Portable breathalyzer gets FDA nod

Just pucker up and blow.

That’s all you need to do to take advantage of a new gadget that might come in handy when you’re wondering whether either you or your companion should be driving home from the party.

The Alcohawk ABI is a hand-held digital breathalyzer that advertises itself as “the only FDA-cleared screener on the market.”

A “state of the art semiconductor oxide sensor” on the gadget allows you to test your personal fumes or those of your family or friends in three seconds, according to Alcohawk press materials.

The device runs on a 9-volt battery (included) or plugs into a car dashboard power source.  Its “one button and blow” operation can read blood alcohol up to .40 — which, by the way, is over the New Jersey limit of .08.  The Alcohawk is about $100 on line at Target and The Sharper Image. — Kathleen Shea

None for the road

There’s still time to buy an Aclohawk ABI Digital Breath Alcohol Screener for your Super Bowl party.

You could use this handheld device on friends and family who have had too much to drink but insist they can drive home.

The Alcohawk is a professional-grade breath alcohol screener cleared by the Food and Drug Administration and approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

It passes accuracy standards required by federal transportation agencies.

A 9-volt battery, included, powers the breath alcohol screener for about 300 uses. It also plugs into a car dashboard power socket.

The Alcohawk uses a semiconductor oxide sensor to measure breath alcohol content quickly and accurately.  A user simply presses a button, blows into the mouthpiece and waits just three seconds for a number to appear.

It is sold at Sharper Image stores for $99.95.  If you can’t get to a store, look for online sources at www.q3i.com.
