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. The instrument will
display the “Refusal (Y/N)?” message. The operator may select the “Y” key on the instrument
keyboard to document a refused test, or select the “N” key on the instrument keyboard to document
an
“*Invalid”
and
“*Deficient Sample”
on the Test Report.
A test for interfering substances is made during the breath sampling period. If an interfering substance
is detected which would affect the breath test reading, the message
“Interferent Detected”
will be
displayed and an error message of
“*Invalid”
and
“*Interferent Detected”
will be printed on the Test
Report.
The instrument allows at least three (3) minutes for a test subject to submit an acceptable breath
sample (a continuous end-expiratory breath sample resulting in the instrument displaying a “period” at
the end of the
“Please Blow”
message). The instrument will terminate the breath sampling phase
before the end of the three minute period if any of the following conditions are met:
1. The subject submits an acceptable sample.
2. The subject refuses the test and the operator pushes the “Start Test” button or the “R” key on
the instrument keyboard to indicate to the instrument the operator’s request that the instrument
document the refusal. The instrument will emit an alternating audible warning tone and display
the message
“Subject Test Refused”
.
3. An exception to the testing sequence was detected by the instrument such as
“*Interferent
Detected”
or
“*Residual Alcohol Present”
.
4. The operator aborts the testing sequence by selecting the “A” key on the instrument keyboard.
If the three-minute breath request period lapses without the subject having provided an adequate
breath sample, the instrument will indicate one of two messages:
1.
“*No Sample Given”
– The person did not blow with sufficient force to activate the audible
tone during the three minute request period. The instrument will display the
“No Sample
Given”
message accompanied by a low/high alternating tone sounding intermittently for
approximately five seconds.
If the operator allows the three minute request period to time out, and no sample was given,
the operator should not treat this as a refusal. Instead, the test should be restarted to allow
the subject additional time to either submit to the test or refuse to take the test.
