The most obvious reason would be that someone who has had the surgery has a higher blood-alcohol level because e.g. the alcohol gets into their blood more quickly, or a given amount of alcohol produces a higher concentration than the same amount given in identical circumstances, than is the case for someone who hasn't had the op
That's a 'defect 'in the body of the drinker who has had the op, not in the machine. The reading would be correct and that's what matters.
