Track your B.A.C. – BACTRACK!
The BACTRACK
®
Keychain Alcohol Detector is an 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 one AAA battery 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.
