before starting the measurement.
ACE Technik warns: Even if you get a result with the meaning „Safe range“, you should not drive

consumption of alcohol.
ACE Technik recommends
Always use a new mouthpiece for each person and each test which is conducted. ACE
Technik assumes no liability for any damages which arise when several people use the same
mouthpiece for multiple tests.
Don`t use the enclosed but the hygienic mouthpieces from the ACE series! During each test
the ACE Pro MED internal and external gets in contact with human secretion (saliva, blood,
sweat etc.)!
Use safety gloves when pulling out a mouthpiece which was used by another person than
yourself! You can buy appropriate gloves at ACE Technik.
