Traditional urine and blood testing procedures are intrusive, requiring multiple time-consuming steps for sample stabilization, extraction, and preparation before analysis. Since these tests are typically not performed on-site, each sample’s analysis can take 1–3 hours, making the process costly and unsuited for high-throughput needs, which often leads to backlogs and further delays. This lag between testing and analysis reduces the test's effectiveness, failing to prevent impaired individuals from accessing the workplace in real-time. These limitations highlight the need for an accurate, on-site alcohol impairment test.
Handheld breath testing devices provide a non-invasive, convenient solution, addressing some privacy concerns and enabling quick, repeatable measurements. However, handheld devices require trained operators, as well as regular calibration or replacement, significantly adding to both time and cost.
Wall-mounted alcohol screening devices, on the other hand, eliminate the need for trained personnel, allowing for self-administered, on-site testing that is both simple and cost-effective. These devices also reduce the risk of tampering with breath samples before testing, making them a reliable alternative for efficient, high-volume alcohol screening in the workplace.
The BreathLogix (BR-LGX) alcohol screening device enables high-volume "zero tolerance" screening of employees, contractors and visitors in safety sensitive industries such as Mining, Construction and Oil and Gas. The BreathLogix can significantly reduce industrial accidents linked to alcohol consumption.
