Breath screening tests carried out by means of a Dräger 6510 must be carried out in the following manner

a. Step 1: Preliminary action

i. The authorised person must observe the display panel showing READY. If the display panel does not show READY, the authorised person must depress the OK button briefly and repeat this Step 1(i).

ii. The authorised person must, before or after Step 1(i), attach a mouthpiece to the breath inlet port of the device.

b. Step 2: Breath screening test

In that case, the authorised person may depress the OK button on the device, and repeat Step 1 and this Step 2, unless the authorised person believes the person being tested has failed or refused and will continue to fail or refuse to undergo the test without delay.
