0.02% Breath Alcohol Test

The disposable FDA-approved CheckPoint Breath Alcohol Detector is a qualitative test available in 2 different blood alcohol levels: .02% (known as zero tolerance) to answer the question "Have you had anything to drink at all in the last 4 to 6 hours - yes or no?"; and .08% (the federal dui level mandated nation-wide) to determine if someone who has been drinking is legally safe to drive.

The CheckPoint Breath Alcohol Test in the .02% level is the ideal tool for adults who want to be sure that their teenagers have not been drinking. The .08% version is intended for use by adults to make sure that they are legally safe to drive.

The CheckPoint Breath Alcohol Test is a very easy test to use - just blow through the tube for 12 seconds. If the yellow crystals turn a light aqua (blue/green or green/blue) within 2 minutes, alcohol has been detected.

People frequently refer to charts that explain the relationship between the number of drinks consumed, the type of drinks consumed, and the time between each drink to determine their or others' level of intoxication. Now there is a more precise way to find out if someone is alcohol impaired. Our home alcohol test is affordable and portable, and a great aid to making decisions to do with alcohol consumption.

This CheckPoint Breath Alcohol Test has replaced the BreathScan .02 Breath Alcohol Test we carried previously. The BreathScan (I-BA-02) has been discontinued by the manufacturer, and this test is an excellent option for those who have relied on the BreathScan.

NOT A SELF TEST. HAVE SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT BEEN DRINKING HELP YOU TEST AND READ THE RESULTS. WAIT 15 MINUTES AFTER LAST ALCOHOLIC DRINK OR RINSE MOUTH WITH A GLASS OF WATER BEFORE TAKING THE TEST.

1. Squeeze middle of the detector between thumb and forefinger to break glass tube inside. Squeeze only once - do not crush or bend tube.

2. Immediately begin test once inner glass tube is broken. Subject should hold the Detector vertically so arrows on BLOW end are pointing down.

3. Have subject blow/exhale very hard into the tube in one continuous breathe for 12 seconds.

4. Shake Detector from side-to-side to distribute crystals evenly in Detector window.

5. Lay the Detector on a flat surface and wait 2 minutes.

Read results under incandescent or fluorescent light, or indirect sunlight.

If most of the crystals are a light aqua (green/blue or blue/green), the result is positive and the breath alcohol level is at or above the level printed on the Detector.

If most of the crystals are a light yellow, the result is negative and the breath alcohol is below the level printed on the Detector. The yellow does not have to match the unused Detector's yellow and may be much lighter or paler yellow than an unused Detector.

Compare the results to an unused Detector or to the yellow box printed on the Detector instructions.
