4 This device is not to be used to determine if the subject is legal or able to operate any equipment or vehicle.
Sensor Recognition Technology™ monitors for certain types of abnormal sensor conditions.
AirCheck Technology™ ensures that the test subject continues to blow through the mouthpiece over the 4-5 second exhale. This is a vital new function because only samples of air from the deep lung are proportionate to blood alcohol content. This is an important feature for professional screening to prevent an intentional short exhale which could affect accuracy.
Advanced PressureCheck Technology™ ensures that the user blows with enough force to start a test and also ensures that they continue to blow through the unit throughout the entire test.
TempCheck Technology™ displays the temperature at the time of testing and will display "hot" or "cool" to warn if the temperature is outside of the optimal testing range. This ensures enhanced accuracy when testing.
