Purge Fail
This exception occurs when the instrument was unable to purge the sample cell after running a
breath test. This may be due to the purge pump not operating or the breath path being obstructed.
The instrument will display
“Purge Fail”
and print
“*Invalid Test – Purge Fail”
. The test is not
complete and can be restarted.
In addition, the following suggested corrective action is provided: 1) The operator should consider
removing the mouthpiece from the breath tube and checking for any obvious obstructions. 2) Use
a new mouthpiece and restart the test. 3) If the instrument gives an additional exception message,
consider placing the instrument out of service by placing an “Intoxilyzer Out Of Service” form on
the instrument and reporting the problem to the OSP Regional Dispatch Center at 1-800-292-
6517. 4) Leave the instrument power on and consider locating an alternative testing location. 5)
Any observations made by the Operator during the testing sequence may be recorded in the
comments section.
Subject Test Refused
This exception occurs when the operator terminates the testing sequence because the subject
refused to continue. The instrument will display
“Subject Test Refused”
and print
“*Subject Test
Refused”
. The test is complete and should not be restarted unless terminated in error by the
operator. If the test was terminated in error, the test may be restarted by the operator.
In addition, the following suggestion is provided: Any observations made by the Operator during
the testing sequence may be recorded in the comments section.
Note
A Test Report indicating “*Subject Test Refused” is not required to document a refusal.
No Sample Given
This exception occurs when the subject did not blow hard enough into the instrument to activate
the audible tone during the breath sampling period. The instrument will display
“No Sample
Given”
and print
“*Invalid Test – No Sample Given”
. The test is not complete and can be
restarted.
In addition, the following suggested corrective action is provided: 1) The operator should consider
re-instructing the subject on how to provide a proper breath sample. 2) If the operator is continuing
the testing process, restart the test. 3) Continue the test until the subject properly submits to or
refuses the test. 4) Any observations made by the Operator during the testing sequence may be
recorded in the comments section.
