each ignition interlock device installed pursuant to chapter 291E, including

and distances the vehicle was driven.
(d) The [vendor] vendors selected
for installation and maintenance of ignition interlock devices pursuant to
chapter 291E shall be audited annually by the director of transportation
pursuant to this section and the rules adopted thereunder. The director of transportation may require
