RD-18 ALCO-METER

The Alco-meter / Alcohol Breath analyser is a unique and highly sophisticated alcohol breath-analyser. The Alcohol Breath analyser selectively analyse the alcohol concentration in units of PPM in human breath. The Alco-meter is very accurate and can be used as an aid to prevent drink driving, a morning-after alcohol screen, an on-site alcohol test for employees, an alcohol test for patients, an on-site incident test or a personal test for impairment.

An alco-meter, commonly known as an alcohol breath analyser, is an electronic device used to measure the concentration of alcohol in a person’s breath. It is widely used by traffic police, law enforcement agencies, industries, transportation companies, and security departments to detect alcohol consumption and prevent drunk driving or unsafe working conditions. The device estimates Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) by analyzing the amount of alcohol present in exhaled breath. Breath analysers are considered an effective and quick method for alcohol testing because they provide instant results without requiring blood samples.

Modern alcohol breath analysers use advanced sensor technologies such as semiconductor sensors, fuel cell sensors, or infrared spectroscopy for accurate detection. The user blows into the mouthpiece for a few seconds, and the device processes the sample to display the alcohol level digitally on the screen. Many advanced models include features like memory storage, printer connectivity, rechargeable batteries, voice prompts, GPS logging, and data transfer options. Professional-grade devices used by police departments are highly accurate and calibrated regularly to maintain reliability and compliance with legal standards.
