What is the purpose of the Intoxilyzer 9000?

The Intoxilyzer 9000 is specifically designed to measure blood alcohol concentration (BAC) through breath analysis. It operates by analyzing the amount of alcohol present in the breath that a person exhales, which correlates to their BAC. When a person consumes alcohol, it enters the bloodstream and eventually evaporates into the lungs, where it can be detected in the breath. The Intoxilyzer 9000 employs infrared spectroscopy to identify and quantify the alcohol present, providing law enforcement and testing facilities with reliable results for legal and health-related purposes. This specialized function distinguishes it from devices aimed at measuring blood pressure, detecting illegal drugs, or assessing overall health, as those tools serve entirely different medical or law enforcement roles.
