What should be included in the documentation following a breath test with the Intoxilyzer 8000?

Including the test results and a copy of the test report in the documentation following a breath test with the Intoxilyzer 8000 is essential for several reasons. The test results serve as the primary evidence of the subject's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of testing, which is crucial for legal proceedings or further administrative actions. A copy of the test report provides a documented account of the procedures followed and the specific results obtained, ensuring that there is a clear record that can be referenced later. This documentation is critical for maintaining the integrity of the testing process and supporting the validity of the results in a legal context.

While it’s also important to collect detailed notes about the operator's observations, the subject's personal information, and any potential eyewitness accounts, the test results and the report are the definitive data needed in conjunction with the Intoxilyzer 8000 operation. These elements provide the foundational framework of evidence regarding the testing process and outcomes.
