(INDEPENDENCE, Iowa – November 9, 2007) - Q3 Innovations, LLC announced today the release of its new, patented, AlcoHAWK PT500 digital breath alcohol screener – the first AlcoHAWK model to incorporate an electrochemical fuel-cell sensor.

As the most advanced model in the line, the handheld AlcoHAWK PT500 incorporates the PT Core™ electrochemical fuel-cell sensor to quickly and accurately screen for the presence of alcohol from .000% up to .400% BAC. The PT Core™ electrochemical fuel-cell sensor is more sensitive to testing specifically for alcohol. As a result, the AlcoHAWK PT500 helps eliminate false positives that can result with traditional semi-conductor units when testing individuals containing high levels of ketones, which are often found in individuals with diabetes or someone on a fad diet.

The AlcoHAWK PT500 features an orange back-lit LCD display, a temperature display (adjustable between Fahrenheit and Celsius), a warning level indicator, a pressure scan sensor and automatic pump. In addition, the AlcoHAWK PT500 is the first AlcoHAWK model with advance menu options that allow the user to adjust the blowing time for a breath sample to offer greater flexibility when testing individuals with differing breath-sample capacities. The AlcoHAWK PT500 is also designed for international use in mind by giving users the ability to convert the unit of measure between %BAC (U.S.A), g/L, or ‰BAC.

“We recognized the need for a professional, yet affordable breath alcohol tester featuring an electrochemical fuel-cell sensor,” said Brian C. Eddy, CEO of Q3 Innovations. “The AlcoHAWK PT500 gives law enforcement, schools, clinics and others the ability to obtain fuel-cell accuracy, reliability and durability for professional, non-regulated alcohol testing environments at a remarkable retail price point of $299.99”, said Eddy.

The AlcoHAWK PT500 (MSRP, $299.99) comes in a professional hard case with foam padding, 50 individually-wrapped mouthpieces, two AA batteries, the owner’s manual, a quick start guide and a one-year warranty. For more information, visit www.q3i.com.
