Blood flows through the lungs and some of the alcohol passes across the membranes of the tiny air sacs (alveori) and is exhaled as air. The concentration of the alcohol in the alveolar air is proportional to the alcohol contained in the blood. This is recorded as a percentage of breath alcohol concentration (BAC). </p> <p>The Alcosafe will display readings on a 2 digit LED display with a range of .00 - .12% BAC</p> <p>In performing a breath alcohol test, it is necessary to analyse the alveolar (deep lung air sample). The <i><b><font face="Arial" size="3">AlcoSafe</font></b></i> tester incorporates the latest electronic pressure transducer, so as to record samples which deliver at least 1.5 Litres with a continuous exhale for 5 seconds. This is important to eliminate short exhaled samples, which can affect the accuracy of the readings.</p> <b><p >RE-TEST</p></b> <p>The intoxication level will vary by each individual, and depends upon many factors ; such as the concentration level of alcohol consumed, the contents of the stomach, your weight and gender . Alcohol will continue to enter the blood stream well after your last drink, so it’s important to re-test even after 2 hours from your last drink .</p> <p><b>BREATH ALCOHOL LIMITS :</b></p> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="50%"> <tr> <td width="50%"><b> NEW ZEALAND</b></td> <td width="50%"><b>AUSTRALIA</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Adult = .08 % BAC</td> <td width="50%">Adult = 0.05% BAC</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%">Under 20 = .03 % BAC</td> <td width="50%"> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <p align="center">Some drivers may be restricted to lower levels of BAC</p> <h1>Warranty</h1> <p>Manufacturer warrants for one year the product to be free from defects in workmanship or material (excluding re calibration) in normal service from the date of purchase. </p> <p>Manufacturer’s obligation under this warranty is limited to the original purchaser, to replacing, adjusting or repairing the unit if returned along with proof of purchase.

Alcosafe KX-168 Alcohol Breath Tester is the smallest digital tester available and is designed for measuring an individual Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC ) at one point in time. </p> <p>Wait 15 minutes after your last drink of Alcohol (so that any residual Alcohol is not retained in the mouth, and is dissipated into your system.)</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <ol> <li>Insert the battery, pull out the folding mouth piece</li> <li>Press the green power switch , a beep sound indicates and an LED dot in the left hand of the 2 digit display flashes to indicate the sensor is operating the purifying warm up cycled.</li> <li>Wait for the READY beep sound and the LED dot to stop flashing. Immediately place your lips, sealing the mouthpiece and blow / exhale for approx 5 seconds until it the tester beeps twice . A continuous beep tone during the exhale indicates the tester is receiving a alcohol breath sample. The tester will automatically turn off if no air pressure is detected within 15 seconds.</li> </ol> </blockquote> </blockquote> <h1>Reading the test sample</h1> <p>The LED 2 digit digit display will record reading within the range of  .00 - .12 % B.A.C</p> <p>If there is an error with the test result, one of the following symbols will appear to inform the user why the test did not work correctly.</p> <blockquote> <p><b>PL :</b> The sensor has been polluted.  This can occur if the user has not waited at least 15 minutes after smoking, eating or due to a heavy polluted environment (bar smoke) Press power switch for re-test.</p> <p><b>RP :</b> The tester did not detect an even alcohol concentration, or the exhale / blow time was too short. A repeat test is required. Press the power switch to re-test.</p> <p><b>.00 :</b> Less than .01% B.A.C alcohol is detected. </p> <p><b>0 :</b> No or very low alcohol has been detected or no sound tone during the exhale / blowing time.  Press the power switch to re-test.</p> <p><b>H : </b>Reading exceeds upper limit .12 % B.A.C.
