Alcovisor Mercury

The Alcovisor mercury breathalyser utilises Passive and Direct testing in order to obtain a BAC reading. The Mercury has an easy to use touch screen for navigating through the menu. Once powered on the user simply chooses Passive or Direct test mode, enters to subjects information (optional) and conducts the breath test providing fast precise BAC analysis. Passive testing is extremely useful when perform multiple tests on multiple subjects simply because it saves the operator using mouthpieces on subjects who return a .000 reading.
 

Passive Test Mode: Passive test mode is where the subject speaks into the sample port while the breathalyser analyses the breath. The mercury should be held approximately 30mm from the subjects mouth while they count to ten. The result of this test can be either “PASS” or “FAIL”. If the result is PASS there was no alcohol detected on the subjects breath. If the result is “FAIL” the Mercury’s operator will be instructed to connect a mouthpiece to the breathalyser and perform a Direct test.
 

NOTE: A precise alcohol reading cannot be obtained from performing a PASSIVE test. Due to variables such as ambient air, wind etc. diluting the sample taken. This is why the Alcovisor Mercury provides a PASS/FAIL result for a Passive test, instructing the operator to perform a Direct test only when alcohol has been detected on the breath. The only method to obtain an exact alcohol reading is for the subject to seal their lips around a mouthpiece ensuring the breathalyser only analyses the subjects breath.
