What is the primary function of the data retention system in the Intoxilyzer 9000?

The primary function of the data retention system in the Intoxilyzer 9000 is to record test results and device status. This capability is crucial because it ensures that all test outcomes, along with important information about the device’s operational status during each test, are accurately logged and saved for future reference. This data can be vital in legal contexts, where the integrity of the test results must be demonstrated, and any discrepancies in the device’s performance may need to be assessed.

Collecting and retaining test results and device status helps maintain a reliable and verifiable record of breath tests administered. Such documentation supports legal proceedings and provides transparency in the testing process, which is essential for upholding the standards required in DUI enforcement and other related investigations.
