Accurate breath alcohol testing for reduced drink driving limits

Ready for use within six seconds of start up, this hand-held, ambidextrous instrument features simple, three-button operation and provides full text messages via a clear, back-lit LCD graphic display. Results are shown in PASS, FAIL and ALERT and ug/mL as well as mg/L, %o or %. In addition, it incorporates three different LED colours to provide an immediate visual confirmation of the result.

Hygienic in use, the patented, secure mouthpiece is easy to both attach and remove and measurements can be taken at the touch of a single button. Eliminating the possibility of breath sample manipulation and offering low blowing resistance, the Alcotest 6810 emits an audible alarm at the end of the testing process.

Providing up to 1500 measurements with just one pair of AA batteries, it has a short warm-up and retest time, even after high alcohol concentrations. For maximum ease of use it also benefits from a simple, quick accuracy check and calibration procedure.

An efficient datalogger enables 200 events to be stored at any one time and, once stored, users are able to recall the appropriate test number and display the result as and when required. For those applications where hard copies are required the unit can also be supplied with a mobile printer.

Draeger has been supplying police forces all over the world with the most up to date breath alcohol devices for over 50 years. Drawing on this experience as well as user feedback, and designed to meet modern day requirements, the Alcotest 6810 forms part of the extensive Draeger range of drug, alcohol and portable gas detection instruments.
