Heading: Instrument Test Percentage Results

Text: Simulated breath tests will be conducted with a random sample from the control lot number of each ampoule batch in use at the department. Simulated breath tests will be conducted with reference and test ampoules of the same batch number. A minimum of two test ampoules will be used and tested per inspection. To provide an additional check of the instrument linearity, three simulated breath tests will be conducted on each test ampoule. To insure proper temperature of the simulator solution vapor sample (34 degrees Celsius, plus or minus 0.2 degrees Celsius), atomizers will not be used. At each location, prior to performing the first simulated breath test, breath will be exhaled in a continuous, moderate flow through the simulator for approximately five seconds to eliminate head space air. Then the instrument breath tube will be attached to the simulator. The blood alcohol pointer will be placed at 0.00 before introducing the simulator solution vapor sample into the instrument. Prior to all simulated breath tests, the instrument will be purged. A simulator solution vapor sample will be introduced into the instrument by exhaling breath in a continuous, moderate flow for approximately ten seconds. After delivering the vapor sample, the instrument breath tube will be removed from the simulator and the simulator breath tube will be attached to the simulator outlet port. Simulated breath tests will be recorded as acceptable, if all the test results are within a 0.010 of each other and fall within the range of 0.090 and 0.105 (acceptance tolerance). Instrument test percentage results will be recorded as []See Below. If the results of all the tests are within the acceptance tolerance, then record, e.g., 6 Tests Within Acceptable Tolerance, on the last line of the Radio Transmission Testing section of the certificate.
