What is a Breath Tester

16 November, 2021

A breath tester, also known as a breathalyzer, monitors blood alcohol content (BAC) and is an important device; especially for police officers and medical professionals. They mainly use breathalyzers to help them to maintain road safety and provide appropriate medicine applications. The breathalyzer can measure the BAC of an individual by calculating the amount of alcohol present in their exhaled breath after blowing into its sterile tube. The BAC shown by the device determines the drunkenness of the individual; as well as the kinds of impairments they are most likely to present. The higher the BAC, the more likely impaired one’s motor functions and awareness are. Nowadays, though, people now can own their breathalyzers and use them to perform self BAC testing. It is to help improve one’s safety and prevent DUI charges.  

When looking to buy a personal alcohol breath tester, one should take note of the kind of features a reliable device should have. The technology found in BACtrack devices, such as the fuel cell sensor, is the exact kind of technology in a police officer’s or medical professional’s breathalyzer. It ensures that even self-testing with personal devices may still present with accurate and professional-grade results. Besides having good reliability, BACtrack devices also come with a One-Touch operation system, which allows its users to perform self-testing producers optimally and effortlessly with just a press of a button. With easy-to-use machines like BACtrack breathalyzers, you can negate the need for formal and intense training to use screening devices.

One should also consider the kind of breath tester available. BACtrack breathalyzers, for example, come with different types of shapes, features, and options. Some BACtrack devices come in a compact and small form, small enough as a key chain. It reduces the likelihood of the breathalyzer getting left behind, especially by someone leaving in a rush. Always having a breathalyzer is beneficial, especially to those who occasionally make last-minute plans to drink. BACtrack devices may also connect wirelessly to IOS, Android, and Google phones via Bluetooth, allowing more detailed information within the app. Information like when and how long until one’s BAC would return to 0.00%; this is especially useful to drivers under 20 years old, who has a requirement to maintain a BAC reading of 0.00%.  

The advantages of owning a personal breath tester greatly outweigh the disadvantages and costs it may have. It can drastically affect one’s safety and prevent users from ever acquiring DUI charges and the severe penalties it can come with, making this a worthwhile investment.
