Abstract:
1. An interlock system for a vehicle, the interlock system comprising: a sampling device, which receives a sufficient body fluid sample from a person to be tested; a read-out unit coupled to the sampling device for detecting substances that are contained in the body fluid sample; a first analyzing unit coupled to the read-out unit for analyzing the substances detected by the read-out unit to obtain respective concentrations of the detected substances, wherein the detection and analysis of the substances in the body fluid is carried out by means of chemical, immunochemical, enzymatic, electrochemical or optical detection method; a second analyzing unit; a measuring arrangement for an automatic measurement of measured data, which are an indicator of a quantity of body fluid received by the sampling device, wherein the measuring arrangement transmits the measured data to the second analyzing unit, and wherein the second analyzing unit determines, on the basis of the measured data, whether the quantity of body fluid received by the sampling device exceeds a predetermined limit value; and a control device coupled to the first analyzing unit and the second analyzing unit and which prevents a vehicle start process if the quantity of body fluid received does not exceed the limit value or if at least one of the substance concentrations is above or below a predetermined concentration limit value.
