Attach a new cup
The cup must be fitted so that it is held securely onto the top of the
instrument. It is advisable to replace them on a regular basis, or when
they appear to be contaminated. The cup allows for rapid screening of
subjects to determine if alcohol is present. It is advisable to carry out a
mouthpiece test if a quantifiable alcohol level is needed.
The cup test can be affected by environmental conditions such as the
presence of alcohol in the ambient air, or high winds.
This test is an indicative test and will only give a pass or fail result, it
should only be used to determine if there is alcohol present in the exhaled
breath from a subject. For more accurate testing it is recommended that a
mouthpiece test is carried out.
