What should be done if a person is flagged for interferent detected?

When a person is flagged for interferent detected on the Intoxilyzer 8000, administering medical attention or taking them to a hospital is crucial. This is because the detection of an interferent could indicate the presence of substances or medical conditions that may affect the individual's health or the accuracy of the breath test. Interferents can lead to false readings or may suggest potential medical issues that need to be addressed immediately.

Providing medical attention ensures that the individual's wellbeing is prioritized and that any risks associated with the interferent are properly managed. Depending on the situation, this could involve a medical evaluation or treatment to address any underlying health concerns. Other responses, such as giving water, calling law enforcement, or providing food, do not specifically address the potential health risks or requirements for medical intervention that can arise from detected interferents.
