Despite
its micro size, the Alcohol Breath Analyzer is a sensitive scientific instrument
employing computer semiconductor technology to convert breath alcohol content to
equivalent blood alcohol content (BAC) within seconds at five (5) progressive
key concentration levels denoted by an easily read, color coded LED display. The
Analyzer employs the recently developed and most advanced *MEMS
gas sensor which is alcohol specific eliminating the possible interference from
other environmental factors. Like all alcohol breath
analyzers, the sensor microchip is gas specific, meaning that smoke of any kind,
especially cigarette smoke, can adversely affect accurate readings.
Consequently, smokers should wait at least ten minutes prior to using the
Analyzer
*MEMS
is the abbreviation for Microelectro-Mechanical Systems, a technology developed
at the University of California at Berkley that employs miniscule silicon
sensors or "motes" a.k.a "Smart Dust". Smart Dust, as the
name implies, is the equivalent of coating a receptor microchip with micro fine
powder consisting of millions of individual smart sensor motes. The use of MEMS,
or smart dust, exponentially increases the sensitivity and detection
effectiveness of the receptor microchip in identifying and quantifying targeted
molecules (hydrocarbons in the case of alcohol breath analyzers). This increased
sensitivity and accuracy however can be more readily compromised by cigarette
smoke or other contaminates in the air. Therefore it is extremely important that
MEMS devices be used as free from ambient smoke as possible.

The unit is activated through a thumb switch. After a brief internal circuitry self test routine, the test subject blows through the mouthpiece and the results are converted and read within seconds based on which color LED lamp lights according to the chart shown.

The
Alcohol Breath Analyzer can be used repeatedly and is not disposable. The 1.5V
power source is easily replaced using a standard AAA
battery and the test unit computer circuitry carries a one year factory
warranty. The unit also incorporates a mini flashlight and static electricity
eliminator function. While simple and easy to use, the Alcohol Breath Analyzer
can help prevent the unfortunate and often life threatening consequences of
alcohol intoxication. Used as a monitor, the SAFE™ can indicate when
equivalent blood alcohol percentages are below or above state legal limits
preventing potential arrest or worse, reckless endangerment of others.
This test is recommended for "on the spot" testing whenever alcohol
consumption is planned or intoxication is suspected.
The Personal Alcohol Breath Analyzer is available for any circumstance or
application where a fast indication of alcohol consumption and amount is
desired.
