Celebrate safely – check yourself before you get behind the wheel
Summer is here – the season for more garden parties, weddings, festivals and celebrations with friends or family. And to make sure the celebrations remain only positive memories, it’s important to remember one simple but important principle: don’t drink and drive.
That’s exactly what the disposable Alcotest alcohol tester does – it gives you a quick and easy way to know if you’re ready to get behind the wheel safely.
How does the disposable alcohol tester work?
“Alcotest is a compact tester that measures the concentration of alcohol in your breath. It works by chemical reaction – changing colour when alcohol is detected in the breath. A reagent in the middle of the tube reacts with the exhaled air and the result is visible after 2-4 minutes.
The test measures blood alcohol concentration starting at 0.2‰. The test has an accuracy of 99% and is certified according to the NFX 20-702 standard.
How to use? Step by step:
- Wait at least 20 minutes after your last drink.
- Press both ends of the tester firmly to break the safety film.
- Take a deep breath and blow air into the tube twice, each for about 10 seconds.
- Wait 2 to 4 minutes.
- Compare the result with the colour scale on the packaging.
If the tester shows a colour change, this indicates the presence of alcohol above 0.2‰. It is best to make the comparison in daylight.
Important to know
- The tester is for single use only.
- Not to be used as official legal evidence.
- The accuracy of the test is high, but it is no substitute for sound judgement – if in doubt, don’t drive!
- The used tester can be safely disposed of in household waste.
Safety starts with choosing to be responsible
