Alcohawk PT500

September 18, 2009 by admin 

The Alcohawy PT500 (Q3I-PT500-GB) is one of the flagship models in the Alcohawk series.  The PT models feature PT Core fuel-cell sensors which is less prone to interference from acetone compared to the semi-conductor oxide models of breathalyzer.  The PT500 is menu-driven and will allow you to monitor blood alcohol concentrations up to 0.400 % (BAC).

The backlit LCD is large and easy to read (no matter what state you are in), and is the ideal unit for professional testing situations.

The Alcohawk PT500 has obtained FDA 510k premarket clearance for consumer use.

Using the PT500 is easy.  Turn the machine on using the On/Off button, and press enter.  The unit will calibrate, and then display a blow now signal.  The person then takes a deep breath and blows into the mouthpiece for around 5 seconds.   The unit will then show you the test result on the large LCD screen.

The majority of people who reviewed this item on Amazon gave it a full 5 out of 5 score.  The only negative review was from someone who said the unit never worked – maybe a defective unit?
