Can an attorney use a ToxIQ analysis as expert testimony?

Accepted Answer

No. ToxIQ is a research and case-preparation tool. An AI system cannot be qualified as an expert witness, and a ToxIQ analysis is not sworn testimony, an affidavit, or admissible expert opinion. An attorney who intends to rely on the interpretation of a drug test in a proceeding must retain a qualified toxicologist or physician to review the result independently and to testify to it.

Question 9

Does ToxIQ help run randomized drug testing programs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ToxIQ includes a Randomizer built for drug courts, treatment centers, and probation caseloads. It performs fair, documented random selection of patients on a weekly or monthly schedule, tracks who checked in, sends automated SMS check-in reminders, and exports audit-ready compliance reports for case managers, probation officers, and the court.

Question 10

Is ToxIQ HIPAA compliant?

Accepted Answer

ToxIQ is built for clinical environments with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and audit logging. A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available for covered entities before any protected health information is uploaded.
