Evaluation of a portable evidential breath alcohol analyzer

The effects of extreme temperature and altitude were also examined using wet bath simulators and dry gas calibrant. Accuracy and precision were evaluated at high and low temperatures. High altitude performance was evaluated at 3534 m above sea level at a local ski resort. In addition to the scientific study, field evaluations were also conducted by law enforcement personnel. Based upon the results of the study, the Intoxilyzer® 8000 was approved as an evidential breath alcohol analyzer in the State of New Mexico.
