Drager Alcotest 5000 Passive Breathalyser

The Alcotest 5000 is a high-speed, passive only breathalyser which is specifically designed to quickly check for the presence of alcohol. Instead of giving the exact amount of alcohol present in the blood of the donor, the device gives a simple indication of whether alcohol is present in the sample or not. The clear display screen of the device shows a green tick, in case the alcohol is not detected, or a red cross, in case alcohol is detected. This type of testing is ideal for situations where a quick "pass" or "fail" result is enough, such as during workplace entrance checks, stadiums, airports, and public transport entry points. If the test shows the presence of alcohol, you can then use the Alcotest 6000 or 7000 devices to measure the exact amount of alcohol. 

The device has an integrated funnel that eliminates the need for individual mouthpieces, and the donor simply has to blow into the funnel. The funnel also minimises the back-flow of expired air from the previous donors, which reduces the risk of infection and ensures hygiene. If needed, the funnel attachment can be easily swapped for an added layer of hygiene. With minimal downtime, the device can quickly test 12 people per minute and one set of fully charged batteries can perform over 5,000 tests.

Key Features of Alcotest 5000

Secure and Hygienic

The Alcotest 5000 has a specially designed disposable funnel that significantly reduces the back-flow of expired air. This minimises the risk of cross-contamination and the risk of inhaling any pathogens that might be present from previous subjects. For an added layer of hygiene, the funnel attachment can be easily exchanged whenever needed.

Quick And Efficient

Alcotest 5000 is Dräger's fastest ever breathalyser and is capable of performing up to 12 tests in under 1 minute. It has minimal downtime and is ready to use within seconds of turning the device on. This feature makes it ideal for large-scale operations, entrance checks at work sites, and stadiums, entry points to public transport.

Easy To Use

The Alcotest 5000 is simple to operate and has a single-button operation for testing functions. With just one press, you can quickly start testing, view the latest test results, reset the test counter, check the next scheduled calibration date, or even switch the menu to a different language. There are two additional arrow buttons so you can navigate the device easily. 

High Performance 

This passive breathalyser is built for large-scale testing and is capable of performing over 5,000 tests with a single set of fully charged batteries. After switching the device on, it is ready to use within seconds and has a minimal downtime during each test. To accommodate all sorts of tests, the device also has a ¼" thread on the back of the device, through which a standard selfie stick can be attached if the tester and subject are not adjacent. The device's durable, impact-resistant ABS/PC housing makes it reliable in demanding environments.

User-friendly Interface

The Alcotest 5000 has a backlit LCD graphic display that provides clear visual indicators for testing. After the donor blows into the funnel, either a green checkmark appears on the screen or a red “x”. The green tick indicates the absence of alcohol, while a red "X" indicates the presence of alcohol. The device also has two directional arrow buttons so you can easily navigate through the latest test results.
