ALCOSCAN

Personal Breath Alcohol Tester
ALCOSCAN is an easy-to-use passive breath alcohol tester with a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor. It does not require a mouthpiece or active user participation. It is able to “sniff” the environment for the presence of alcohol.

Applications
Alcoscan can be used with or with¬out active participation from the test subject. For active use, have the test subject exhale into the inlet. For passive testing, simply hold the Alcoscan in the ambient environment, such as the inte¬rior of an automobile or over a beverage that potentially contains alcohol.
The flexibility of Alcoscan makes it per¬fect for schools, hospitals and industrial safety applications.

Features
One Button Operation

Whether you operate the Alcoscan with one hand, with gloves or in dark environments, you will appreciate the easy one-button operation.
Electrochemical Sensor
The latest sensing technology from Alcohol Countermeasure Systems guar¬antees reliable and repeatable results. The Alcoscan uses a redesigned electrochemical sensor (fuel cell) that is very resilient to drift and requires significantly less calibration than other alcohol sensing technologies.

LED Display
The Alcoscan uses a simple Green-Amber-Red display and the actual BAC values to indicate the alcohol lev¬els. This design ensures fewer errors and eliminates the need to convert values in alternate units of measurement.
Green
• Zero or insignificant alcohol detected (0.00 to 0.019 %BAC)
Amber
• Alcohol detected in the 0.02 to 0.05 %BAC range
Red
• Alcohol detected in the 0.05 %BAC or higher range
