  • Page 3: Introduction

    The BACTRACK provides a digital result, indicating the approximate BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) of the test subject. The BACTRACK is powered by two AAA batteries and is very easy to use. Simply turn on the unit and begin testing in a matter of seconds.
  • Page 4 The alcohol concentration in the breath is related to that in the blood, and because of this, an individual’s BAC can be deter- mined by measuring alcohol in the breath. The ratio of breath alcohol to blood alcohol is generally estimated to be 2,100:1. Therefore, 2,100 milliliters (ml) of alveolar air will contain ap- proximately the same amount of alcohol as 1 ml of blood.

  • Page 12: Precautions

    Not observing this waiting period can cause inaccurate readings and damage the sensor. 2. Do not blow smoke, food, or liquids into the BACTRACK as this will damage the sensor. 3. Do not test in areas with strong winds, smoke, or in an area where a large amount of alcohol is being consumed.

  • Page 13: Verification And Calibration

    VERIFICATION AND CALIBRATION The BACTRACK is calibrated during manufacture using ad- vanced alcohol simulation equipment. Known alcohol concentra- tions are passed through the sensor to set baseline values for testing. During testing, the unit compares users’ breath samples to these baseline values.
