Breath pulse code

Breath pulse code

« Back to Glossary Index

The breath pulse code is a technique that requires a series of short and long breath pulses which must be provided prior to giving a breath sample. Requiring the use of such codes when providing a breath sample reduces the likelihood of an – untrained – bystander providing the breath sample in place of the offender. Also, associating such codes with high-BrAC readings can be useful in identifying the driver in some instances.
