The Dräger Alcotest 5000 is a highly reliable breath-alcohol tester that detects the presence of alcohol. This high-speed breathalyzer lets you perform up to 12 tests per minute. Its special non-contact funnel reduces the back-flow of expired air to a minimum, preventing the risk of infection to subsequent test subjects.
The alcohol test takes place without the need for bodil contact with the test subject. There is no need to attach and detach mouthpieces, because testing requires the subjects simply to blow into a funnel. With its unique design, this special Dräger Alcotest 5000 funnel prevents the back-flow of the subject's own expired air and the inhalation of any pathogens from previous test subjects. After use, the funnel attachment is easily exchanged, providing assurance of a hygienic solution.
Where the tester and the test subject are not adjacent (for example, a driver seated in the cab of a lorry), the Alcotest 5000 features a ¼" thread on the back of the device where a standard selfie stick can be attached. This speeds up the breath-alcohol testing process. With just one change of batteries, the Alcotest 5000 can perform over 5,000 tests, whether actively (the test subject actively blows into the funnel attachment) and / or passively (for example, measuring alcohol in ambient air or suspicion of alcohol in beverages).
With over 65 years of experience, Dräger is the global leader in the field of breath alcohol testing. Police in many countries use devices from the Alcotest product line in routine traffic monitoring. The Alcotest 5000 is made in Germany and meets the highest standards of quality. It uses professional electrochemical (EC) sensor technology, ensuring reliable performance and accurate results.
