Method — determining sample identifiers to be allocated to body samples

Schedule 5 Method — determining sample identifiers to be allocated to body samples

1 Method

The method for determining sample identifiers to be allocated to body samples that approved testers take under Subpart 99.C of CASR 1998 and send for confirmatory drug tests, is specified in this Schedule.

Provision of sample identification numbers by approving authority

2 Provision of sample identification numbers by approving authority

CASA, or a person authorised in writing by CASA (the approving authority), must, from time to time, approve a group of sequences of sample identification numbers for each approved tester to use in accordance with this Schedule.

Provision of further sample identification numbers by approving authority

3 Provision of further sample identification numbers by approving authority

The approving authority must ensure that sufficient approved groups of sequences of sample identification numbers are available to ensure that each approved tester is assigned sufficient numbers to enable the approved tester to allocate a number to a body sample in accordance with clause 5 or 6.

Assignment of sample identification numbers to approved testers

4 Assignment of sample identification numbers to approved testers

(1)The approving authority must, from time to time, assign to an approved tester sample identification numbers from the group of sequences approved and in the order in which they were so approved.

(2)The approving authority must assign sufficient numbers to enable the approved tester to cover the number of confirmatory tests that may arise from the volume of initial drug tests anticipated to be undertaken by the approved tester during a period agreed between the approving authority and the approved tester.

(3)No sequence of numbers assigned by an approving authority to an approved tester may later be assigned by the approving authority to any other approved tester.

(4)The approving authority must maintain a record of each sequence of numbers assigned by it, and of the approved tester to whom it is assigned, and make that record available to CASA on request.

Allocation of sample identification numbers by approved tester

5 Allocation of sample identification numbers by approved tester

(1)When an approved tester conducts an initial drug test for which a positive result is recorded, the approved tester is to allocate to the body sample that is to be sent for a confirmatory drug test a sample identification number chosen from, and in the order in which it appears in, a sequence of numbers assigned by the approving authority to the approved tester.

(2)The approved tester is to add to the number so allocated the date of birth of the donor of the sample, expressed in the form “dd/mm/yy”, where “dd’ is a 2-digit designation of the day, “mm” is a 2-digit designation of the month, and “yy” is a 2-digit designation of the year.

(3)The combination of the allocated sample identification number and the donor’s date of birth constitutes the sample identifier mentioned in Subpart 99.C of CASR 1998.

(4)Except for the purposes of clause 6, an approved tester is not to allocate the same sample identification number to more than 1 body sample.

Allocation of sample identification numbers to Sample A and Sample B

6 Allocation of sample identification numbers to Sample A and Sample B

(1)When a body sample is divided by an approved tester into a Sample A and a Sample B, the same sample identification number is to be allocated to each of Sample A and Sample B when the samples are placed into separate specimen tubes.

(2)The allocated sample identification number (together with the donor’s date of birth) is to be placed on each such tube. The approved tester must ensure that 1 such tube is marked “Sample A” and the second such tube is marked “Sample B”.

Return of unused sample identification numbers

7 Return of unused sample identification numbers

(1)When the approval of a person as an approved tester expires or is otherwise terminated, any sample identification numbers assigned to the tester and not allocated in accordance with clause 5 or 6 is to be returned to the approving authority that assigned them to the tester.

(2)The approving authority must note the return of assigned numbers in the record mentioned in subclause 4 (4).

Procedures for taking body samples for alcohol testing

Schedule 6 Procedures for taking body samples for alcohol testing

1 Procedures

The procedures for an approved tester to take body samples for alcohol testing using an approved breathalyser mentioned in an item in Table 1 are set out in the same item.

