Seven quantitative evidential breath-alcohol analyzers in three categories of analytical principle were tested for response to dynamically generated vapor acetone concentrations of 3, 100, 150, 350, and 600 micrograms/L and to alcohol-acetone vapor mixtures of 0.10 g alcohol/210 L and 350 or 600 micrograms acetone/L. No significant interference by acetone at any of these concentrations was found in four of the tested instruments. Two devices employing single wavelength infrared spectrometry displayed no unacceptable responses to acetone in concentrations to 350 micrograms/L, and one device employing solid-state (Taguchi) sensing was found to be significantly sensitive to acetone at the two highest tested concentrations. Except for the latter device, response to acetone of those instruments tested is not considered to be a significant problem in breath-alcohol analysis for traffic law enforcement or other purposes.
对七台三类分析原理的定量证据呼气酒精分析仪进行了测试，以检测它们对动态生成的浓度为3、100、150、350和600微克/升的丙酮蒸汽以及浓度为0.10克酒精/210升和350或600微克丙酮/升的酒精 - 丙酮蒸汽混合物的响应。在四台测试仪器中，未发现在任何这些浓度下丙酮有显著干扰。两台采用单波长红外光谱法的仪器对浓度达350微克/升的丙酮未显示出不可接受的响应，而一台采用固态（田口）传感的仪器在两个最高测试浓度下对丙酮显著敏感。除了后一种仪器外，对于交通执法或其他目的的呼气酒精分析而言，所测试的那些仪器对丙酮的响应不被认为是一个重大问题。
