Blood Alcohol and Breath Alcohol Comparisons using the Intox EC/IR II
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During Impaired Driving Investigations, peace officers can use a breath testing instrument to determine the concentration of alcohol in a person's blood to support a charge of operating a motor vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) in excess of 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The evidentiary instruments used for this purpose must be court-acceptable instruments, also known as Approved Instruments, which are named by Order of the Attorney General of Canada. One such instrument recently added to the Approved Breath Analysis Instruments Order (2009), the Intox EC/IR II, has been selected by many Canadian police agencies to replace aging instruments presently used. The purpose of this study was to look at the correlation between the BAC as determined from breath analysis on this recently approved instrument and the near simultaneous results from whole blood collection and analysis from volunteer drinking subjects. The results suggest that breath testing with the Intox EC/IR II underestimates the true BAC.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
