Alco blow is the most effective way to gauge whether a person has consumed alcohol. Alco blow is a non-quantitative alcohol screener that provides fast and accurate results in zero-tolerance situations. it indicates a low or high concentration of alcohol. It’s simple to use and gives a rapid response to whether a person has any alcohol in their breath at all. Its mostly used by police and other uniformed services
Alcoblow Breathalyser Features
- Immediate results
- Accurate fuel cell sensor to alcohol. Full-cell sensors are considered to be more accurate than semi-conductor sensors. The full-cell sensors have a large surface area for the alcohol particles to hit, consequently detecting a larger electrical current. The larger the sensor the more accurate the results.
- Used in active or passive modes to fit any testing situations. The active mode is whereby the subject participates by blowing into the cone of the instrument where a sample of breath is collected for analysis while in the passive mode, the operator places the cone in a space of air where alcohol may be present. The passive mode makes it easier to sample a participant who is not cooperating.
- No mouthpiece is needed on the breather. This helps curb the spreading of diseases among the participants and hygiene is upheld.
- An advanced electrochemical sensor that is very sensitive to give accurate results
- Extended battery life up to 5000 tests. This saves on the hustle of recharging it now and then when carrying out the activity. They can test a lot of people in mass events and do it comfortably without the worry of battery exhaustion.
- No calibration adjustments are needed or regular calibration checks. The operator obtains the participant’s results and compares them to the original unit measurement pattern. The calibration ensures that the sensor is adjusted to the breathalyzer software to measure the value of alcohol in the exhaled air accurately. This Alco blow does not need regular calibration making it perfect to carry out alcohol testing.
- Quick Alco blow recovery time making it faster to test several people within a short time. this saves the operators and participants time while carrying out the activity. This makes this instrument effective and time conscious.
How does Alco blow work;
The subject simply bows into the cone of the unit where a sample breath is collected for analysis.
This Alco blow can be used in various testing situations like
- Drivers at traffic roadblocks
- Workplace and companies
- Testing students during events
- Work release program participants
Importance of Alco blow
- It reduces the number of traffic accidents brought about by driving under the influence of alcohol
- It detects the alcohol levels of the participant without coming into contact with them.
- Very quick measurements make it easier to test a large group of people.
- Curb drunk driving on the roads.
