VerIfICaTIOn and CalIbraTIOn
The BACTRACK is calibrated during manufacture using ad-
vanced alcohol simulation equipment. Known alcohol concentra-
tions 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.
If this product is providing inconsistent test results, is not provid-
ing any test results, or provides unusually high or low test results,
the product should be recalibrated immediately by a trained
professional.
The product should be recalibrated at least every six to twelve
months. If the product is used every day, it may need to be
recalibrated as frequently as every month.
Calibration Instructions
Please visit www.bactrack.com or call 877-334-6876 for
information on how to get your BACTRACK Breathalyzer
recalibrated.
During recalibration, a professional technician will reset the
sensor baseline values and also perform a full diagnostic check
to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the product.
