Track your B.A.C. – BACtrack!
The BACtrack
®
Breathalyzer is a professional
alcohol screening device, used for the detection of
alcohol in the breath. The BACtrack provides a digital
result, indicating the approximate BAC (Blood Alcohol
Content) of the test subject. The BACtrack is powered by
two AAA batteries and is very easy to use. Simply turn
on the unit and begin testing in a matter of seconds.
However, before you begin testing, there are a few
things you should know. Please take a moment to read
your owner’s manual in its entirety and familiarize
yourself with the BACtrack.
Alcohol and Its Effects on the Human Body
Alcohol is absorbed from the mouth, throat, stomach
and intestines into the bloodstream.
Alcohol ingested by the human body can be detected in
the breath because of its presence in the bloodstream.
Alcohol cannot be digested, and it cannot be chemically
changed in the bloodstream. As the blood flows through
the lungs, alcohol in the bloodstream moves across the
membranes of the lung’s air sacs (alveoli) into the air.
The concentration of the alcohol in the alveolar air is
directly related to the concentration of the alcohol in the
blood. As the alveolar air is exhaled, the alcohol in it
can be detected by the breath alcohol testing device.
