The blow-and-suck method is a technique that requires the person blowing into the device to submit the sample and briefly suck air back after having provided the sample. The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate that an individual is actually providing the breath sample and that it is not coming from a non-human source and to reduce the likelihood of an – untrained – bystander providing the breath sample in place of the offender.
