The Lion AlcoBlow® offer a non-invasive, easy and low-cost way to conduct rapid pass/fail screening. The AlcoBlow standard device suits users who are looking for additional LOW or HIGH alcohol readings and is invaluable in alcohol control programs, such as industry, prisons, and education establishments.
Instrument Features Simple to use: AlcoBlow has just two control buttons. This means it’s very simple to use, so training requirements are minimal.
Fast, accurate analysis: using the Lion fuel cell sensor. This ensures high specificity to alcohol, and a long, stable working life.
Easy to read display: the subject’s alcohol level is shown on a single LED.
No mouthpieces: unlike conventional breath alcohol instruments, AlcoBlow makes no physical contact with the subject. This means there are no disposable mouthpieces, so the cost per test is very low.
Dual-mode operation: AlcoBlow has two possible modes of operation. Depending on the situation of the breath test. Active: the subject blows into the cone: a sample of breath is then taken automatically for analysis. Passive: the operator presses a button to draw breath from in front of the subject’s face, but otherwise without his or her co-operation.
