What should the calibration results of a test fall within?

The correct range of calibration results for a breath alcohol testing device like the Intoxilyzer 9000 is specifically provided to ensure accuracy and reliability in measuring blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The range of 0.070-0.090g/210L is established based on empirical research and aligns with the standards set for breath testing instruments. This range is critical because it indicates the acceptable limits within which the device can accurately measure the presence of alcohol in a person’s breath.

By calibrating within this specific range, the device ensures that it functions correctly and produces results that are consistent and can be relied upon during testing. The selection of this calibration range corresponds to significant BAC thresholds that are recognized in law enforcement and judicial contexts, particularly in relation to DUI laws.

Employing calibration values outside of this range could lead to incorrect readings, which may affect legal outcomes or influence how individuals are processed following a breath test. Therefore, it's essential for professionals certified to operate the Intoxilyzer 9000 to be familiar with the correct calibration standards to uphold the integrity of breath alcohol testing.
