4.2 Measurement in passive mode (Menu item 2)
The values measured in the passive mode do not correspond to the breath alcohol
concentration in the deep lung air and therefore do not lead to any conclusions on the
blood alcohol concentration. The exact breath alcohol concentration in the lung air
can be determined exactly only in the active device mode.

Select >Passive mode<
The passive mode (without mouthpiece) serves to
check the ambient air for any alcohol content it
may contain, e.g. for possible presence of alcohol
content in the case of patients who are not
responsive. It is only to check if there is any
alcohol in the ambient air. Any values that vary
from zero (0.00) indicate that there is alcohol in the
ambient air.
Place the device which is ready to take
measurements (without mouthpiece) close to the
point to be measured (e.g. in front of the patient's
mouth and nose) for about 5–10 seconds (s).
After this time trigger the sample collection by
pressing briefly once on the "Start button". When
used on patients, the sample collection should be
triggered when the patient is breathing out.
No alcohol detected
If no alcohol is detected, a signal sounds off and
the green LED lights up.
Alcohol detected
If alcohol is displayed then a dual signal tone
sounds and the red LED lights up.
