The Intoxilyzer 8000 is a new device, made by Kentucky company, that can be carried in the back of a police cruiser and tests your breath for alcohol. It appears to be accurate at the factory, but the company has not developed a maintenance and calibration plan, meaning it may not be accurate if left in the police cruiser trunk. As Kentucky plans to deploy the Intoxilyzer 8000s, several of our neighboring states have experienced court challenges to its accuracy. We at Health Matters like the name “Intoxilyzer 8000”. That’s all.
Tip: If you are at high risk for colon cancer, or have family members with colon cancer, speak to your doctor. Otherwise, everyone at average risk should be screened from age 50-75.
