a.Prepare and maintain a written procedure governing its method of analysis, including guidelines for quality control and proficiency testing. A copy of the procedure shall be provided to ISPFS for initial approval.
Whenever procedure, protocol, or method changes (however named) are adopted by a laboratory, a copy of the update with the changes clearly indicated shall be approved by ISPFS before implementation;(3-23-22)
b.Provide adequate facilities and space for the procedure used. The laboratory alcohol related functions shall be subject to an assessment by either an accrediting body or the department each calendar year, and the results from the annual audit shall be submitted to the department. The assessment shall be at the expense of the laboratory;(3-23-22)
c.Maintain specimens in a limited access and secure storage area prior to analysis. A chain of custody shall be maintained while the evidence is in the laboratory;(3-23-22)
d.All instrumentation, equipment, reagents and glassware necessary for the performance of the chosen procedure shall be on hand or readily available on the laboratory premises. Instrument maintenance documentation shall be available for review by the department;(3-23-22)
e.Participate in approved proficiency testing according to standards set by the department.
Laboratories must pass proficiency testing from a department approved provider at least once a calendar year.
Approved providers include National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Collaborative Testing Services (CTS). Each test consists of at least four (4) blood samples spiked with an unknown concentration of ethyl alcohol, and possibly other volatiles, for qualitative determination. Participating laboratories are responsible for all costs associated with such tests. Results from proficiency tests must be submitted by the due date to the test provider and ISPFS. Results not submitted to a test provider within the allowed time do not qualify as a proficiency test. An alcohol concentration range is determined from the target value and ±3.0 standard deviations as provided by the proficiency test provider. Reported values must fall within this range. If a laboratory determines more than one (1) alcohol value for a given sample, the mean value of results will be submitted and evaluated. Upon satisfactory completion of an approved proficiency test, a certificate of approval will be issued by the department to the participating laboratory. Approval to perform legal blood alcohol determinations is continued until the results of the next proficiency test are reviewed and notification is sent to the respective laboratory by ISPFS. Failure to pass a proficiency test shall result in immediate suspension of testing by an analyst or laboratory in the form of a written inquiry from the department. The test is graded as unsuccessful when the mean results are outside the established tolerance range. The laboratory shall have thirty (30) calendar days to respond to the department inquiry. The department shall notify the laboratory within fourteen (14) calendar days regarding corrective action steps necessary to lift the testing suspension, or the department may issue a written revocation. The department shall not lift a proficiency testing related suspension or revocation until a successful proficiency test has been completed by the individual analyst or laboratory.(7-1-25)
f.Laboratory approval is awarded to the laboratory manager or analyst responsible for correct test performance. The department may suspend or revoke if requirements are not met. The department will issue the suspension or revocation in writing to the laboratory;(7-1-25)
02.Appeal. Reinstatement after revocation requires completed corrective action of any items listed on the revocation documentation issued by the department. Documentation of corrective actions taken to address the nonconformities shall be submitted to the department for review. Once the department is satisfied that the laboratory is in compliance with all requirements, the department will issue written approval for the resumption of testing by that laboratory or analyst. A laboratory may appeal a suspension or revocation to the Director of the department.
03.Blood Collection.
Blood collection shall be accomplished according to the following requirements:
04.Blood Samples. Shall be collected using sterile, dry syringes and hypodermic needles, or other equipment of equivalent sterility;(7-1-25)

c.If mouth alcohol is suspected or indicated by the testing instrument, the operator shall restart another fifteen (15) minute monitoring period if repeating the testing sequence. If during the monitoring period the subject/individual vomits or regurgitates material from the stomach into the breath pathway, the monitoring period should start over. If there is doubt as to the events occurring during the monitoring period, the operator should evaluate the instrument results for any indication of mouth alcohol.(7-1-25)
d.A complete breath alcohol test includes two (2) valid breath samples, preceded by air blanks, taken at least two (2) minutes apart. If the subject fails or refuses to provide two (2) adequate samples as requested by the operator, a single sample result shall be considered a valid test only if the observation period has been met. For hygienic reasons, the operator should use a new mouthpiece for each subject tested.(7-1-25)
e. Operators may end testing, repeat testing, or request a blood draw as needed. If a subject fails or refuses to provide adequate samples as requested by the operator, the results obtained are considered valid, provided the failure to supply the samples was the fault of the subject and not the operator.(7-1-25)
f.Additional breath samples shall, when possible, be collected if the results differ by more than zero point zero two (0.02) g/210L alcohol. Unless mouth alcohol is indicated or suspected, it is not necessary to repeat the monitoring period prior to obtaining additional breath samples.(7-1-25)
g.The breath sample results should correlate within zero point zero two (0.02) g/210L alcohol to show consistent sample delivery, indicate the absence of RFI, and to indicate the absence of alcohol contamination in the subject breath pathway as a contributing factor to the breath results.(7-1-25)

