If a Canadian qualified technician conducts one or more calibration checks in a breath room where someone is receiving a cell phone call, are the calibration checks reliable? This video depicts a cal. check of 151 mg/100mls using an alcohol standard with a target value of 100 mg/100mls. If the operator in a real breath room got results like this they would probably try the test again, change the solution, or send the Intoxilyzer out for repair. But if the alcohol standard is used to conduct a calibration check on the Intoxilyzer, and not the other way around, shouldn't there be a rule that qualified technicians and other persons in the breath room shall not have cell phones present? If that is not part of Canadian protocol why isn't it? Who in the government has done serious research top preclude such results in the field? This particular instrument needs maintenance.
