Alco Screen Alcohol Saliva Test - DOT Approved

Our Alcohol Saliva Screen Test is perfect for onsite testing. Since these tests are so cost-effective, you can stock up and have them on hand ready for use should the need arise. These tests are just right for Zero Tolerance testing programs wherein the blood alcohol concentration must be below 0.02%. This is often in effect with employees of transportation and safety sensitive professions. Please note, this product has a 6-month expiry date.

Approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation, our Alcohol Saliva Screen Test is easy to use. Just wet the test pad with saliva and wait 4 mintues for the results. There's not need for a lab analysis. Each test is packaged individually in a sterile pouch.

Our Alcohol Saliva test is the simplest, most cost effective method of monitoring for alcohol consumption in your ZERO TOLERANCE testing program. Alco-Screen 02 is so effective that it has been tested and approved by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) for required testing of all transportation and safety sensitive employees for blood alcohol concentrations above the federally mandated zero tolerance level of 0.02%.
*Reliable and Accurate - The concentration of alcohol in saliva is very close to that in the blood, for that reason it is more accurate than the other types of tests. Identifies the alcohol levels greater than 0.02%. *Easy-to-use and inexpensive - Our test is a simple one-step saliva screening test that works in a clean, non-invasive manner and provides results in 4 minutes. *Comfortable and Fast - Easy to use at any time, any where in their individual and disposable package. Simply wet the test pad with your saliva, and get results in 4 minutes. No need for laboratory analysis *Packaged individually in a sterile, and pouch bag.

DIRECTIONS NOTE: Do not place anything in the mouth for fifteen (15) minutes prior to beginning the test. This includes non-alcoholic drinks, tobacco products, coffee, breath mints, food, etc.

1. 1. Open the foil package and remove the test strip. Observe the reactive pad on the end of the test strip. The pad should be a light cream color. 2. Insert test pad into mouth and saturate with saliva. Remove test pad after ten seconds, and wait four minutes. 3. At exactly four (4) minutes, observe the results on the pad. The development of a distinct colored line across the reactive pad indicates the presence of alcohol greater than 0.02% BAC. Results obtained after more than 5 minutes may be erroneous and should not be used.Estimate the approximate blood alcohol concentration by comparing the color of the pad to the color chart on the back panel of foil package. INTERPRETATION The development of a line on the test pad at 4 minutes indicates a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 0.02% as shown below:

Positive Result: Blood alcohol above 0.02%.

Negative Result: Blood alcohol less than 0.02%.

LIMITATIONS

• Failure to wait 15 minutes after placing food, drink, or other materials in the mouth before running the test can provide erroneous results due to possible contamination of the saliva by interfering substances.
• Waiting longer than four minutes to interpret the test can result in erroneous or false positive results.
• The test is highly sensitive to the presence of alcohol. Alcohol vapors in the air can sometimes be detected by the test. Alcohol is a component in many household products such as disinfectants, deodorizers, and glass cleaners. If the presence of alcohol vapors is suspected, the test should be performed in an area known to be free of these vapors (such as outside).
