The BACtrack S80 is a professional-grade breathalyser that uses police-grade Xtend Fuel Cell Sensor Technology with enhanced linear accuracy and has quick one-button operation. With a single press the power button, you can begin testing in seconds.
The S80 Pro has been tested by and meets the requirements of the DOT/NHTSA for a personal breath alcohol screening device. The main player here is the Xtend Fuel Cell Sensor Technology - this sensor is the same model that is trusted by hospitals, clinics, and law enforcement, and produces the highest level of accuracy and consistency. The S80 has a LCD Screen which shows you your results in a bright and easy-to-read display, and it comes with extra mouthpieces - six in total – to make it easy and less disgusting to test your friends and family (no one wants to share hang-over mouthpieces!) However, I would love to see the mouthpieces detailed with a coloured band or number to make it easier to distinguish them.
The breathalyser uses an effective breath capture mechanism that is designed to exclude ambient air, fumes and other airborne gases that could contaminate results, and only measures air that is from deep within the lungs. Result provided are over the complete range of alcohol concentrations expected in the breath, from 0.000 to 0.400 % BAC, and will not show a false positive due to the presence of acetone, which some semiconductor models misread in people who are diabetic or on a low-calorie diet. The sensor has an extended life that will maintain accuracy for up to thousands of tests, and it has a super-fast warm-up time of 10 to 20 seconds, which means you can quickly whip through your entire friendship group the morning after the night before to see who is suitable to send out for coffee and bacon rolls.
The S80 is easy to use - simply blow into the mouthpiece for five seconds and your results will pop up after three more. It is powered on two AA batteries that will last you approx. 1,500 tests. The unit itself is compact, lightweight (136g with mouthpiece and batteries) and can be stowed away in the protective hard-shell carrycase. To keep the accuracy up to scratch, it will need to be returned occasionally to the manufacturer (in the USA) for calibration. During our testing, we found the BACtrack S80 accurate, fast and reliable, with clear results to let you know your alcohol levels and your ability to drive and work. RRP $129.99
