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

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.
