Evidential Accuracy for Law Enforcement
The Alco-Sensor IV with Memory is approved by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation (DOT) as an evidential breath testing devices. The Alco-Sensor IV with Memory is widely used by law enforcement agencies as a PBT (Preliminary Breath Tester). Accuracy exceeds +/- .005 at .100 BrAC.

Dept. of Transportation Alcohol Testing
The Alco-Sensor IV with Memory connects to the DP1012 portable printer or the Slip printer to provide an economical and convenient DOT-compliant alcohol testing system for workplace testing. The Alco-Sensor IV with Memory assists the operator in complying with the DOT test protocol by counting down the 15-minute wait period after screening test results of .020 or greater and automatically starting a confirmation test.

Computer Capable
Law enforcement and corrections agencies use optional Total Recall software to facilitate uploading test results to a computer and generating reports from a database of test results.

Accuracy Checks and Calibration Adjustments
There are two procedures used to maintain the accuracy of alcohol testing instruments. The operator performs the Accuracy Check procedure to determine if the instrument is reading correctly. If the Accuracy Check procedure determines that the instrument is not reading correctly, the operator performs a Calibration Adjustment procedure. The operator must have acceptable Accuracy Check and Calibration Equipment to perform the Accuracy Check and Calibration Adjustment procedure.

Frequency of Accuracy Checks
In general, Intoximeters recommends performing Accuracy Checks at least once a month. Programs may develop their own policies to perform Accuracy Checks at more frequent intervals.

Frequency of Calibration Adjustments
In general, Intoximeters does not require the operator to perform periodic Calibration Adjustments. Calibration Adjustments are performed only when an Accuracy Check procedure determines that the instrument is not reading correctly. Agencies may develop their own policies that require periodic Calibration Adjustments.

Accuracy Check and Calibration Equipment
The following equipment may be used to perform Accuracy Checks and Calibration Adjustments with the Alco-Sensor IV with Memory.
Alcohol Gas Tank and Regulator
Simulator

Quality Assurance Plan
When performing Dept. of Transportation (DOT) alcohol testing operators are required to follow the Intoximeter Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). The QAP specifies the frequency of Accuracy Checks and Calibration Adjustments and other procedures to maintain the instrument in accurate condition.
