BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer Review – Cheers To Good Times!

Over the course of the weekend there may have been a chance that you, your family and/or friends may have enjoyed one or two (or six) of those brown pops. Possibly a different alcoholic beverage may have been enjoyed! Either way, the worst part about partying is the worry of how you are getting home. For some it can be awkward, but ever so important, to approach your friends and family to stop them from drinking and driving. While there is no easy way to approach the subject matter, BACtrack has made your life slightly easier.

This bluetooth breathalyzer can help you, your friends and family easily identify one’s approximate blood alcohol content, which can aid in one’s judgement prior to driving. It is important to note that no device is available to accurately tell you whether or not you should drive after drinking. BACtrack is geared towards helping you track your drinking patterns and how your body handles the alcohol you consume, so please keep that in mind as you read through our review and our testing of the BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

The BACtrack Mobile smartphone bluetooth breathalyzer is a very simple device, which isn’t hidden by its packaging. The front of the packaging features a clear plastic window that let’s you see pretty much exactly what you are buying.

The backside of the packaging, goes a step further, it tells you how you can test, track and learn about your drinking habits.

According to the side of the box, when we open up the packaging we will find the BACtrack mobile smartphone breathalyzer, three mouthpieces, a carrying pouch, a Micro-USB charger and the user guide.

The BACtrack device is approximately the width of a credit card, but just a little shorter and a depth of about a centimetre. The top of the breathalyzer has the mouthpiece at the front, and an air ‘exit way’ on the backside. In the image below you can see some of the internal components of this bluetooth breathalyzer, this includes a Xtend Fuel Cell Sensor Technology, which was originally designed for military use to determine the alcohol mixture required for particular hybrid fuel assault vehicles. The device also features an internal air pump that ensures the air is equally passed across the sensor. Additionally, this feature allows the sensor to focus on air from deep within the lungs, closer to where the air in your lungs meets the blood stream.
