What should be done after testing a subject with the Intoxilyzer 9000?

After testing a subject with the Intoxilyzer 9000, it is crucial to document the results correctly in the appropriate records. Accurate documentation serves multiple purposes; it ensures that the test results are easily accessible for legal and administrative reasons, maintains a clear audit trail, and supports the integrity of the testing process. This documentation is essential in cases where the results may be needed for court proceedings or further administrative actions.

Properly recording the test results also helps safeguard against any potential disputes about the data gathered, as it reflects compliance with required protocols and procedures. In addition, thorough documentation allows for effective tracking of statistics and trends related to testing, thereby contributing to overall public safety efforts.

Other actions, such as disposing of samples or verbally notifying subjects of their results, may not adhere to protocol or legal requirements, while resetting the machine is usually secondary and dependent on operational needs rather than an immediate necessary step after testing.
