(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.

OK, we’ve alluded to, maybe even encouraged, imbibing in these pages, but, dear reader, we want you and your fellow football fans to arrive alive. So may we suggest, in all earnestness, the AlcoHAWK Slim, a breath alcohol screener the size of a cell phone. Just blow into the folded mouthpiece for an accurate, two-digit BAC reading in seconds. No jokes, no wisecracks, because driving under the influence is serious stuff. (Please buckle up, too.)
