The key to the accuracy of a breath test is to ensure that the device captures the alcohol in the alveolar breath (deep-lung breath) of the subject. This is typically accomplished by programming the unit to accept a minimum amount of breath (no less than 1.5 liters) from the subject. Also, the subject must blow for a minimum time with a minimum breath flow rate.
