Dräger Alcotest 9510 Standard IR / EC 21
4.2.2 Providing a breath sample
The operators of the instrument must ensure that the person
being tested has not taken in any substances through the
mouth or nose during the control time (at least 10 minutes)
before the delivery of the breath sample.
With the start of the indication
PLEASE BLOW the display is
ready for a breath sample for 3 minutes. Within this time period
the person being tested has to deliver a breath sample.
1. Ask the test subject to
breathe in calmly and
expire the breath sample
continuously and evenly
into the mouthpiece until
the bottom bar on the
display is filled at least half.
During the delivery of the breath sample the progress is
indicated by the bargraph being filled.
The remaining length of the bargraph to be filled is a
measure of the volume still required before reaching the
minimum volume.
It is, however, possible to continue the delivery of the
breath sample when the bargraph is already filled
completely. This does not affect the measurement.
At the end of the breath sample
If the minimum breath flow is fallen below, STOP BLOWING is
displayed.
2. Stop the provision of the breath sample immediately.
Restarting (second breath) must always be avoided or the
measurement will be cancelled.
If the requirements for providing the breath sample are met
with regard to duration, volume and continuity, REMOVE
MOUTHPIECE is displayed.
3. Pull the mouthpiece from the handle at the end of the
breathing hose with the aid of the mouthpiece packaging
and dispose of it.
4. Place the breathing hose back into the storage tray or on
the side of the instrument.
The measuring system is purged with ambient air again
and another internal calibration takes place.
PURGING and BLANK CHECK are displayed
consecutively.
If all framework conditions
of the process were met,
the final result is displayed
in the configured unit on the
display.
Printing of the protocol is started.
4.2.3 Finishing the measuring cycle
After completing the printing
process READY is displayed.
Readiness for operation is re-
established for the next
measuring cycle.
4.2.4 Printing an additional measurement protocol

Select Print Last Test , to print a copy of the last measuring
report at a later date.
A measuring report generated at a later date includes all data
of the last measurement.
4.3 Errors during the measuring process
If errors are detected during the measuring process, these are
indicated on the display and, dependent on the kind of error,
the provision of the breath sample must be repeated or the
measuring cycle is cancelled completely.
MINIMUM VOLUME NOT ACHIEVED
The volume of the breath sample provided is too small. For
breath samples with both too small exhalation volume and too
short exhalation time, the error message concerning the
breath volume is shown.
The breath sample must be delivered again. (A total of 3
unsuccessful attempts per measuring cycle is permissible.)
TEST REPEATED
Repeating a breath sample: The measuring cycle is continued
in an identical manner if this message is displayed e. g. due to
the provision of the breath sample being too short (less than
3 seconds).
CHECK AIRWAY
The controlled flow during purging is too low. Always make
sure that the air inlet into the breathing hose is not covered
during purging.
TEST ABORTED
After a fourth unsuccessful attempt the measuring cycle is
terminated and a corresponding message for the cause of the
last unsuccessful attempt is issued with the report on the
printer.
MOUTH ALCOHOL
The presence of residual mouth alcohol was detected from the
concentration/'time profile of the breath sample. The
measuring cycle is immediately cancelled and a protocol with
the corresponding information is printed.
READINESS TO BLOW EXPIRED
If after the start of the prompt the provision of a breath sample
is not started within 3 minutes, the measuring cycle is
cancelled. A protocol with the corresponding information is
printed.
NOTICE
Measuring results below 0.03 mg/L or 0.05 ‰ are
output as 0.00 mg/L or ‰. For other measurement
units corresponding display limits are valid.
