Introduction

Only "Subject" accounts can fully use the mobile app and upload the alcohol samples to the iBac server.

The iBac is the breathalyzer and physical device that connects to a smartphone or tablet over Bluetooth. Different versions of the iBac circulate the market why the mobile applications need to be compatible with all of them. To be able to use the iBac, it needs to be registered in the system for an organization.
