Alco-Screen 0.02, is the simplest, most cost effective method of monitoring for alcohol consumption in your ZERO TOLERANCE testing program.

Alco-Screen 0.02, a rapid saliva test, is so effective that it has been tested and approved by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) for required testing of all transportation and safety sensitive employees for blood alcohol concentrations above the federally mandated zero tolerance level of 0.02%.

Alco-Screen 0.02, is a simple one-step saliva-screening test that works in a clean, non-invasive manner and provides results in 4 minutes. Simply wet the test pad with saliva and wait 4 minutes. The development of a line on the test pad at 4 minutes indicates a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 0.02%.

 Positive Result: Blood alcohol above 0.02%

 Negative Result: Blood alcohol less than 0.02%.

If you are an employer, be aware that "alcohol abuse" accounts for two thirds of all substance abuse complaints and depletes a similar percentage from the health care benefit budgets of American companies. Now, more than ever, there is an increasing number of public safety officials, corporate officers and small business owners very concerned about problems with the presence of alcohol in the workplace,  in public places, particularly when the substance abuser is in control of a vehicle or heavy equipment.

As a result, there is a demand for more effective detection of alcohol impairment, where possible, or of blood alcohol content (BAC) in individuals engaged in work or driving.

Intended Usage

ALCO-SCREEN 02 saliva alcohol test is intended for use as a rapid, highly sensitive method to detect the presence of alcohol substance in saliva and to provide a semi-quantitative approximation of blood alcohol concentration. For applications where a quantitative determination of blood alcohol concentration is required, a positive ALCO-SCREEN result must be verified using an acceptable quantitative alcohol procedure. ALCO-SCREEN 02 test require no special training provided that instructions are followed carefully. However, quantitative follow-up testing should be performed by a qualified professional.

ALCO-SCREEN and ALCO-SCREEN 02 test may also be used to non-quantitatively detect the presence of substance in many other fluids, such as soft drinks, blood serum, etc. (see Limitations for further information).

Procedure

1. Abstain from placing anything in the mouth for fifteen (15) minutes prior to beginning the test. This includes non-alcoholic drinks, tobacco products, coffee, breath mints, food, etc.

2. Open the foil package and remove the test strip. Observe the reactive pad on the end of the test strip. The pad should be a light cream color. A test strip with a reagent pad which has a colored line or is discolored must be discarded.

3. Saturate the reactive pad with saliva from mouth or sputum cup. Immediately start timer.

4. At two (4) minutes, observe the results on the reactive pad. The development of a distinct colored line across the reactive pad indicates the presence of alcohol greater than 0.02% BAC. Do not read results after 5 minutes.
