Select a breathalyser or alcohol comsumption calculator that has been registered or certified with one or more of the following recognised government bodies such as Australian Standards, Department of Transportation (DOT), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSA) or Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in USA. By using an alcohol responder, an As3547 certified breathalyser, or any portable tester, you are assured of their quality and that the product will deliver accurate BAC (blood alcohol concentration) readings. Re-calibration of the personal breathalyser as well as replacement of its sensor are very important for the approved breathalyser performance and accurate readings.
There are three types of alcohol responder technologies to measure BAC.
1. Oxide Semiconductor Sensor Standard Model - eg. AL2500 & AlcoSense Elite
Cheapest breathalyser test. Accuracy to +/- 0.01. Ideal for a Gift or Promotional item.
2. Oxide Semiconductor Sensor Professional Model - AL6000Pro
Australian Standards approved device to test deep-lung air samples with sensor replacement after every 400-500 uses. Proper calibration and maintenance can make the breathalyser last long time. It can be used by drivers, medical industry, schools or as a personal device.
3. Fuel Cell Sensor Model - AlcoSense Precision Breathalyser
The best sensor in the breathalysers that gives accurate BAC readings up to three decimal points with long life time sensor. Should be calibrated every 12 months. These breathalysers are designed to test hundreds of uses a day. They can be used by police officers, as well as medical, transport, avio and mining industries. Also for pubs, hotels and restaurants where there is a need for a reliable accurate breathalyser.
