Safety and precautions
Take the following precautions to ensure smooth and uninterrupted use of the SAF’IR
EVOLUTION:
Use the product for its intended purpose only.
Do not open SAF’IR EVOLUTION’s case or the printer (when provided). Doing so will
void the warranty and may also damage the internal components.
Prior to taking a test, it is highly recommended to follow the instructions displayed
on the front label of the instrument.
Note: If the subject undergoing the test has ingested alcohol shortly before the test,
there may be some trace of alcohol in the upper respiratory tract, causing the
results to be misleading. SAF’IR EVOLUTION is designed to detect mouth alcohol
and displays a cycle error message in such a case.
Mouthpieces must be used for the tests. The mouthpieces provided are
individually packed in sealed bags. A new mouthpiece has to be used for each test.
It is also advisable to use SAF’IR EVOLUTION with the provided pouch.
