CONDUCTING A JAIL RELEASE TEST
Conducting a Jail Release Test
A Jail Release Test is an expedited testing sequence that has been developed solely for the purpose
of conducting alcohol screening tests on people for the purpose of establishing the presence of
alcohol on the breath and not necessarily the actual breath alcohol concentration. This testing
sequence is ideal for use in the following situations:
Testing of minors for purposes of establishing Minor in Possession by Consumption
Testing of person’s for purposes of release from jail detoxification sections.
Testing of parole and probation participants with no alcohol conditions.
Testing ordered at the direction of Court personnel (i.e., judge ordered tests).
The "Ready in 00:XX” message
From the
“Ready in 00:XX”
display, the instrument will display a timer that will count down the period
of time needed for the instrument to be ready to conduct a breath test. This period of time is generally
less than 60 seconds and commonly will be closer to 30 seconds in duration. During this period, the
instrument is preparing itself to conduct a test. If the instrument has been recently used, the
instrument may not require any preparation time. If desired, the operator can abort the testing
sequence by pressing the “Start Test” button. During the
“Ready in 00:XX”
period, the instrument
display will look similar to the figure below:
Ready in 00:39
04/10/2006 PDT
When the instrument completes the countdown, the instrument will proceed to the next step of the
testing sequence.
Air Blank
The instrument will initiate the jail release testing sequence by performing an air blank. The
instrument will display the
“Air Blank”
message and turn on the instrument’s internal purge pump for
approximately 20 seconds.
