Introduction The BACTRACK® Select S50 Breathalyzer is an alcohol screening device, used for the detection of alcohol in the breath. The BACTRACK provides a digital result, displaying an estimate of the subject’s BAC (Blood Alcohol Content). Before you begin testing, it is very important to read the entire owner’s manual. It is also very important to have the instrument calibrated periodically as recommended on page 12. Failure to do so may result in readings that are inaccurate.

How does alcohol affect my driving? We can’t emphasize enough how dangerous it is for you to drink and drive. Your vision and your brain are the most important factors in driving safely. If you jeopardize either by drinking, and then you drive, you are likely to be involved in a serious or fatal collision. There is no safe way to drive under the influence of alcohol. Even one drink can make you unsafe. From California Department of Motor Vehicles (http://www.dmv.ca.

Precautions 1. Wait at least 20 minutes after drinking, eating or smoking before testing. Not observing this waiting period can cause inaccurate readings, damage the sensor, and void your warranty. 2. Do not blow smoke, food, or liquids into the BACTRACK as this will damage the sensor. 3.

Verification and Calibration The BACTRACK Select S50 Breathalyzer is calibrated during manufacture using advanced alcohol simulation equipment. Known alcohol concentrations are passed through the sensor to set baseline values for testing. During testing, the unit compares users’ breath samples to these baseline values. The accuracy of breath alcohol testers can fluctuate after six to twelve months of normal use, depending on the number of tests performed and operating conditions.
