Medical professionals who have made abstinence agreements as a result of a DUI diversion or condition of their employment can be facing serious consequences if their random test for alcohol — the ETG test — has shown up as positive. Their license can be suspended or permanently revoked. They can lose their job. They may be facing steep fines and even jail time.

Portland ETG Testing Lawyer: ETG Testing and Licensure Issues
We have a special understanding of the issues involved in ETG testing and licensure issues. The ETG test was designed to detect consumption of alcohol up to 80 hours after it was used. In this law firm's opinion, the test is far too sensitive to be used as an accurate measure of alcohol consumption by itself until such time as standards are created for when the test is detecting actual alcohol use and when it is detecting “incidental exposure.”
The UA tests were a more accurate reflection of a person's current metabolic state, and could detect alcohol that had been consumed within the last twelve hours. The ETG test is so sensitive that it can detect Purell hand sanitizer, some vinegars and some mouthwashes as alcohol. Get counsel you can trust and who knows the law to protect your rights.
