Installing an ignition interlock device with us is very quick and convenient. You may ask: What can breathalyzers detect? The simple answer: Breathalyzers measure alcohol on your breath. This post will further explain this topic.
What can breathalyzers detect?
Breathalyzers only measure your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC).
Some of our devices offer additional options, so just reach out if you’re interested in certain features.
“What if I need a breathalyzer installed in my vehicle?”
You’re looking for a product called an ignition interlock device. We offer those too. Ignition interlock devices also measure breath alcohol concentration (BrAC), but they’re connected to your vehicle’s ignition. When you blow into your ignition interlock device, you’re providing a breath test sample to start the vehicle.
Whether you need a handheld breathalyzer or an ignition interlock device, we can help you. When we set up your installation appointment, we’ll discuss the details.
“What are breathalyzers used for?”
There are many situations that may call for a breath alcohol concentration test that isn’t connected to starting a vehicle. Drug court, probation and parole, and child custody cases are just a few examples of programs that sometimes use handheld breathalyzers.
Most programs specify whether you need a handheld breathalyzer or an ignition interlock device. If you’re not sure, we’ll help you figure it out.
