Intoximeter Alco-Sensor FST Breathalyser

The compact and ergonomically designed Alco-Sensor® FST Alcohol Test Device is used for professional alcohol breath analysis. 

The test result is displayed either in ug/100ml which is the standard UK Police measurement. The result is available after only 3 seconds. The test device measures values of up to 2.20 mg/l or 5 promille and is not influenced by acetone or other substances. 

To ensure an uncomplicated test procedure even in poor lighting conditions, such as at dusk or at night, the device not only has an illuminated mouthpiece guide, but also a backlit LCD display with numerical and graphic prompts. 

Sampling can be performed passively, directly or via liquid testing, as required. An innovative pressure sensor detects the presence of a sample and thanks to automatic aspiration detection, stops backflow so that mouthpieces with a re-breathing barrier are not required. Thanks to their sophisticated design, the matching Alco-Sensor® mouthpiece direct the test subject's breath away from the user. In this way, the risk of infection transmission is minimized. A built-in temperature sensor, on the other hand, is used to monitor the test conditions in real time.

Data Logging Function

Use the touch-screen display system to enter details relevant to each breath test into the instrument’s memory. From there it can later be downloaded to a host PC, for statistical analysis in various management functions.

Some data is entered by touching the relevant icon, while others are entered using the on-screen key pad.

As an alternative to the touch-screen, the five navigation buttons can be used for data entry instead, if required.

Integral GPS

The 600 incorporates an optional GPS system to record the exact location of each breath test - quickly, accurately and fully automatically. These GPS details are stored in memory and can then be transferred to a PC with the actual breath analysis data, where they can then be analysed using standard mapping software.

This capability enables the User Authority to build up a complete picture of the alcohol problem in their jurisdiction, together with a continuous assessment of the efficiency in its detection and control.

Multi-Breath Sampling Modes

The 600 is perfect for use in Police roadblock operations, or wherever else it is required to test a large number of people for the presence or absence of alcohol - quickly and effectively.

In Passive Mode there is no mouthpiece. Just hold the 600 in front of the subject’s mouth as they speak, then press Sample. The system draws in several samples of breath and determines if alcohol is present [above .05mg/L BrAC, or 0.01% BAC, ONLY].

Alternatively, the subject blows into the re-useable sampling cup. In either way, if no alcohol is present the 600 shows PASS - then quickly resets itself, all fully automatically!

In Active Mode the subject blows through a mouthpiece, to provide a deep lung breath specimen. This is then analysed, to give an accurate reading of the subject’s alcohol level. For ease of mouthpiece attachment at night, the sampling port is illuminated.

In Dual Mode the test starts off in Passive or Precursory operation; but if alcohol is found to be present the system automatically switches to Active Mode:
