Breathalyzers Designed for Clubs, Bars, Alcohol Venues, Aim to Prevent Drunk Driving

Andatech, the company who pioneered the consumer market for breath alcohol testers, is encouraging owners of bars, clubs, entertainment venues and other establishments that serve alcohol to install a fixed or bartop coin operated breathalyzer machine in their place of business.

Although bartenders are trained to recognize when a patron has had too much to drink, an onsite breathalyzer supports their decision. When customers actually see their blood alcohol concentration (BAC), they are less likely to get into their car and drive.

The Andatech AL3500F works like similar vending machines, with step-by-step audio and visual cues to direct the user when taking the breath test and reading its results. It is equipped with fuel cell technology, which provides the highest rate of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) accuracy. To begin the alcohol test, the Andatech AL3500F dispenses a cylindrical straw for the user to breathe into so the sensor can calculate alcohol content. The BAC results are provided within 10 seconds.

The compact bartop design of the Andatech AL3500F is unobtrusive and allows for privacy when testing. It can be placed on the top of a bar, on a corner table, or mounted on a wall.

According to an Andatech spokesperson, the coin operated breathalyzer is being well received by owners of bars, clubs, pubs and entertainment venues because the device enables them to promote safe driving in a way that doesn’t impact their bar revenue. Most establishments that serve alcohol realize most of their profit from drink sales.

As a coin operated breath test, the Andatech AL3500F also offers alcohol-serving establishments an additional means of earning supplementary revenue because once they make the initial investment of purchasing the breathalyzer, they retain all the earnings from it. This earning incentive motivates staff to encourage patrons to use the breathalyzer to determine their blood alcohol concentration before getting into their car to drive.

By installing a coin operated bartop breathalyzer, liquor establishments can take a more active role in promoting responsible drinking and safe driving. It is expected that the effort will cut down on the number of drunken driving accidents and death.

Headquartered in Australia, Andatech is the industry leader in personal and professional alcohol detection breathalyzers. The company distributes breathalyzer devices developed for personal, workplace, transportation safety and law enforcement use. Vending opportunities for the Andatech AL3500F are also available.

Andatech, the industry leader in alcohol detection breathalyzers who pioneered the consumer market for breath alcohol testers, introduces an affordable portable breathalyzer aimed at reducing binge drinking and drunk driving incidents.

The Andatech AL6000 Pro ensures an accurate breath test each and every time. It is the first personal handheld semiconductor breathalyzer to undergone rigorous testing for quality and accuracy and to earn the Australian Standard AS3547 certification. The alcohol testing device has also received FDA, CE and DOT approval for personal, workplace and law enforcement use.

The Andatech AL6000 Pro is recognized as having the highest accuracy rate, guaranteeing a 99.99% BAC accuracy. The battery operated portable device has a response time of five seconds, one of the fastest in the industry.

With its lightweight design, the Andatech AL6000 Pro can conveniently fit into a purse, glove compartment, or pocket, making it conducive to bring along to any social setting. It is also easy to use by inserting a mouthpiece into the personal breathalyzer and blowing into the opening until the device stops beeping. The BAC reading appears within seconds. The Andatech AL6000 Pro is built with a bright LED display for easy reading in all lighting conditions, including dimly lit places or during nighttime hours.

Priced under $200, the Andatech AL6000 Pro is the world’s first and only breathalyzer with dual testing modes. The normal alcohol tester mode measures blood alcohol concentration, while the detector mode can be shared among more than one person to test the presence of alcohol. This unique feature is especially useful during a night out among a group of friends to determine who is capable of safe driving.

With responsible drinking on everyone’s mind, the Andatech AL6000 Pro is designed to save lives by preventing drunk driving accidents and reducing the dangers of social drinking. Headquartered in Australia, Andatech is the industry leader in personal and professional breathalyzer distribution.
