Intoximeters Alco-Sensor FST Breathalyzer
An evidential-grade direct breath alcohol tester that also offers a passive screening mode, used for accurate, repeatable results across multiple subjects.
The Intoximeters Alco-Sensor FST is described as the industry standard instrument for preliminary breath testing, built to produce precise, accurate and repeatable results in professional settings. It supports direct breath testing where a subject blows into the device for an evidential-grade reading, and it also offers a passive breath testing mode that allows an operator to screen multiple subjects quickly without requiring each person to blow directly into a mouthpiece, which speeds up screening at checkpoints or events.
The device additionally has the capacity to detect alcohol in an open container by sampling the headspace air above the liquid, a feature useful in situations where evidence of an open container needs to be confirmed. Because of its accuracy and evidential-grade design, the Alco-Sensor FST is commonly used by law enforcement agencies, corrections facilities, workplace safety programmes and transport operators who need dependable results that can support formal decisions rather than only a rough indication.
Its combination of passive and active testing modes makes it flexible enough for both rapid mass screening and more formal individual testing.
