BreathScan tests are disposable, compact chemical tests that provide reliable and accurate detection of alcohol from a breath sample. The ease of use and low cost of BreathScan tests make them ideal screening tool options for determining sobriety. This single use product is a safeguard that staves off contamination that is seen with unsanitary mouthpieces. That makes it a great and effective tool for use in the Armed Forces, police check points, schools, employee screenings and prison populations. This unit can detect alcohol via a specific chemical reaction that produces a color change. To perform the test, just break the ampoule that holds the crystals and have the subject blow into the unit. Alcohol is present in the breath sample if the BreathScan crystals change color.
To cover a broad range of testing specifications and requirements, the BreathScan alcohol test is available in four different models. The .02% tester is the most sensitive chemical test and detects even the minutest trace of alcohol in the breath. This test is perfect for enforcing strict compliance to no-alcohol policies, such as with airline pilots, operators of heavy equipment, railway employees and other jobs where drinking on the job can have deadly consequences. Criminal statutes that define intoxication levels vary from state to state and country to country. For these differing DUI laws, we also manufacture and sell .04%, .05%, and .08% tests.
The BreathScan test is reliant upon a very sensitive reaction that occurs chemically between the ampoule’s in the unit’s crystals and the ethanol molecules that are found in the breath of the test subject. The result of this reaction is a distinct change in color in the crystals. This provides a fast method for assessing the level of alcohol that is present in the subject’s system. These crystals are insensitive to other types of gases. This means that there are no false positive results with this accurate test.
FDA clearance for the BreathScan device has been received. The device is also approved by the Department of Transportation/NHTSA as a single-use disposable breath alcohol test. This test was shown to provide reliable and accurate measurement of human breath alcohol content. The chemical reaction that is used to provide results is very specific and does not result in false positive results.
