BreathScan®

The fast, easy and portable way to help detect* the presence of alcohol in an individual's breath.

  • 4 Steps to complete, 2 Minutes to obtain result
  • Single-Use, disposable device that's small enough to fit in your pocket
  • FDA 510(k) Cleared
 

Given the negative effect that alcohol can have on an individuals' health and safety, BreathScan®, can help prevent individuals who use alcohol improperly from causing undo harm to themselves and others.

The BreathScan® "Save-A-Buddy"TM Protocol is a countermeasure that many individuals and organizations, like branches of the US Military, have adopted.  This pro-active approach to responsible behavior seeks to encourage individuals to NEVER Drink and Drive AND "flag" others who are not adopting that safe approach.  Within this protocol, individuals who have not been drinking are instructed to do the following:

  •  Get the keys from your Buddy
  • Oversee the Buddy's use of the BreathScan test, then read the Buddy's test result.
  • If the result is positive, keep the keys and help ensure that a Buddy gets home safely... Because the BreathScan® 2-minute test can make a lifetime of difference
