Despite its micro size, the SAFE™ Alcohol Breath Analyzer is an effective entry level method for quickly checking Breath Alcohol content within a basic five (5) level range. The SAFE™ employs computer semiconductor technology to convert breath alcohol content to equivalent blood alcohol content (BAC) within seconds at five (5) progressive key concentration levels denoted by an easily read, color coded LED display. The SAFE™ uses the recently developed and most advanced *MEMS gas sensor which is more alcohol specific thereby minimizing the possible interference from other environmental factors. Like all alcohol breath analyzers, the sensor microchip is gas specific, meaning that smoke of any kind, especially cigarette smoke, can adversely affect accurate readings. Consequently, smokers should wait at least ten minutes prior to using the SAFE™. For additional information on technology method and specificity expectation see Technology and Accuracy. *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). This increased sensitivity and accuracy however can be more readily compromised by cigarette smoke or other contaminates in the air. Therefore it is extremely important that MEMS devices be used as free from ambient smoke as possible.
The SAFE™ Keychain model is activated through a thumb switch. After a brief internal circuitry self test routine, the test subject blows through the mouthpiece and the results are converted and read within seconds based on which color LED lamp lights according to the chart shown below.
The SAFE™ Alcohol Breath Analyzer can be used repeatedly and is not disposable. The 1.5V power source is easily replaced using a standard AAA battery and the test unit computer circuitry carries a one year limited factory warranty. The unit also incorporates a mini flashlight and static electricity eliminator function. While simple and easy to use, the SAFE Alcohol Breath Analyzer can help prevent the unfortunate and often life threatening consequences of alcohol intoxication. Used as a monitor, the SAFE can indicate when equivalent blood alcohol percentages are below or above state legal limits preventing potential arrest or worse, reckless endangerment of others. This test is recommended for "on the spot" testing whenever alcohol consumption is planned or intoxication is suspected. The SAFE™ Personal Alcohol Breath Analyzer will help to prevent the tragic and life altering consequences as witnessed in this recent headline:
Dateline San Diego, CA.
May
4, 2001: The following chart shows the effects of alcohol consumption on BAC and is provided as a example of when caution should be exercised prior to driving a motor vehicle or operating heavy equipment: ORDERING AND AVAILABILITY The SAFE Personal Alcohol Breath Analyzer is available for any circumstance or application where a fast indication of alcohol consumption and amount is desired. Qualitative ranges of blood alcohol percentage are calculated within seconds and are available quickly and discreetly by a simple LED readout anywhere, anytime. The SAFE Alcohol Personal Breath Analyzer keychain model currently comes in clamshell packaging and includes instructions, key chain accessory, and battery. Note: this is the same unit sold at Sharper Image, Precision Navigation and other specialty retailers for $50.00+.
