Ideal for use in any breath alcohol measuring application, the Draeger Alcotest 6810 is quick, accurate and easy to use. It can be operated within six seconds of start-up and provides up to 1,500 measurements with just one pair of AA batteries.

Draeger has been supplying breath alcohol devices to police forces worldwide for over 50 years. The Alcotest 6810 combines fast, reliable breath alcohol analysis with advanced data capture and storage. With a short warm-up and retest time, even after high alcohol concentrations, it also benefits from a simple, quick accuracy check and calibration procedure.

Featuring simple, three-button operation, the Alcotest 6810 provides full text messages via a back-lit LCD graphic display and also incorporates three different LED colours to provide an immediate visual confirmation of the result.

Eliminating the possibility of breath sample manipulation and offering low blowing resistance, this hand-held, ambidextrous instrument emits an audible alarm at the end of the testing process. Hygienic in use, the patented, secure mouthpiece is easy to both attach and remove and measurements can be taken at the touch of a single button.

Results are shown in pass, fail and alert and ug/mL, as well as mg/L, %° or %. A datalogger enables 200 events to be stored at any one time. Once stored, officers can recall the appropriate test number and display the result as and when required. For those applications where hard copies are required the unit can also be supplied with a printer.
