4.6 Breath sample
4.6.1 Taking an automatic breath sample
Use a new mouthpiece for each measurement.
Do not expose the sensor to high alcohol concentrations, e.g. by
rinsing the mouth with alcoholic drinks with a high alcohol proof shortly
before the measurement. Doing so shortens the life span of the
sensor.
Before taking the breath sample, ensure that the correct measuring
mode has been selected.
1. Remove the mouthpiece (see "Order list", page 28) from its
packaging. For hygiene reasons, keep the mouth contact area
covered by the packaging to protect it until the mouthpiece is firmly
attached to the device.
2. Position the mouthpiece at an angle with the serrated marking
(contact surface) facing upward and push it up and into the
mouthpiece receptacle (see Figure 1 on the fold-out page).
The mouthpiece audibly clicks into place.
The mouthpiece can be used from the left or right side.
3. Fully remove the packaging.
4. Blow evenly and without interruption into the mouthpiece.
A circular progress bar indicating progress as a percentage
value is displayed (see the fold-out page, Figure 2: B, C).
4.6.1.1 Reading the result
The following settings depend on the configuration.
The preconfigured alarm thresholds set if the yellow or red indication
is shown.

Dräger Alcotest®7000 15
Three types of results are possible.
●No alcohol detected (see the fold-out page, Figure 2: D). In
addition, the green LED lights up. The device is ready for use
again after 2 seconds.
Or
●Low level of alcohol detected (see the fold-out page, Figure 2: E).
In addition, the yellow LEDs light up. Press the button to
proceed with the next measurement.
Or
●Alcohol detected (see the fold-out page, Figure 2: F). In addition,
the red LED lights up. Press the button to proceed with the
next measurement.
Once the sensor's recovery time has elapsed (see "Technical data",
page 26), the display indicates that the device is ready for
measurement.
●Repeat step four of the process for taking an automatic breath
sample.
4.6.2 Taking a manual breath sample (optional)
If the subject cannot provide the required minimum volume of breath,
manual sampling can be activated.
To take a manual breath sample:
1. Follow steps one to four of the process for taking an automatic
breath sample.
2. Briefly press the button if the circular progress bar is displayed
once breath sampling has begun.
In the results display, MANUAL is also displayed.
4.6.3 Taking a passive breath sample (optional)
During passive sampling, sampling is manually activated by the user
of the device. Possible applications for this include testing the ambient
air or a person's breath for the presence of alcohol.

en | Use
16 Dräger Alcotest®7000
To take a passive breath sample:
1. Hold the ready device without the mouthpiece in the air to be
analyzed.

and the red LED lights up.
If no alcohol is detected, the message NO ALC. is displayed
and the green LED lights up.
In the results display, PASSIVE is also displayed.
4.6.4 Low-volume breath sample (optional)
If the subject cannot provide the required minimum volume of breath,
a sample with a low volume can be taken. To take a breath sample
with a low volume, this option must be activated in the device menu.
When a breath sample is taken, the device checks whether this option
is activated. When the option is active, the device may take an early
breath sample and display Low volume next to the result.
4.7 Breath sampling with the funnel
4.7.1 Taking a breath sample
CAUTION
Hygiene
►Do not touch the upper part of the funnel.
►Always maintain a distance of 2–3 cm from the subject or object to
be tested.

2. Hold the funnel using the grip areas on the sides and attach it
firmly to the top of the device (it can only point in one direction).
3. Ask the subject to blow evenly and without interruption into the
funnel without touching it.

While the sample is being taken, an animated circular progress
bar that also indicates progress as a percentage value is
displayed (see Band Cin Figure 2 on the fold-out page).
If sampling was successful, the tone ends with a clear, audible
click.
The display shows a spinning progress bar during an ongoing
analysis process.
The result is displayed after a few seconds and stored by the
device.
