BreathScan® Instructions
- Wait 15 minutes after the last alcoholic drink (alcohol takes about 15 minutes to commence absorption into your system) OR drink a glass of water before taking the test.
- Squeeze middle of the outer plastic tube between thumb and forefinger to break inner glass ampoule containing yellow crystals. SQUEEZE ONLY ONCE. DO NOT CRUSH OR BEND TUBE. Use tester immediately.
- Take a deep breath and blow, in one continuous breath, for 12 seconds through the end of the tube designated by an arrow. BLOW VERY HARD. EXHALE THROUGH TUBE, DO NOT INHALE. Shake tester to distribute crystals evenly, wait two minutes. Identify any color change amongst a majority of the crystals.
- Crystals in the .02% tester will become white or ash at an alcohol level of .02% or greater. The .04, .08, and .10% testers will develop a greenish cast at an intermediate level of alcohol; a bluish cast indicates levels at or above the designated level for the tester. For best results compare to unused tester.
The BreathScan® Alcohol Detector is available in several configurations. Check each Breathscan® tester for its precise configuration, which is indicated by a specific percentage (e.g., .02%, .04% etc.) On the left side of the tester always check the legal limit for intoxication in your state.
Note: Accuracy of test results may not be reliable if test is not conducted according to instructions.
