Digital
Alcohol
Breath Analyzer

The
AlcoHawk™ ABI Professional model is a U.S. DOT/NHTSA approved
professional-grade alcohol breath analyzer which utilizes a
state-of-the-art semiconductor oxide sensor to test breath alcohol
content quickly and accurately. The simple one-button operation
provides an accurate digital readout of equivalent blood alcohol
content (BAC) in seconds. At just a fraction of the cost of other
DOT approved electronic units, this model is one the most widely
used professional and personal evidentiary alcohol breath analyzers
currently available. The new ABI Professional/AlcoHawk™ version of the
original CA-2000 model incorporates newly upgraded internal
software and a highly sensitive, efficient microchip to meet
rigid DOT accuracy requirements.
A compact "Shirt
Pocket" unit
providing fast, quantitative conversion of breath alcohol content to
equivalent percentage blood alcohol content
with easy, user friendly visual and audio
prompts, large digital display. and
totally automated re-calibration and

PRINCIPLE
 |
The new AlcoHawk™
ABI Professional model digital breath analyzer incorporates the latest
MEMS* technology in gas sensor microchips. This "smart" sensor is
highly effective in discriminating oxide electrons specific to alcohol and
minimizing the impact of other gas components that may be present in the
breath or surrounding air. |
*MEMS is the abbreviation for
Microelectro-Mechanical Systems, a technology developed at the University of
California at Berkley that employs miniscule silicon sensors or "motes"
a.k.a. "Smart Dust". Smart Dust, as the name
implies, is the equivalent of coating a receptor microchip with micro fine
powder consisting of millions of individual smart sensor motes. The use of
MEMS, or smart dust, exponentially increases the sensitivity and detection
effectiveness of the receptor microchip in identifying and quantifying
targeted molecules (hydrocarbons in the case of alcohol breath analyzers). |

The AlcoHawk™ ABI premium digital alcohol
breath analyzer is
an accurate,
compact, highly sensitive, affordable scientific
breath analysis instrument,
with automated visual and audio test indicators employing
the most advanced integrated
gas sensor microchip for rapid determination of breath
alcohol content and virtually instantaneous conversion to equivalent blood alcohol content within a range of
0.00% to
0.40% BAC (.08% is
considered legally intoxicated in most states, 0.40% is considered fatal). The
unit has been tested by the DOT for conformity to their accuracy specifications
and added as an approved alcohol detection device to their CPL (Conforming
Products List). DOT Documentation. Test
results are accurately converted and shown on a large digital display
instantaneously after breath sampling. Easy and convenient to use,
this ABI Professional Premium model
incorporates many user friendly features not generally available
at this cost range. Additionally the AlcoHawk™
ABI Professional is
ideally suited for zero tolerance alcohol testing programs where even the
smallest amount of system alcohol can be detected. Specifications and features
of the AlcoHawk™ ABI Professional Premium model follows:

TESTING
PROCEDURE:
For optimal accuracy, users
are advised to wait at least 15-20 minutes after consuming alcohol and 5 minutes
after smoking before testing See
Technology and Accuracy. As with all alcohol breath
analyzers, the sensitive gas sensor microchip is compromised by the presence of
smoke (especially tobacco smoke). Components of tobacco smoke can effect the
accuracy of BAC readings by interfering with the sensor's detection of breath
alcohol content. Obviously it is also recommended to use the alcohol detector in
a smoke free environment. Also, the waiting period after alcohol consumption is necessary for residual alcohol molecules
in the mouth and stomach to be
absorbed completely into the system preventing the possibility of a high false positive reading.
For additional information on technology method and specificity expectation see
Technology and Accuracy.
• Place the mouthpiece on the sampling port.
• Because the test procedure is fully automated, the unit
is activated by simply pressing the "ON" button and following the visual and
audio prompts.
• The
AlcoHawk™
ABI Professional
will automatically begin a self test and sensor calibration routine. The digital
display will show this process with a digital count down from 200 to zero
(approximately 20 seconds). A green LED will then flash with an audio beep to signal the unit is ready for sample analysis.
• Blow steadily and continuously into the
mouthpiece. The ABI Professional will automatically measure the breath sample and sound a
second audio beep signal when sampling is complete.
• In 1 second or less the test result will be displayed digitally in the display
panel and a red LED will flash with audible warning signal when test results are
.05% BAC or above.

Using the AlcoHawk™ ABI Professional Premium Alcohol
Breath Analyzer is an economical and accurate way to avoid the many
risks associated with alcohol consumption. These risks are well publicized
and can lead to life threatening consequences not only for
the intoxicated individual but also for other persons potentially
affected by their
condition.
When used as a monitor, the
AlcoHawk™
can indicate when equivalent blood alcohol percentages are below or above
state legal limits during any given session, helping to
prevent potential arrest or worse, reckless endangerment of others. With the
exception of replacement of the batteries and routine
cleaning of the mouthpieces, the
AlcoHawk™
ABI Professional should provide accurate readings
indefinitely as long as the gas sensor is not
damaged or compromised by ambient environmental or
respiratory smoke.
