What is the maximum allowed alcohol level deviation in the dry gas standard attached to the I9000?

The maximum allowed alcohol level deviation in the dry gas standard attached to the Intoxilyzer 9000 is +/- 0.005 of 0.08, which corresponds to a very precise calibration standard. This level of deviation ensures high accuracy and reliability in breath alcohol testing, as it reflects a strict tolerance level for the dry gas used in the calibration process. The precision is necessary for maintaining the integrity of alcohol testing, especially in legal contexts where accuracy can significantly impact the outcomes of DUI cases.

The importance of such a small deviation is rooted in the legal and medical implications of breath alcohol content measurements, where even slight variances can lead to differing interpretations of results. In contrast, larger deviations would compromise the accuracy and reliability of the Intoxilyzer's readings. This careful calibration process underlines the complexities and rigorous standards involved in using the Intoxilyzer 9000 for alcohol testing.
