Personal Breathalyser FAQs

When should I use a breathalyser?

A breathalyser can be used to take a breath test whenever you've had a few drinks and want to ensure that your blood alcohol content (BAC) level is below the legal limit.

Most people use breathalysers to check their alcohol levels and see if they are sober enough to drive or to monitor their alcohol consumption.

Is a breathalyser accurate?

Breathalysers are the easiest and most accurate way to estimate a person’s intoxication level by measuring the concentration of alcohol found in an individual’s breath sample. Breathalysers will continue to provide accurate readings as long as they are being used and maintained properly with regular calibrations.

Does my breathalyser require maintenance?

Breathalysers from Andatech require calibration every six months (as per Australian Standard guidelines) to ensure that the sensor remains accurate at all times.

How long should I wait after drinking before driving?

Generally, the safest approach to this is to not drive on the same night you were out drinking because alcohol can stay in your system for as long as 12 hours, considering factors including weight, gender, type of alcohol consumed, and more,

What are breathalyser best practices?

  • Ensure test subject has not consumed food or drink for 15 to 20 minutes before the test
  • Use a new mouthpiece for every new test subject
  • Always store the breathalyser according to Andatech storage instructions and guidelines
  • Send your breathalyser for calibration every 6 months to ensure optimal results and
    accuracy at all times.

Why choose AlcoSense personal breathalysers?

Australians trust AlcoSense personal breathalysers for their reliability and quality. Built to help you make smart, responsible choices, each model combines advanced technology with a user-friendly design for quick, easy blood alcohol checks.

AlcoSense designs devices for everyday convenience, supporting safe and responsible drinking habits. They help provide peace of mind whether you’re on a night out, at an event, or getting ready to drive.

Know your BAC for responsible choices

In Australia, knowing your blood alcohol content (BAC) is essential. Strict legal limits are set at 0.00% for learners and probationary drivers, and 0.05% for fully licensed drivers.

AlcoSense breathalysers provide fast, accurate BAC readings, helping you stay within safe limits. Whether you are preparing for a long drive or relaxing after an event, these breathalysers give clear results, helping you drink responsibly.

Knowing your BAC helps you make responsible choices and avoid the serious risks of drunk driving, including drink driving penalties, injuries, and even fatalities.

Another measurement to gauge one’s intoxication levels is breath alcohol concentration or BrAC.

How to use an AlcoSense Breathalyser

Using a breath alcohol tester is the most convenient way to measure your blood alcohol level. An AlcoSense breathalyser enhances this convenience with quick results and easy-to-use features.

Using an AlcoSense breathalyser is simple and efficient. Start by waiting 20 minutes after eating or drinking for the most accurate results. Turn on the device and allow it to warm up.

Once the unit displays a ‘blow’ prompt, it means that it is ready to administer a breath test. Blow into the unit’s mouthpiece until it clicks, signalling that it has received your breath sample.

Within seconds, your BAC reading will appear, giving you instant feedback on your alcohol levels. This straightforward process helps you monitor your BAC easily, enabling safe decisions with just a quick check.

Benefits of fuel cell breathalysers

AlcoSense breathalysers work using advanced fuel cell sensors, known for providing precise, reliable BAC readings. Fuel cell sensor technology is also employed by law enforcement portable breathalysers. 

Unlike older semiconductor sensors, fuel cell technology is resilient against factors like temperature changes, delivering accurate results with fewer false positives. Fuel cell sensors also last longer when maintained regularly through calibrations. This is partly why Andatech offers Lifetime Guarantee on units that are calibrated regularly. 

Some units employ platinum fuel cell technology for better performance. Their accuracy makes AlcoSense ideal for anyone who needs a reliable personal breathalyser in various situations.

To maintain top performance, AlcoSense breathalysers require regular calibration, ideally every six months. Breathalyser calibration keeps the breathalyser sensor accurate and corrects any sensor drift. Regular calibration is a smart way to maximise reliability and performance.

Andatech’s calibration plans make it easy for you to get accurate BAC readings, saving you time, stress, and money while ensuring a great experience. By joining the calibration plan, you will get reminders and priority service. This helps your device last longer and stay ready for accurate readings.
