new mouthpiece must be attached to the breath hose

                                                                                                                                                         * the donor must be asked to remove the protective cellophane packaging from the mouthpiece

                                                                                                                                                         * the donor must be instructed to place the end of the mouthpiece into the donor's mouth and to seal their lips around it when blowing

                                                                                                                                                       Note After a period of 2 minutes of a beeping alert tone to provide breath, if a breath sample is not obtained, the device displays "READINESS TO BLOW EXPIRED" and the device will re-set to "PLEASE BLOW". The device will re-set 3 times before the test will be discontinued. Each unsuccessful attempt is recorded on the certificate with "TEST DISCONTINUED" printed at the bottom of the certificate.

                                                                                                                                                         * the donor must be asked to inhale calmly and then blow evenly and continuously through the mouthpiece for as long as possible

                                                                                                                                                         * when a sufficient volume of breath sample is achieved, the frame around the bottom bar graph becomes bold to indicate that the sample has been collected; the procedure under A. below must then be followed

                                                                                                                                                         * if the breath flow falls below the minimum flow at any time during the breath sample delivery, the display will indicate "STOP BLOWING" and the delivery of the breath sample must be stopped immediately so as to avoid the donor attempting to re-blow; the procedure under B. below must then be followed.

                                                                                                                                                          1.     Sufficient volume of breath given:

                                                                                                                                                         * the mouthpiece must be removed when the device indicates to do so

                                                                                                                                                         * the device will conduct more internal diagnostic checks, complete the sample analysis and display, under a heading "Subject's Result", the result of the test on the device screen

                                                                                                                                                         * 2 copies of the result will be printed by the device

                                                                                                                                                         * if the device detects alcohol in the mouth of the donor, the device will display "ALCOHOL IN MOUTH". The approved tester must wait a further 10 minutes and then repeat the process above to take a breath sample. The approved tester may warn the donor not to further consume alcohol and may refer to offences for failing to provide a body sample or interfering with a sample.

                                                                                                                                                         * the approved tester must allow at least 3 attempts to provide a testable body sample but may discontinue the test if the donor fails to provide an adequate sample after 3 attempts. If the test is discontinued without a valid result, the donor must be advised they can no longer perform SSAA until notified to the contrary by CASA.

                                                                                                                                                       Note CASA will consider and advise the donor of the legal implications of the failure to provide a sample.

                                                                                                                                                       B. Sufficient volume of breath not given:

                                                                                                                                                         * the donor must be informed that
