Wash your hands with soap and warm water, and dry them thoroughly. Warm water stimulates the flow of blood to the fingers. Hanging your arm down at your side for 10-15 seconds before the finger stick will also help. If you use alcohol to clean your finger, make sure it dries before pricking your finger. Choose a different spot on the side of a finger each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot can make your finger sore and callused.

Massachusetts Alcohol Legal Limit - Breath Test / Breathalyz...
No. The only way to get a true BAC is to take your blood and calculate the percentage of alcohol directly. The legal standard for impairment is based on Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), and is .08 ml BAC. Breath machines simply measure breath alcohol. In an average person, the ration of breath alcohol to blood alcohol is 2100 to 1. But these numbers have an assumption of legal equivalence. Even though, not everyone is average.
