Both instruments in Oklahoma test Breath using INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY

INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY The ethanol molecule has two ends, the hydrogen end and the hydroxide (carbon-oxygen bond) end. NOW HOLD THAT THOUGHT . . . .

In the visual spectrum: We can tell how much fog or smoke is in the air by how much light is blocked from a light source.

BEER-LAMBERT LAW (Provides the theoretical basis for IR breath testing.) Each molecule absorbs infrared light waves in a unique way. Thus, each molecule has its own “infrared fingerprint.” Ethanol molecules absorb infrared light at wavelengths of approximately 3.00, 3.39, 7.25, 9.18, 9.50 and 11.5 microns. No other compound absorbs infrared light at all of these wavelengths exclusively.

In the Infrared spectrum, the hydrogen end and the hydroxide end act like the fog to block the the light – BUT ONLY in the 3.4 uM and 9.4 uM wavelengths, exclusively. 3.4hhhhhhh 9.4hhhhhhhhhhh

EVERYTHING ELSE PASSES THROUGH 3.4hhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 9.4hhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

THE INSTRUMENT MEASURES THE INTENSITY OF THE INFRARED LIGHT WITH CLEAN ROOM AIR. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The Instrument then compares the breath sample to determine how much of the 3.4 & 9.4uM are “missing” (blocked by ethanol) hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

BREATH ALCOHOL CONTENT THE DIFFERENCE, OR “MISSING” IR WAVE INTENSITY CAN BE MEASURED AND IS DUE TO THE BREATH ALCOHOL CONTENT

BEER-LAMBERT LAW (Provides the theoretical basis for IR breath testing.) Each molecule absorbs infrared light waves in a unique way. Thus, each molecule has its own “infrared fingerprint.” Ethanol molecules absorb infrared light at wavelengths of approximately 3.00, 3.39, 7.25, 9.18, 9.50 and 11.5 microns. No other compound absorbs infrared light at all of these wavelengths exclusively.

IF they are not the same, by a 5% difference, THEN the instrument will determine a substance other than ethanol, an interferent, is in the sample. The measurements of the 3.4uM and 9.4uM wavelength filters must match or the substance is an interferent.

Intoxilyzer 8000 The 8000 operation is similar to the 5000 with the following enhancements ACCESS CARD with bar code - used to scan in operator information Able to scan the bar code on DL for subject information No Specialist for the 8000 No Log Of Tests – now on each Affidavit

Intoxilyzer 8000 Uses dry gas instead of simulator solution Able to run approx 325 test before dry gas cylinder needs to be changed or approx 2 years before cylinder expiration date Retains complete Affidavit information Sends Affidavit information to BOT and LEADRS

Intoxilyzer 8000 To perform a test on the Intoxilyzer 8000 an officer must have a valid permit. The first thing he will do is scan his ACCESS card and put in his PIN or manually type in the information if he does not have his ACCESS card. The 8000 will check an internal data base to verify if your permit is valid, if not you will not be able to operate the instrument. It takes about fifteen minutes to delete an operator from the database across the state if he is disqualified for any reason.

INTOXILYZER 8000 Access Card information – The officers no longer have to type this information. LAST, FIRST, MIDDLE NAME BADGE NUMBER PERMIT NUMBER AGENCY AGENCY ADDRESS, ZIP, PHONE PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN) (verify correct operator for digital signature)

BREATH TEST SEQUENCE IF THE SUBJECT DOESN’T BLOW AN ADEQUATE SAMPLE, STOPS TOO SOON, STARTS AND STOPS, OR BLOWS AND SUCKS THE SCREEN WILL CONTINUE TO PROMPT “PLEASE BLOW” FOR 3 MINUTES AFTER WHICH YOU WILL GET A PRINTOUT STATING DEFICIENT SAMPLE

BREATH TEST SEQUENCE IF THE BREATH SAMPLES ARE MORE THAN .03 APART, THE TEST IS NOT VALID AND THE INTOXILYZER WILL PROMPT “RETRY Y/N” YOU CAN RETRY UP TO 3 TIMES WITHOUT HAVING TO RE-ENTER THE SUBJECT INFORMATION. THIS IS ANOTHER PROTECTION AGAINST TESTING MOUTH ALCOHOL.

BREATH TEST SEQUENCE IF THE TESTING SEQUENCE FAILS, ANY PRINTOUT IS EVIDENCE OF WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE TEST. THE SUBJECT SHOULD RECEIVE A COPY A COPY SHOULD GO TO EVERYONE WHO NORMALLY GETS A COPY OF THE THE AFFIDAVIT THE PRINTOUTS ARE SAVED IN THE MEMORY OF THE INSTRUMENT AND ARE IMMEDIATELY UPLOADED TO THE BOARD COMPUTER IN OKLAHOMA CITY. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET THEM.

BREATH TEST SEQUENCE IF THE TESTING SEQUENCE COMPLETES SUCCESSFULLY THE OFFICER’S AFFIDAVIT AND NOTICE OF REVOCATION/DISQUALIFICATION IS SAVED THE SAME WAY. THEY ARE NEVER PURGED FROM THE MAIN COMPUTER. YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO GET A PRINTOUT TEN YEARS FROM NOW. (It may cost you.)

OFFICER’S AFFIDAVIT DISTRIBUTION On the Officer/DPS Affidavit the officer will complete SECTIONS 2, 3 & 4. SECTION 4 does NOT require a notary.

The 8000 Intoxilyzer Log of Tests is the Officer Affidavit

IMPLIED CONSENT CIVIL ACTION NOT CRIMINAL BURDEN OF PROOF How do you know (something) worked poperly? IMPLIED CONSENT CIVIL ACTION NOT CRIMINAL BURDEN OF PROOF Breath Test Operating Procedure – Push the GREEN button and follow the prompts. If an Affidavit prints, the Officer followed the procedure approved by the Board of Test. If a test result appears, it is a valid, state’s test – even if the result is 0.00.

ADMISSIBILITY 47 O.S. sec. 756 A (brutally edited) Upon the trial of any proceeding out of acts committed by any person driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, evidence of the alcohol concentration in the breath of the person as shown by analysis of the breath performed in accordance with Sections 752 and 759 of [title 47] IS admissible.

COMPLIANCE WITH SS 752 & 759 47 O.S. 752 H (brutally edited) Tests breath for determining the alcohol concentration, under the provisions of [O.S. Title 47], to be admissible in evidence under the provisions of this [O.S. Title 47], shall have been administered in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Board.

COMMON RED HERRINGS The breath tube on the I8000 is shorter than the 5000D and the heater may have failed. Something in the sample chamber could increase the reading by blocking the infra-red light. Mouth alcohol was measured in the breath sample.

COMMON RED HERRINGS No one can review the source code. The particulate screen can clog. The driver can affect the test result by hyperventilating. RFI may have affected the result. Another gaseous substance in the breath may raise the result – interferents.
