Step 6) For more testing, wait one (1) minute and repeat steps 1 – 5. READ THE RESULTS The result is an estimate of the subject’s BAC. A breath alcohol tester cannot determine the exact BAC in the blood of the subject. Correlation between BrAC and BAC depends on many factors, such as temperature and health conditions. -
