Before You Test

This Is Not a Self Test.You Should Never Test Yourself.

Alcohol impairs judgement. Have someone who has not

been drinking help you conduct the test and read the results.

Please see other side of this pamphlet for important information.

™

If the test subject cannot wait, have 

subject rinse his/her mouth with water 

before taking the test. This removes 

alcohol vapors in the mouth that could 

cause a false positive result.

Wait 15 Minutes After Last

Alcoholic Drink.

STEP 1

Subject should hold Detector vertically so 

arrows on “BLOW” end are pointing down. 

Subject should then BLOW/EXHALE very 

hard into tube, in one continuous breath, for 

12 seconds. Shake the Detector side-to-side 

to distribute the crystals evenly in Detector 

window. Lay Detector on flat surface and 

WAIT 2 MINUTES.

Hold Vertically So Arrows 

Are Pointing Down and 

Blow for 12 Seconds.

STEP 3

BLOW

Read The Results

•  The color change may be difficult to see under certain 

lighting. For best results, read under lighting such as 

incandescent, fluorescent, or indirect sunlight. A flashlight 

with an incandescent bulb can be used to help read the 

result. Hold the flashlight to the side so that the light does 

not fall directly on the Detector.

•  Compare results to an unused Detector or to the Yellow 

box. If most of the crystals are not GREEN or BLUE (under 

the suggested lighting), then the result is negative.

•  Detector results may not be reliable if testing is not 

conducted according to these instructions.

Positive Results:

 Most of crystals are 

a light AQUA (GREEN/BLUE, BLUE/GREEN) 

cast. This shows that the breath alcohol is 

at or above the level printed on the Detector.

Negative Results:

 Most of the 

crystals, are light YELLOW. This shows 

that the breath alcohol is below the level 

printed on the Detector.

The YELLOW does not have to match the 

unused Detector. It may be much lighter or 

paler YELLOW than an unused Detector.

STEP 4
