Used for the semi-quantitative detection of ethyl alcohol in human saliva.
Use the color coded guide to determine the approximate concentration of alcohol. It has been published that the concentration of alcohol in saliva is almost equal to that in blood.
Each pouch contains 1 one step alcohol saliva test strip, desiccant (for storage purposes only), and instructions
Test Procedure:
1. Remove a strip from the foil pouch by tearing at the notch and place it on a level surface
2. Saturate the reactive pad by dipping the reaction pad into the saliva specimen collected in a cup or by applying saliva directly to the reaction pad. After 10 seconds, shake off the excess saliva.
3. Immediately start timer; after 2 minutes, compare the reactive pad to the provided color chart
Interpretation of Results
Positive(+):
A distinct color developed all over the pad. The positive result indicates that a BAC is 0.02% or higher. The alcohol concentration is related to the color chart provided.
Negative(-):
Almost no color change by comparing with the background. The negative result indicates that the BAC is less than 0.02%
Invalid:
If only the edge of the reactive pad turned color, the test should be considered invalid. This may be due to insufficient sampling. The subject should be re-tested.
Other Information:
Store 36°F to 86°F (2°C to 30°C) in the sealed pouch up to the expiration date.
Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat.
Do Not Freeze.
Keep sealed until use.
