1. Which breathalyzer is right for me?

The Police Force, Health Care Professionals, Military, and other Public disciplinary groups should consider the AlcoTector as the breathalyzer for them.  This is the most accurate of all breathalyzers, and requires no calibration.

For personal/private use, the AlcoHawk Precision, digital breathalyzer, is recommended for its reliability and accuracy. For workplace screening or other uses in a professional setting, we recommend the AlcoHawk PRO, AL5000 or the AL6000. Although the AlcoScan AL2500 is very convenient and easy to use, please keep in mind that these devices are meant for simple testing, and the lack of a mouthpiece can affect test results. We DO NOT recommend this product

2. What is the BAC (blood alcohol concentration) limit for driving?

The legal limit for BAC while driving varies from state to state across the US, but most states use DUI / DWI limits of 0.08% to 0.10%.

3. Can I drive if my BAC is less than 0.08%?

No, we do not recommend driving with any intake of alcohol. There is no "safe" level of drinking before driving.

4. What is calibration/recalibration? Do I need it?

Calibration of breathalyzers involves the manual setting of specific, known laboratory BAC samples against the readings
recognized by the device. All breathalyzers require initial calibration and periodic recalibration in order to prevent inaccurate readings as alcohol and other breath contaminants saturate the sensor after prolonged use. The AlcoTector Breathalyzer DOES NOT require a re-calibration, simply change the batteries every 500 tests.

5. What type of alcohol sensor is used by the AlcoTector Breathalyzer?

The AlcoTector use state-of-the-art electrochemical fuel cell to measure the concentration of alcohol from the sample of expired breath from a human subject. If alcohol is present, a corresponding voltage is generated from the fuel cell, which is proportional to the alcohol content of the sample provided by the human subject. This voltage is sent to the CPU and converted to a subjects BAC which is then displayed on the LED 4-digit display of the AlcoTector.

6. Cleanup / Maintenance

In order to extend the life of your breathalyzer, we recommend the following steps after each breath test:

• Turn off power.
• Blow fresh air into your device. (If possible, you should inhale fresh air into the device rather than using your breath. If you use your breath, make sure there are no contaminants such as food, drink or smoke.)
