1. Check Calibration Tag
In order to make a demand for the screening device, the investigator should have knowledge of the
calibration status of the device. As a result, Alco-Sensor FST® operators should check the calibration tag
on the device before any intended use. If the current date is beyond the Calibration Expiry Date, you
must not use the screening device. Annual Maintenance Inspection information is also found on the tag
and this inspection is the responsibility of authorized service personnel only. Each operator must confirm
the next annual inspection date of the Alco-Sensor FST® prior to use. An ASD must not be used after
the service expiry date (next annual inspection date) that is indicated on the tag.
