4.2.2

Providing the breath sample

The instrument users must ensure that the person being tested
has not ingested any substances through the mouth or nose
during the control time (at least 10 minutes) before the delivery
of the breath sample.
When the display shows PLEASE BLOW, the instrument is
ready for a breath sample for 3 minutes. Within this time period
the person being tested has to deliver a breath sample.
1. Ask the test subject to
breathe in calmly
expire the breath sample
continuously and evenly
into the mouthpiece until
the bottom bar on the
display is filled at least half.
During the delivery of the
breath sample the progress is indicated by the bar graph
being filled.
The length of the bar to be filled is a reference point for the
volume to be supplied until the minimum volume is
reached.
It is, however, possible to continue the delivery of the
breath sample when the bar graph is already filled
completely. This does not impair the measurement.
At the end of the breath sample
If the minimum breath flow is not met, STOP BLOWING is
displayed.
2. End the process of providing the breath sample
immediately.
Restarting (second breath) must always be avoided or the
measurement will be cancelled.
If the requirements for providing the breath sample are met
with regard to duration, volume and continuity, REMOVE
MOUTHPIECE is displayed.
3. Pull the mouthpiece from the handle at the end of the
breath hose with the aid of the mouthpiece packaging and
dispose of it.
4. Place the breath hose back into the storage tray or on the
side of the instrument.
The measuring system is purged with ambient air again
and another internal calibration takes place.
PURGING and BLANK CHECK are displayed in
succession.
If all framework conditions
of the process were met,
the final result is displayed
in the configured unit on the
display.