TABLE 1

Item	Alcohol test	Procedures
1	For the conduct of an initial alcohol test on a person using the Lion Alcometer SD400 (in this item, the device)	Taking body samples:The approved tester must first ask the donor if he or she has consumed anything containing alcohol in the preceding 10 minutes.If the donor advises that he or she has consumed something containing alcohol in the preceding 10 minutes, the approved tester must request the donor not consume anything further (except water) until the testing, including confirmatory testing if necessary, is completed. The approved tester must inform the donor that if he or she consumes anything further (except water) until the testing, including confirmatory testing if necessary, is completed, it may be considered that he or she has refused, or failed to give a body sample.If the donor has advised the approved tester that he or she has consumed something containing alcohol in the preceding 10 minutes, the approved tester must wait until at least 10 minutes have elapsed since the tester first asked the donor if he or she had consumed anything containing alcohol.Having turned on the device by pressing the large button marked “I-O”, the approved tester must then ensure that the device has completed the self-check (RED light) and that the GREEN “ready” light is illuminated.The approved tester must then attach an approved mouthpiece to the device, ensuring that he or she does not touch the lipped end and that the protective cellophane packaging remains in place until the donor removes it.Provided that the donor has not consumed anything containing alcohol in the preceding 10 minutes, the approved tester must then ask the donor to remove the protective cellophane packaging and provide a sample of the donor’s breath. The donor must be asked to take a deep breath, hold it, and then place the lipped end of the mouthpiece in his or her mouth, sealing their lips around it. The donor must then be asked to blow steadily and continuously until requested to stop blowing by the approved tester.As the donor commences to provide a sample, the YELLOW flow light will be illuminated. A sufficient sample is necessary for the sample to be analysed. On the provision of a sufficient sample, the AMBER analysis light will be illuminated, and 2 beeps will sound. At this time, the donor is to be requested to stop blowing.On the completion of the analysis of the sample, indicated by the AMBER analysis light ceasing to be illuminated, a reading will appear on the display screen of either NEGATIVE or POSITIVE.
2	For the conduct of a confirmatory test on a further body sample of the person using the Drager Alcotest 9510 Aus (in this item, the unit)	Taking body samples:The approved tester must take a further breath sample for a confirmatory alcohol test as soon as practicable, but not sooner than 15 minutes from the time that the initial alcohol test sample was taken.If the approved tester has reason to believe that the donor may have consumed something containing alcohol since giving the initial sample, the tester must wait until at least 10 minutes have elapsed since the tester formed that view. The approved tester must then proceed to take a further breath test.When taking the breath sample, the approved tester must ensure that the following procedure is followed:the unit must be connected to the appropriate power supply, depending on whether the unit is being used from 240V mains power or 12V DC powerthe power switch must be pressed to on if using 240V mains power supplyan external keyboard may be connected through the USB ports, if desireda printer test must be performed and the printer paper must be changed, if required• the unit must be allowed to warm up (this is initiated by switching the unit on and can take up to 10 minutes)Note During the warm up period the device will conduct a series of internal system checks, after all tests have been conducted and the complete system is verified, the device will begin to warm up and indicate on the screen “WARMING UP”• the unit must be set at the correct time and date of the location at which the test is occurring• following the warm up, the unit is ready to perform a breath measurement by indicating “READY” on the screen — the green button under the front screen on the unit must then be pressed• the personal details of the donor (surname, given names, date of birth), location and the approved tester performing the test must be entered into the unit• the “Save” button must be pressed to initialise testing; the unit will then automatically go through an internal diagnostic check• when the internal diagnostic check is completed, the unit will display “PLEASE BLOW” on the screen• a new mouthpiece must be attached to the breath hose• the donor must be asked to remove the protective cellophane packaging from the mouthpiece• the donor must be instructed to place the end of the mouth piece into the donor’s mouth and to seal their lips around it when blowing• the donor must be asked to inhale calmly and then blow evenly and continuously through the mouth piece for as long as possible• when a sufficient volume of breath sample is achieved, the frame around the bottom bar graph becomes bold to indicate that the sample has been collected; the procedure under A. below must then be followedif the breath flow falls below the minimum flow at any time during the breath sample delivery, the display will indicate “STOP BLOWING” and the delivery of the breath sample must be stopped immediately so as to avoid the donor attempting to reblow; the procedure under B. below must then be followed.A. Sufficient volume of breath given:the mouthpiece must be removed when the unit indicates to do sothe unit will conduct more internal diagnostic checks, complete the sample analysis and display, under a heading “Subject’s Result”, the result of the test on the device screen2 copies of the result will be printed by the unitif the unit detects alcohol in the mouth of the donor, the unit will display “ALCOHOL IN MOUTH”. The approved tester must wait a further 10 minutes and then repeat the process above to take a breath sample. The approved tester may warn the donor not to further consume alcohol and may refer to offences for failing to provide a body sample or interfering with a samplethe approved tester must allow at least 3 attempts to provide a testable body sample but may discontinue the test if the donor fails to provide an adequate sample after 3 attempts. If the test is discontinued without a valid result, the donor must be advised they can no longer perform SSAA until notified to the contrary by CASA.Note CASA will consider and advise the donor of the legal implications of the failure to provide a sample.B. Sufficient volume of breath not given:the donor must be informed that a repeat test is necessaryremove the mouthpiece when the unit indicates to do so on its screen — the unit will then automatically perform an internal diagnostic checkeach step to be taken by the approved tester and the donor after the previous internal diagnostic check must be repeatedNote Unit will conduct 3 unsuccessful tests before cancelling the entire testing and returning to the ready screen. Each unsuccessful attempt is recorded on the certificate with “TEST DISCONTINUED” printed at the bottom of the certificate.the approved tester must allow at least 3 attempts to provide a testable body sample but may discontinue the test if the donor fails to provide an adequate sample after 3 attempts. If the test is discontinued without a valid result, the donor must be advised they can no longer perform SSAA until notified to the contrary by CASA.Note CASA will consider and advise the donor of the legal implications of the failure to provide a sample.
