What is the outcome of a successful Calibration Check?

A successful calibration check for the Intoxilyzer 9000 indicates that the device is accurately measuring the blood alcohol content (BAC) and maintaining precision. The standard for a successful calibration involves ensuring that the readings fall within a specified tolerance range.

When the calibration check results in a reading within +/- 0.005 g/210L of the target value of 0.080 g/210L, it confirms that the instrument is functioning correctly and can produce reliable results. This margin ensures that minor fluctuations in measurement do not affect the accuracy of the device significantly. Consequently, readings between 0.075 g/210L and 0.085 g/210L would affirm that the calibration is on point.

The other potential outcomes, such as readings outside this range or exceeding certain thresholds, would indicate issues with the device’s calibration, suggesting it may not provide accurate readings for assessing intoxication levels.
