Product profile

The Dräger X-cal 2000 breath alcohol simulator is used to calibrate various breath alcohol tes-
ters. Using an embedded electronic device with a closed loop temperature control system, the
X-cal 2000 simulator generates breath flow to provide a precise calibration standard. The sim-
ulator also uses an alcohol reference solution, the concentration of which is very sensitive. To
accurately simulate human breath, the temperature of the water-alcohol solution used in the
solution container is maintained at 34 °C ± 0.02 °C.

Preparation for use

3.1.1 Alcohol reference solution
Use the solution concentration specified in the manual for breath testing devices.

Replace solution every 5 days or 20 tests.

Use of solution over time affects alcohol concentration.

Do not use a solution bottle with a broken seal, or an expired bottle.

Never use artificial methods to reheat or cool solution, or the solution container.

Keep solution at room temperature.

Do not freeze or refrigerate solution.

Do not ingest solution.

If solution is ingested, do not induce vomiting; contact your local poison control centre.

Keep solution away from eyes.

If solution comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes with water; if irritation continues, contact

your local poison control centre.
Refer to your local environmental regulations for more information about safe solution-dis-

posal amounts.
Dispose solution down a drain.
