INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Andatech® Prodigy 3.
The Andatech® Prodigy 3 is a state-of-the-art device used to detect Ethyl Alcohol from a valid
breath sample. It uses an electrochemical fuel cell to measure the concentration of alcohol from
the breath sample expelled from a human subject.
If alcohol is present, a corresponding voltage is generated from the fuel cell, which is proportional
to the alcohol content of the sample provided by a human subject. This voltage is then sent to the
CPU and converted to a subject’s BAC (blood alcohol concentration), which is then displayed.
The operator of this device should read the operation manual and be familiar with the device
operation before using it. Retain the manual for future reference.
Prodigy 3 Features
1. Stores more than 100,000 test records along with full data and photographs. Test records can be
uploaded to a computer for record keeping.
2. Uses disposable mouthpieces or sampling cups to prevent foreign matter from entering.
3. A hard plastic case is included for storing the device and its accessories for easy transport. When
not in use, the device and its accessories should be stored in this hard case to prevent damage.
4. Ability to take consecutive tests as needed. Recovery time between tests on average is 30
seconds (between positive tests).
5. Powered by a High-capacity lithium battery. The battery is located behind the sliding cover
on the back of the device. The level of power left in the battery is indicated on the screen. A
cigarette plug adapter is also included for use by the operator.
6. Storage temperature range is -30°C to 70°C and storage humidity is 15% to 90% RH (relative
humidity). Inappropriate storage of the device will shorten the lifespan of the fuel cell sensor.
7. Saves the GPS location of the test.
8. Immediate data transmission by 3G/4G and WIFI.

MEASUREMENTS & CONDITIONS FOR TEST
• Use a clean mouthpiece for each test.
• The optimum temperature range for operating the unit is -10°C to 50°C. Use within this
temperature range will limit condensation from a subject’s breath and ensure an accurate
reading is taken.
• Do not allow samples containing smoke,tobacco or other chemical products to enter the unit, as
damage to the fuel cell sensor can occur.
• It is recommended that the operator observe the subject for approximately 20 minutes before
administering the breath test. This is to ensure the subject does not consume anything.
Following this procedure will ensure the subject’s saliva is clear of alcohol so that it does not
alter the outcome of the breath sample test.
• There must be an interval of at least 15 minutes after alcohol consumption as alcohol residue
in the mouth may give a false reading. Such residue may also be left by aromatic drinks,
mouthwash, medicines and drops, as well as by belching and vomiting. Mouth rinsing with water
or non-alcoholic drinks does not substitute for an interval.
• A person’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) can continue to rise for up to 2 hours after
drinking alcohol. If a result is close to the designated BAC, it is recommended to wait and retest
after 20 minutes.
• It can take 10 hours or more for a person’s BAC to return to zero after a high BAC has been
reached. A further test should be carried out later in the day or the following morning.
