CONDUCTING AN AUTOMATIC TEST
Breath Testing Modes
The FC20 is capable of conducting 3 distinct types of breath
tests.
è Automatic Test is the most used and highest accuracy test.
The FC20 monitors the subject’s breath and automatically
takes the sample near the end of the breath flow.
è Manual Test is normally used only when the subject is una-
ble to provide a sufficient air sample for the automatic test.
è Passive Test is a quick screen to detect alcohol but is not
designed to quantify the results. Passive results are report-
ed as POS if alcohol is detected, NEG if alcohol is not de-
tected. In this mode, no mouthpiece is required.
