VERIFICATION AND CALIBRATION

Calibration of the AlcoHAWK

®

Slim occurs during manufacturing using

advanced alcohol simulation equipment. The manufacturer passing

known alcohol concentrations through the sensor to set baseline values

for testing. During testing, the unit compares users’ breath samples

to these baseline values. If the verification determines that the BAC is

not consistent with actual BAC levels, a technician calibrates the unit.

The accuracy of breath alcohol testers can fluctuate after six to twelve

months, depending on frequency of use and operating conditions.
