Breathalyzer Calibrator is an innovative device designed for end users, companies, organizations, and institutions that want to check in a simple and reliable way whether a breathalyzer is working properly. The solution enables independent verification of breathalyzer accuracy without the need to use service laboratories or rely on improvised, imprecise control methods.
The device displays alcohol concentration in the same units used by the tested breathalyzer. This allows the user to directly compare the value shown on the calibrator with the result displayed by the breathalyzer and immediately determine whether the device measures correctly or whether the result is understated or overstated. In practice, this means greater safety and greater confidence in decision-making. Breathalyzer readings are often the basis for decisions about driving, allowing an employee to begin work, or performing duties that require full fitness.
The calibrator was designed for transport companies, organizations, and individual users. Over time, breathalyzer sensors are affected by wear, drift, and environmental factors, which may reduce measurement accuracy. As a result, users or employers often rely on readings without being certain that the device is still functioning properly. This is particularly important in the case of low-quality devices, where a “zero” result does not always reflect the actual condition of the tested person, but may instead result from loss of accuracy, a weak sensor, or breathalyzer malfunction.
The solution has been developed to simplify the verification process as much as possible. The calibrator can be offered as a standalone device or as a set with an integrated pump, intended especially for corporate and institutional use. This configuration makes the process even more structured and convenient, replacing improvised methods with a more professional, user-friendly, and repeatable solution.
The procedure has been designed to be fast and intuitive. The user only needs to pour the ready-made solution into the calibrator, switch on the calibrator and the tested breathalyzer, and perform the measurement. The whole process can take less than one minute. As a result, breathalyzer verification becomes a simple, regular activity rather than a complicated technical procedure. It is portable, intuitive, and ready for everyday use.
