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 .0 0 % 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).

Test results are accurately converted and shown on a large digital display instantaneously after breath sampling . Easy and convenient to use, this ABI Premium model incorporates many user friendly features not generally available at this cost range . Additionally the AlcoHawkT ABI is ideally suited for zero tolerance alcohol testing programs where even the smallest amount of system alcohol can be detected.

The new AlcoHawk ABI 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).

Using the AlcoHawk ABI 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 should provide accurate readings indefinitely as long as the gas sensor is not damaged or compromised by ambient environmental or respiratory smoke.

Each AlcoHawk ABI Premium Digital Breath Analyzer comes boxed in a custom hard shell storage/carry case with zippered cover. Included with each unit are a Duracell 9V battery, 12V power adapter, four non-disposable mouthpiece pack, carry strap, and comprehensive user manuals. Available separately are additional mouthpieces sold in packs of four or fifty and additional 12V auto power cord adapters. The AlcoHawkT ABI is DOT approved for onsite DUI/DWI testing by law enforcement and professional testing facilities nationwide.
