2      For the conduct of a confirmatory test on a further body sample of the person using the Drager Alcotest 9510 Aus (in this item, the device)   Taking body samples:
                                                                                                                                                     The approved tester must take a further breath sample for a confirmatory alcohol test as soon as practicable, but not sooner than 15 minutes from the time that the initial alcohol test sample was taken.
                                                                                                                                                     If the approved tester has reason to believe that the donor may have consumed something containing alcohol since giving the initial sample, the tester must wait until at least 10 minutes have elapsed since the tester formed that view. The approved tester must then proceed to take a further breath test.
                                                                                                                                                     When taking the breath sample, the approved tester must ensure that the following procedure is followed:
