Breath Sampling Period
Next, the instrument will again enter a breath sampling period. The instrument will briefly display a
progress bar as a series of rectangular characters (i.e., “
”) and then begin scrolling the message
and scroll the message
“Please blow into mouthpiece to activate tone.”
across the instrument
display. At this time the operator again takes command of the instrument. The operator should instruct
the subject to provide an acceptable breath sample using the same instructions given to the subject
previously. The instrument display will look similar to the figure below:
piece to activate tone.
Please blow into mouth
As the subject provides a sample, the operator is assured that a proper sample is being provided
when a continuous audible tone is heard and the instrument displays the
“Please Blow”
message.
As the subject continues to blow, several indicator marks will appear across the display. When a
“period” is displayed following the
“Please blow”
message, making the message read
“Please
Blow.”
, the instrument has obtained an adequate sample and the operator may instruct the subject to
stop blowing.
Please Blow
zzzzzzz
Please Blow

Please Blow.

If the subject does not provide an adequate breath sample (i.e., the “period” is not displayed), the
instrument will notify the operator by flashing the
“Please Blow”
message and emitting an audible
tone. The operator should re-instruct the subject on how to provide a proper sample and have him/her
blow again. If the subject, through a willful act, still does not provide a proper sample, the operator
should consider it to be a refusal. If, however, the operator believes that the subject is physically
unable to provide an acceptable sample, but the subject evacuated his/her lungs and the sample was
the best the subject could give, the operator may allow the instrument to time out which would result
in an
“*Invalid Test - Deficient Sample”
being printed on the Test Report.
