Understanding BAC 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 and countries prosecute individuals for

driving under the influence at any level.
