Buy Alco-Screen or Alco-Screen02 blood alcohol content test

Limitations
Failure to wait 15 minutes after placing food, drink, or other materials in the mouth before running the blood alcohol content test can provide erroneous results due to possible contamination of the saliva by interfering substances.

ALCO-SCREEN^{TM and ALCO-SCREEN02TM} salvia/blood alcohol content test is designed and calibrated to be interpreted two minutes after saturation of the reactive pad. Waiting longer than two minutes may result in erroneous results or false positive results.

ALCO-SCREEN^TM and ALCO-SCREEN02^TM  blood alcohol content test may be used to detect the presence of alcohol in fluids other than saliva. However, when used in this manner, the color chart on the package does not apply. If the substance is present in the fluid, a color change ranging from a light green-gray to black to cocoa brown will occur as the substance concentration increases. Little or no color change may occur with pure alcohol due to the absence of water which is required for the color change reaction. When testing beverages, a result should not be considered positive unless the pad changes to a very dark brown or black.

ALCO-SCREEN^TM and ALCO-SCREEN02^TM  blood alcohol content test is highly sensitive to the presence of alcohol. Alcohol vapors in the air are sometimes detected by the ALCO-SCREEN^{TM and ALCO-SCREEN02TM}  content test. Alcohol vapors are often present in many institutions and homes. 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).

Precautions
ALCO-SCREEN^TM and ALCO-SCREEN02^TM blood content test is visually interpreted where color matching is used to provide an approximation of blood alcohol concentration. As such, exact interpretation of results is not required in most cases. However, persons who are color blind or visually impaired may experience difficulty when a more specific interpretation is required.

Test materials that have been exposed to saliva should be treated as potentially infective. These materials should be returned to the original foil package and disposed of properly.

Never use ALCO-SCREEN^TM and ALCO-SCREEN02^TM after the expiration date marked on the outside of each test package.
