| Introduction |
 |
|
| |
The evidential Intox EC/IR is a state-of-the-art breath alcohol
analyzing instrument which incorporates several analytical systems to
optimize deep lung sampling, and other breath conditions in order to
ensure the best sample for analysis. The instrument also offers an analog
control system which controls all functions of the instrument.

| How it Works |
|
|
| |
The instrument monitors the subjects breath flow and volume and/or uses
the IR sensor to provide continuous determination of alcohol concentration
in the breath. This is called "real time" analysis of the breath
sample and offers several benefits. First it allows the unit to make a
determination of the presence of mouth alcohol and second, it allows the
instrument to determine when a deep lung sample is in the sample manifold
and ready for analysis.
Once the instrument determines that the subject has provided a deep
lung breath sample the instrument automatically collects a breath sample
and presents it to the fuel cell sensor for analysis. The electro-chemical
(fuel cell) is a porous disk with a thin layer of platinum black on both
faces and saturated with electrolyte. When the subject's breath sample is
drawn across the top surface of the cell, the alcohol that comes in
contact with the cell's surface is broken down chemically. The alcohol is
converted to acetic acid plus electrons. The number of electrons generated
are in proportion to the amount of alcohol in the sample. By measuring the
number of electrons (the resulting electrical signal) the output is
converted to a digital BrAC (Breath Alcohol Concentration) value.
