Thanks for visiting Blood Alcohol Breathalyzer, our brand new site dedicated
to breathalyzer reviews.
There are many models of personal blood alcohol breathalyzers on the market.
These portable consumer devices are far cheaper than those used by police
forces. Most retail consumer breath alcohol detectors use semiconductor-based
sensing technology, which is less expensive, less accurate and less reliable
than law enforcement's fuel cell and infrared units. Semiconductor devices
are good at sensing the presence of breath alcohol, but they do not always
provide reliable measurements of blood alcohol content (BAC). Semiconductor
blood alcohol breathalyzers are also more prone to false positives - they
can occasionally signal alcohol even when none is present. Recently, manufacturers
have begun to introduce consumer breath alcohol detectors that use the same
platinum fuel cell technology as used by law enforcement. These are capable
of delivering highly accurate measurements. Fuel cell breathalyzers are
considerably more expensive than semiconductor models.
All blood alcohol breathalyzers sold in the U.S. must be certified by the
Food and Drug Administration. In order to pass, a device must be safe and
effective as a screener. This means it must be able to detect the presence
of alcohol in the breath. Screener certification does not mean the breathalyzer
can measure breath alcohol content accurately. Many breathalyzers cleared
by the FDA are very inaccurate when it comes to BAC measurement.
On this site you'll find exclusive blood alcohol breathalyzer reviews and
all the latest news on BAC testers. We'll let you know which are accurate
breathalyzers and which should be avoided.
Enjoy the site!
