AlcoSafe is a Personal Alcohol Breath Tester that tells you how much alcohol you have in your blood.
It's unique compact design, battery operated 2 digit LED display, with folding mouth piece, is small enough to fit inside a purse, pocket or onto your key chain.
The Alcosafe Breath Tester has been designed for measuring an individuals Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) at one point in time.
Ethyl alcohol is detectable in the breath because it is absorbed from the mouth, throat, stomach and into the bloodstream. Blood flows through the lungs and some of the alcohol passes across the membranes of the tiny air sacs (alveori) and is exhaled as air. The concentration of the alcohol in the alveolar air is proportional to the alcohol contained in the blood. This is recorded as a percentage of breath alcohol concentration (BAC).
The Alcosafe will display readings on a 2 digit LED display with a range of .00 - .12% BAC
In performing a breath alcohol test, it is necessary to analyse the alveolar (deep lung air sample). The AlcoSafe tester incorporates the latest electronic pressure transducer, so as to record samples which deliver at least 1.5 Litres with a continuous exhale for 5 seconds. This is important to eliminate short exhaled samples, which can affect the accuracy of the readings.
The intoxication level will vary by each individual, and depends upon many factors ; such as the concentration level of alcohol consumed, the contents of the stomach, your weight and gender . Alcohol will continue to enter the blood stream well after your last drink, so it’s important to re-test even after 2 hours from your last drink .
