Importance
of Calibration:
Safe-Drive
and Safe-Mate are the breathalyzers
that have user self-calibration function. The user can
self-calibrate anywhere at anytime. Calibration feature
allows the breathalyzer to retain its accuracy even
with thousands of tests. Other products that do not
offer calibration will lose its accuracy over time and
will not give accurate readings. Many other similar
products do not offer such crucial feature. The self-calibration
feature of Safe-Drive and Safe-Mate
will save recalibration costs and provide accurate readings
with long-term reliability.
What is Calibration?
All breathalyzers indicate BAC (Breath Alcohol Contents)
level based on the information stored in the sensor's
memory. Exact values of certain BAC levels are stored
so that the sensor can provide the most accurate readings.
Over time, however, these stored values loses accuracy
as more tests are conducted. The sensor itself and the
stored sensor values deteriorate over time and with
more tests, affected by external variables. In order
to restore the sensor readings to maintain better accuracy,
all breathalyzers must be recalibrated to refresh the
sensor values and to allow the breathalyzer to obtain
accurate readings.
How often breathalyzer require Calibration?
It varies depending on the breathalyzer but it is recommended
for breathalyzers to be calibrated every 200~300 tests
or 4~12 months.
Costs of Calibration:
Can users perform
recalibration?
Yes, but only with Safe Mate and Safe Drive. No shipping,
no expertise, and no fees are required when user calibrations
are performed.
Easy 2-step user calibration:
1. Press and hold the operating button for 5 sec. Light
will go from 1st to 5th light, 1st to 5th light, and
then 5th to 1st.
2. Blow clean air 1 cm to 3cm away, without alcohol,
soda, or smoke.
Warning:
User recalibration will not restore the sensors to perfect
sensor values, but it will drastically improve sensor
readings. The sensor is sensitive to temperature, humidity,
and air pollution and the sensor readings may be affected.
