READ THE RESULTS
The displayed result is an estimate of the test subject’s BAC. A breath
alcohol tester cannot determine the exact BAC in the blood of the test
subject. Correlation between BrAC and BAC depends on many factors,
such as temperature and health conditions. Therefore, only use this
device as a tool to screen for the presence of alcohol.
Many people consider a 0.02% or greater a positive test for alcohol in
“zero tolerance” screening. Most states have 0.08% as the legal BAC
limit for tasks such as operating a motor vehicle. Some states prohibit
driving commercial vehicles or any vessel with a 0.04% BAC or higher.
Many states prosecute individuals for driving under the influence at any
level.
