AlcoQuant 6020
4.1 Measurement in the active mode (Menu item 1)
Measuring in the active device operating mode serves to determine the precise alcohol level in
the expired air. It is ensured that for this process only deep lung air is delivered to the sensor.
This is necessary because the only clear correlation is between the alcohol content of deep
lung air and the blood alcohol level.
How to insert the mouthpiece
The prepared original mouthpiece must be inserted into the mouthpiece port of the AlcoQuant
6020 before measuring is performed. For this purpose the hygienic packaging of the mouth
piece must first be removed. Please use the hygienic packaging as an hygienic protection
(refer to pictures).
Possible faults – Cancel measurement
If the blowing-in process is interrupted before sample collection is completed, a long dual tone
can be heard and an error message is displayed. The blowing-in process must be repeated.
•
For every measurement please use a new mouth piece
•
The expiration aperture must be kept free during the blowing-in process,
otherwise the measured value is distorted.
•
If it is suspected that the test subject is under the influence of alcohol despite a
zero reading, on account of his or her behavior or the smell of alcohol on his or
her breath, the device must be checked by trained service personnel.
•
Patients with reduced lung capacity may not achieve the required expiration air of
1.2 l. In this case, a measurement is to be performed in the passive
measurement mode (without mouthpiece).
