Ignition Interlock Program

Installation: Once the customer has an IID restriction, an appointment is scheduled with a service center for installation of the IID. At the initial installation, the customer will be trained on how to use the device and the applicable program requirements. Monitoring: The IID will be monitored regularly so that the IID data can

The IID will allow the ignition to be restarted without providing a breath test for several minutes following the engine's cease of operation. This will allow the driver a sufficient amount of time to quickly restart the engine.

The person, company, or corporation that produces an ignition interlock device and certifies to the division that the manufacturer's representative and manufacturer's service providers are qualified to service and provide information on the manufacturer's state-approved ignition interlock device.

Once the key has been put into the vehicle's ignition, and turned on to provide power to the vehicle, the device will be activated. The device will prompt the driver to provide a breath sample. The driver will attempt to provide a valid breath sample, by blowing into the device as previously instructed. If

The frequency of monitoring is usually once per month.

Fees are incurred for installation, monitoring, removal and other servicing to the IID. The IID is typically leased to the customer, and all costs will be reviewed at the time of the initial call to schedule installation.

Events (initial breath test and subsequent retests) are stored in the IID for future upload or reported in real time. Uploaded reports can then be provided to the appropriate monitoring agency / officer.

All IIDs must conform to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standards as set forth in the Model Specifications for BAIIDs in the Federal Register, and any other state specific requirements.

If a customer has difficulty with providing a sufficient amount of breath for a valid sample, the IID can be lowered to the minimum allowable 1.5L of breath, as set forth by NHTSA.

An ignition interlock device (IID) or breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID) can prevent a driver from starting a vehicle if the driver's breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is above a pre-set fail level. Similar to a breathalyzer, the IID analyzes the breath sample provided by the driver to determine the BrAC. If the BrAC
