The Intoxilyzer 5000 has many more limitations, that’s the word used in the breath testing program in the state of Georgia. Limitations mean that it is exposed to problems that would not be encountered if you were drawing blood. Let's just say you have dentures and use an adhesive to put them in which is porous. That material when you've been drinking wine or any other type of alcohol can hold alcohol according to some tests done in the state of Wisconsin for an hour or more and get positive readings.

It could skew the reading enough to get you in trouble with a reading above the legal limit. If you have dentures or if you have pockets from where you had your wisdom teeth pulled or any type of opening that alcohol can sit in and cause problems. If this is the case, you need to let your attorney know. That’s one of the ways that the machine is limited and one of the ways that it could give false readings. Getting a full health profile on you is important and that's what we do in every case with every client.
