This is because of the time it takes for alcohol to reach the bloodstream from the
time you actually had the drink. If you have eaten food this can also increase the
time, as the release of alcohol into the bloodstream can be slowed by it being
absorbed by food in the stomach. This is the reason why we do not recommend
using the breathalyser just after finishing drinking because there are too many
factors that can influence the reading. The ideal time is the morning after.
Things That Can Affect the Reading of Your Breathalyser
There are some factors that that can affect the reading of breathalysers
whether it be the AlcoSense breathalyser or a police system. As long as you
are aware of these factors you will be able to use your AlcoSense to give
high precision readings.
The Do's and Don'ts
Do:
• Use the breathalyser the morning after a few drinks.
• Read the instructions carefully.
• Perform an ASC (see page 8) regularly.
• Phone us if you have any difficulties.
• Have a quick drink of water before using the breathalyser to remove any
contaminants in the mouth.
Don't
• Use the breathalyser for at least 30 minutes after drinking alcohol (we
recommend using it the morning after, please see section "How Alcohol
is Processed by the Body" on page 3).
• Use the breathalyser for at least 30 minutes after using mouthwash,
breath spray, cough medicine or anything else that may contain alcohol.
• Use the breathalyser for at least 25 minutes after having a cigarette or
eating certain over-ripe fruit.
• Perform a test in dirty air, i.e. a smokey room.
• Use the breathalyser if you are breathing quickly (for example, after running
up the stairs) or have been holding your breath. This can falsely lower or
raise the reading respectively. Wait until you are breathing normally again.
It is safest to drive when you have no alcohol left in your blood stream. As a
result we only recommend driving when the Alcosense breathalyser reads 'Lo'.
