“This handy device can help prevent a minor potential problem from becoming a life changing DISASTER. It alerted us to the condition of a guest well over legal limit after our Christmas meal (with wine), even though he had no visible signs of impairment. We waited and monitored his BA until it recovered to an acceptable level before driving home. When dining out it allows us to monitor our BA to ensure it does not become excessive. Friends find the accurate feedback very interesting valuable and are grateful when I offer them the chance to use it.”
“We test patients in our Mental Health Crisis Unit, Day Treatment Unit, and Mental Health Clinic/Substance Abuse Track. This machine is easier to use than the previous one (another company). Specifically, the mouthpiece is easier to attach. On our old machine the small tube attachment point frequently broke off and had to be repaired. We like not having to test and recalibrate with the dry gas tanks, too!”
“I write automation software for breweries, and often either sample the product or even get paid in beer, and it would be devastating to get a DUI. So, I wait 30-60 minutes after my last beer, guess what my BAC level is, and then blow this. Now I not only avoid driving at illegal levels, but I have actually "calibrated" myself so I know my BAC pretty closely now even if I don't have a chance to use this.”
“With the S80 in the door of my car, I'm ready to make sure I'm okay to drive after having drinks. Knowing you have the device to answer to later probably limits your drinking to less than you would have anyways, an added benefit!”
“I purchased due to the limits changing in my province. I don't use it to meet the limit, it helps me understand the new limit and how it affects me. Great tool”
“I use the product as a precaution. I liked it so much I purchased one as a gift for my parents and a second one as a back-up for myself. I have not sent it in yet for recalibration. I did find, at times, the results vary greatly from one minute to the next, but it could be "user error" or recalibration is needed. I have found if there is an error it is toward the side of safety.”
