Steele (1977), 52 Ohio St.2d 187 . {¶ 19} Appellant submits, and the State concedes, that the Department of Health Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Testing BAC Datamaster machine's training manual allows for a margin of error of no more than .003 on the second air blank test. {¶ 20} The State argues that absolute compliance with such regulation is not required for such results to be deemed admissible.

2003III {¶ 20} Whitaker's Second Assignment of Error is as follows: {¶ 21} "The trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to suppress the breath test as defendant was not given his miranda rights prior to the breath test." {¶ 22} Whitaker claims that Stitzel's failure to advise him of his rights, in accordance with Miranda v.
