What is the minimum breath volume required for a valid test on the Intoxilyzer 8000?

The minimum breath volume required for a valid test on the Intoxilyzer 8000 is 1.5 liters. This specification is important because the device relies on an adequate amount of breath sample to accurately analyze the presence of alcohol in the bloodstream. If the provided sample is below this threshold, the test may yield unreliable results or could even be invalidated due to insufficient sample size. Proper training and operation of the device emphasize the necessity of achieving this minimum volume to ensure reliable readings and maintain the integrity of the testing process.
