What is the primary function of the Intoxilyzer 9000?

The primary function of the Intoxilyzer 9000 is to measure the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) in a person's breath. This device operates on the principle that when a person exhales, alcohol present in their bloodstream is also present in their breath. The Intoxilyzer uses infrared spectroscopy to analyze the breath sample and quantify the amount of alcohol, providing a measurement of BAC that is used in law enforcement and legal proceedings to determine if an individual is under the influence of alcohol.

This capability is crucial for ensuring public safety and enforcing DUI laws. The accuracy and reliability of the Intoxilyzer 9000 make it a key instrument in the field of breath alcohol testing, distinguishing it clearly from other medical or health assessments that are unrelated to alcohol measurement.
