On 7th December 2014 The Sunday Post newspaper performed a group test with 4 consumer breathalyzers pitched head to head against a Lion 500 Police Breathalyzer. The AlcoSense Elite won the group test, with the AlcoSense Lite finishing runner up. At the reference reading of 50mg/100ml of alcohol in blood the AlcoSense Elite exactly matched the Lion 500 Police Breathalyzer and after expetensive testing concluded:
I found the Alcosense Pro digital breathalyser met all my requirements and was extremely easy to set up and use. We tested it [AlcoSense Pro] scientifically (not in the pub, honest) with some control alcohol measured to read just below the UK’s 35ml drink-drive limit. Tested on the sort of super-accurate unit the Police will use at the station for your conviction, we found our test unit [the AlcoSense Pro] read almost exactly the same as the Police device. Verdict:If you drink, buy one. It’s a no-brainer, really." The AlcoSense™ unit automatically performs a sensor clean after every time it is used, helping to keep the sensor in top condition and reading at its most accurate. Without cleaning moisture, oxidisation and contaminants such as tannin can build up, significantly affecting the quality of readings. With AlcoSense™ Elite's automatic sensor clean after every blow test the unit will continue to perform at its best throughout its lifetime. If a breathalyzer is used outside its operating temperatures you can get erroneous readings due to temperature affecting the quality of the reaction inside the sensor. For your safety and protection AlcoSense Ultra will alert you if the unit goes outside its operating range (note the operating temperature is the temperature of the unit, not the surrounding air temperature) of 5°C~40°C. This means that, unlike rival brands, the Ultra will never let you perform a test when you could get an unreliable result. Saturation ProtectionUsing the latest technology and innovations, such as sensor algorithm and automatic sensor maintenance, AlcoSense™ Elite 3 can be used again and again whilst maintaining better accuracy. I would never knowingly drive over the limit, but I was becoming increasingly concerned about 'morning after' breathalyser tests that I had read about and bought this to find out just where I stood on that. I am not an expert in the field of alcohol dependence/ addiction, but I found the ease of use, and features, would be ideal for voluntarily monitoring one’s own issues, if any, with alcohol consumption. For any person who drives frequently, and especially for those whose livelihood depends on it, the AlcoSense Pro is a perfect solution to allow them to be confident in knowing the alcohol level in their system..."
If you do not blow for long enough the breathalyser will alert you and you can retake the test.Rival breathalysers at this price point typically take samples over less than 4 seconds and only sampling air from the throat. This can make them slightly easier to blow in to, but significanlty reduces accuracy. Cons: None whatsoever. It would have been nice if the unit was “French NF” compliant, though since 2014 the French authorities have scrapped the fine for not carrying an NF certified breathalyser for an indefinite period. So no great shakes!
Keeping a Semi-Conductor breathalyser sensor clean and free from oxidisation is essential for long term accuracy and performance. The AlcoSense Elite 3 automatically performs a sensor clean after every time it is used and periodically performs a deep sensor clean, helping to keep the sensor in top condition and reading at its most accurate and performing at its best throughout its lifetime. Every AlcoSense unit is tested for accuracy three times before leaving our factory. As a result our quality control is arguably the best in the industry meaning that you can have 100% faith in our products. AlcoSense Elite has industry leading accuracy of +/-0.2‰BAC which is unique in this price range. Why Delay? I found that with a lot of spare time on my hands, and no clinical duties or responsibilities, the temptation to “have a few” and fall foul of the law “under the influence” was an ever increasing risk! blow to hard, too soft or not long enough, the Pro tells you clearly where you have gone wrong...it couldn't be made much simpler."
