Alco-Screen II Alcohol Test
Procedure
Abstain from placing
anything in the subject’s mouth for fifteen (15) minutes prior to beginning
the test. This includes non-alcoholic drinks, tobacco products, coffee,
breath mints, food, etc.
Open the foil package and remove
the test strip. The preservative packet is not needed to perform the test
and should be discarded. Observe the reactive pad on the end of the test
strip. The pad should be a light cream color. A test strip with a reagent
pad which has a colored line or is otherwise discolored must be discarded.
Saturate
the reactive pad with saliva from a sputum cup or by applying saliva directly
to the pad. Immediately start timer. After ten seconds, shake off excess
saliva.
At
four (4) minutes, observe the results
on the reactive pad. Reading the results may be made easier by placing the
test on a white background. The development of a distinct colored line across
the reactive pad indicates the presence of alcohol greater than 0.02% (0,2‰)
BAC. Results obtained after more than five (5) minutes may be erroneous.
Positive Result: Blood alcohol above 0.02%
Negative: Blood alcohol less than 0.02%.
"Legal
limit varies according to testing location".