Both samples must be run with the same performance verification standard. Three (3) attempts at obtaining an acceptable performance verification are allowed.
Troubleshooting measures may be employed during this process. If the verifications fail, the instrument shall be taken out of service and not be returned to service until it has been calibrated and certified by ISPFS.(7-1-25)
c.A performance verification acquired during a breath testing sequence on an approved benchtop instrument consists of one (1) sample at either the zero point zero eight (0.08) or zero point two zero (0.20) level. A performance verification acquired outside the breath testing sequence on an approved benchtop instrument consists of two (2) samples at either the zero point zero eight (0.08) or zero point two zero (0.20) level. Three (3) attempts at obtaining an acceptable performance verification are allowed. Troubleshooting measures may be employed during this process. If the verifications fail, the instrument must be taken out of service and not be returned to service until it has been calibrated and certified by ISPFS.(7-1-25)
d.Performance verification checks must be within +/- 10% of the standard’s target value.(7-1-25)
e.A wet bath zero point zero eight (0.08) standard should be replaced with fresh standard approximately every twenty-five (25) verifications or every calendar month, whichever comes first. Closed loop, recirculating system should replace standards approximately every one hundred (100) verifications or every calendar month, whichever comes first.(7-1-25)
f.Wet bath zero point two zero (0.20) standards should be replaced with fresh standard approximately every twenty-five (25) verifications.(7-1-25)
g.Dry gas standards may be used continuously until spent or expired.(7-1-25)
h.Standards should not be used beyond the expiration date.(7-1-25)
i.If Section 18-8004C, Idaho Code, is applicable, a zero point two zero (0.20) performance verification must be run and documented once per calendar month. Failure to perform this will not invalidate any tests where Section 18-8004C, Idaho Code, is not applicable. A zero point two zero (0.20) performance verification does not need to be performed within twenty-four (24) hours of a breath test in excess of zero point two zero (0.20) g/ 210L alcohol.(7-1-25)
j.Wet bath simulator temperature shall be between thirty-three point five degrees Celsius (33.5°C) and thirty-four point five degrees Celsius (34.5°C) for valid results.(7-1-25)

09.Minor in Possession or Minor in Consumption (MIP/MIC). Presence or absence of alcohol determines the evidence in MIP/MIC cases. The instrumentation used in obtaining the breath sample is often the same instrumentation utilized for acquiring DUI evidence. The different standard of evidence requires different standards for the procedure. The administration of a MIP/MIC breath test should follow Subsection 014.03 with the following exceptions:(7-1-25)
a.A fifteen (15) minute monitoring period is required before retesting if mouth alcohol is suspected.
b.The instrument used must be initially certified by ISPFS. The instrument does not need to be checked regularly or periodically with any of the zero point zero eight (0.08) or zero point two zero (0.20) standard.
c.The officer should have the individual being tested remove all loose foreign material from their mouth before testing. False teeth, partial plates, or bridges installed or prescribed by a dentist or physician do not need to be removed to obtain a valid test. The officer may allow the individual to briefly rinse their mouth out with water prior to the breath testing.(7-1-25)
d.A complete breath alcohol test includes two (2) valid breath samples preceded by an air blank taken at least two (2) minutes apart. A deficient or insufficient sample does not automatically invalidate a test sample. The operator should use a new mouthpiece for each individual.(7-1-25)
e.The operator should document results and/or retain printouts for possible use in court.(7-1-25)
f.The instrument must not be in passive mode for an evidentiary subject but should only be used for testing liquids for the presence of alcohol.(7-1-25)

I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all and will behave in a manner that does not bring discredit to me or my agency. I will maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; develop self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official life, I will be exemplary in obeying the law and the regulations of my department.
Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret, unless revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty.
I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, political beliefs, aspirations, animosities or friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and the relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities.
I recognize the badge or position of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of law enforcement/public service. I will never engage in acts of corruption or bribery, nor will I condone such acts by other law enforcement or emergency communications officers. I will cooperate with all legally authorized agencies and their representatives in the pursuit of justice.
I know that I alone am responsible for my own standard of professional performance and will take every reasonable opportunity to enhance and improve my level of knowledge and competence.
