Q.E.D.®
Saliva Alcohol Test
DOT Approved for evidentiary alcohol testing

A Quantitative
test device for the
rapid determination of Equivalent Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Using a
non-invasive saliva sample. Approved by the Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) for
commercial alcohol testing programs,
the Q.E.D. test also meets USCG standards for on board maritime
regulations. The QED saliva test uses a unique patented lateral flow method to rapidly determine
alcohol presence in saliva expressed as % BAC and ml/dl concentration.
Test result interpretation is as simple as reading a
thermometer. |

The Q.E.D.®
Saliva Alcohol test is a technological breakthrough that can be used as an accurate,
quantitative measurement device for obtaining blood alcohol levels using a saliva sample.
The test can reliably be used in place of blood, urine, or breath testing methods which
require expensive equipment and operator training. Through a preset chemical reactive
process that requires no user intervention, a color bar rises to the level of alcohol
present in the system in much the same way as a mercury thermometer. In extensive clinical
trials, saliva alcohol levels measured by the Q.E.D.® Saliva Alcohol test demonstrated a
high correlation rate of 98% (r=0.98) to blood analyzed by sophisticated laboratory gas
chromatography methods. Frequently

TEST PROCEDURE
The Q.E.D.® Saliva Alcohol Test is an easy to use diagnostic procedure with everything required contained in a sealed foil package. Total time required for the test is between 3 and 5 minutes. The three basic steps are as
follows:
 |
 |
 |
1.
Using the cotton swab included, actively swab around the cheeks, gums,
and tongue for 30-60 seconds or until the cotton swab is completely
saturated with saliva. |
2. Place the test device on a flat surface. Gently twist the swab with the collected saliva sample into the entry port and apply steady pressure to activate the capillary action until the pink fluid passes the QA Spot located at the top of the test
device. |
3.
Read the test results. Allow the test device to develop for two minutes. A distinct purple bar will form within the marked scale region. The highest point of the purple bar represents the level of Alcohol expressed as either a percentage (.0x%) or milligrams (ml/dL)
concentration. |
The Q.E.D.® Saliva Alcohol Test will accurately measure a range of blood alcohol concentration of 0-145mg/dL or 0.0%-0.145%
equivalent BAC, the top range being almost twice that of the legal limit of 0.08%
BAC.
