Dwi probation violation

I received a warn message on the interlock device from smart start. Is this a probation violation? The only alcohol I found that I used was in the face moisturizer I put on right before I blew into the device.

What did they say when you contacted them with your question?

Every state is different and if you call customer service at Smart Start you will be talking with someone who has to deal with 50 different states. In principle they can do this. In practice - hard to be sure.

Your best chance of getting the right answer is probably by talking to someone at your local Smart Start monitoring place - somebody who has been in this business for a couple of years.

Forgot to add this. Smart Start will allow you to add a comment to 'your file'. It gets added to your current monthly/bi-monthly device report. You can do this online (this is one thing that customer service should most certainly be able to help you with) and I don't see how it could hurt to add an explanation.

Also SmartStart sells a companion test device. It is a little over $100 and would almost certainly have 'found' the face moisturizer problem (if that is what it was).
