AlcoHawk Pro Portable Breathalyzer Review
The AlcoHawk Pro Portable Breathalyzer is a professional breath alcohol tester designed to accurately estimate an individual’s blood alcohol Concentration (BAC) on an easy to read digital screen.
The AlcoHawk Pro Portable Breathalyzer meets the rigorous DOT (Department of Transportation) standards as a breath alcohol screener as it employs a state of the art Semi-conductor Oxide Sensor to quickly and accurately test and display a subjects estimated BAC percentage.
The AlcoHawk Pro offers AirCheck Technology, which helps ensure that a sufficient deep lung air sample is being exhaled from the test subject. In addition the AlcoHawk Pro utilizes Sensor Recognition Technology to monitor for certain kinds of abnormal sensor circumstances. These technologies have been made available to the consumer to provide them with some of the most professionally advanced breath testing sensors to enable some of the most accurate estimations of an individual’s intoxication level on the market today.
Technology such as the Oxide Sensor will require a periodic calibration, as the sensor gets saturated with repeated use and the BAC percentage reading might become misleading. You may be thinking, “What a pain!” but in reality this calibration process is key in providing you with professional results that are similar to what Police Officers would use in the field. It is a small disruption compared to the vexation of a DUI and the overwhelming legal fees associated with such a conviction.
The Pro utilizes a one-button operation, replaceable hygienic mouthpieces, a warm up time of 20-seconds, a blowing time of 5-seconds, and a response time of 3-seconds, and has also obtained the Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) 510K premarket clearance.
Dana from Michigan writes, ”The Alcohawk Pro is like a dream come true, it has all the features I was looking for and didn’t break the bank.”
Jeff in New York emailed us saying, “With all of the high priced breathalyzers on the market today it was nice to see one that had top quality features and wasn’t over complicated to use.”
Other industry standard features include a wide detection range of 0.00-0.40% BAC, with a sensor accuracy of 0.01% at 0.10% BAC.
This Breathalyzer is extremely lightweight and portable, as this personal breath tester weighs only 200 grams and has dimensions of 4.7” x 2.36” x 0.98”. (Roughly the size and weight of your favorite deck of cards.)
The Alcohawk Pro does include five mouthpieces to ensure consistent uncontaminated results, a hard carrying case with a soft zipper cover, a car power adapter, a convenient wrist strap, an owner’s manual, and a quick start guide. Also included is a 9-volt battery, which will generally last between 200-300 BAC tests, and a 1-year warranty.
Remember alcohol takes up to an hour before it is fully consumed into your body depending on your weight. DUI Process recommends waiting 20-30 minutes after eating, drinking, or smoking before using a breath tester as a means to provide a more accurate BAC percentage reading.
