Alco-Sensor FST® Alcohol Breathaliser |
FST® |
Introduction.
The Alco-Sensor FST (ASFST) provides precise, accurate, repeatable results on direct breath sample testing.
The instrument is also designed to offer a simple passive testing procedure for quick screening of a large number of subjects and the capability of measuring the headspace over a solution to identify alcohol in a suspected open container.
While the Alco-Sensor FST is designed to withstand field use in a policing environment, it is also designed to offer intuitive, simple operating procedures and have sample collection requirements that minimize risk to the operator.
Unique Features.
The Alco-Sensor FST was designed with operator safety in mind. Unlike other instruments available in the market, the symmetric design and rear facing display of the ASFST allows an operator to remain in control of the subject, view the instrument display, monitor the surrounding environment and divert the subject’s breath so that they are not directly in the breath stream during the sample collection process. The Alco-Sensor FST also offers advantages in low light operations such as a backlit LCD display, an illuminated mouthpiece guide, a “lever and snap” mouthpiece insertion and optional multi-color backlit display messaging to warn of important test conditions.
Calibrations.
Calibrations of these products are now done by us in our laboratory, with traceable certification, in conjunction with and approved by the manufacturers.
SABS.
We are in the process of having the above product approved by the SABS, upon the request of the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD). |
The Alco-Sensor FST®, made by Intoximeters is Hand Held and Portable, is ideal for fast detection of alcohol in breath, and can be used by Industry and Law Enforcement Officers. |

Approvals |
NHTSA |
Listed on the Conforming Products List for Evidential Breath Measurement Devices. |
Analytical System |
Electrochemical Sensor (Fuel Cell) |
Select sensor, manufactured to Intoximeters exacting specifications for accuracy, repeatability and long life. |
Measurement Range |
0.000 to 0.440 g/210L |
The off the shelf instrument is designed to offer a range of results that our customers commonly encounter when performing breath alcohol testing. Custom ranges, and results reported in most units of measure are available upon request. |
Accuracy and Precision |
Highly accurate and precise evidential grade results |
Intoximeters fuel cell based instruments set the industry standard for accuracy and precision. These precise and linear devices offer consistent output that results in evidentiary grade analysis. |
Sensor Selectivity |
Highly specific for alcohol |
Fuel Cell sensors are sought after for their specificity to alcohol. |
Sampling Method |
Flow, Volume, Breath Drop |
Instruments running the standard software require a consistent flow, a minimum volume and then a drop in flow before sampling a deep lung breath. Alternate sample capture algorithms are available in customized programs. |
Testing Environment |
Instrument Temperature |
The temperature of the instrument must be at, or between, 0 and 40 degrees C. |
|
Ambient Temperature |
As long as the instrument is at temperature, the instrument can be used at, or between, ambient temperatures of -20 to 70 degrees C. |
|
Humidity |
10% to 100% relative humidity (The instrument is not designed to be used under water.) |
|

600 mbar to 1400 mbar; 450 mmHg [0 °C] to 1050 in mmHg [0 °C] |
Mouthpiece |
Direct Testing |
Single chamber with air flow diversion away from the operator. Mounts easily by "lever and snap" insertion in the lighted mouthpiece channel. |
|
Passive Testing |
Passive cup permits automatic or manual collection of breath as subject blows towards the cup. Cup snaps onto the two ports in the mouthpiece channel. |
|
Drink Sniffer |
