ALLTEST Description A rapid, one-step screening test for the semi-quantitative determination of alcohol in saliva. Qualified for legal purposes. The rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip is a rapid and highly sensitive method for determining the presence of alcohol in saliva and providing an approximate value of the relative concentration of alcohol in the blood. This test provides only a preliminary screening test. To confirm the analytical result, a more specific alternative chemical method must be used. Clinical evaluation and professional judgment should be applied to each test result, especially when preliminary investigations are positive. It has been proven that the alcohol concentration in saliva is comparable to that in blood. The rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip consists of a plastic test strip with a reactive pad at the end. Upon contact with alcohol solutions, the reactive pad will immediately change color, depending on the alcohol concentration in the blood. The reactive pad uses a solid-phase chemical system that uses a highly specific enzymatic reaction. How to use Directions for use Before testing, allow the test strip in the package to reach room temperature (15-30°C). 1. Avoid putting anything in your mouth for fifteen minutes before the test. This includes non-alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, coffee, breath mints, and food, etc. 2. Spit the saliva into the collection container. 3. Open the foil pouch and remove the test strip. Observe the test pad at the end of the strip. If the test pad is blue before applying the saliva sample, do not use it. 4. Saturate the reagent swab with saliva from the collection container or by applying saliva directly to the swab. (It usually takes 6-8 seconds for saturation.) Start the timer immediately after applying saliva. 5. Read the result after two minutes. Compare the color of the test pad to the color chart on the foil package to determine the relative blood alcohol concentration. Interpretation of the results Positive: The rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip will change color if alcohol is present in the saliva. The color can range from light blue with a relative blood alcohol concentration of 0.02% to dark blue with a relative blood alcohol concentration close to 0.30%. This range of swab colors allows for an approximate reading of the relative blood alcohol concentration. The test may produce colors that appear to be between two adjacent colored swabs. NOTE: The rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip is highly sensitive to the presence of alcohol. A lighter blue color than the 0.02% colored pad should be interpreted as positive for the presence of alcohol in saliva but with a relative blood alcohol concentration of less than 0.02%. Negative: If the rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip shows no color change, this result should be interpreted as negative, indicating that no alcohol has been detected. Void: If the reactive swab is blue before applying the saliva sample, do not use it. NOTE: If the outer edges of the colored swab produce a slight stain, but most of the swab remains colorless, the test should be repeated to ensure complete saturation of the swab with saliva. The test cannot be reused. Precautions The rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip is a visual test that uses color matching to provide an approximate relative blood alcohol concentration. Test materials that have been exposed to saliva should be treated as potentially infectious. Do not use the rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip after the expiration date indicated on the foil package. Restrictions 1. Failure to wait 15 minutes after eating, drinking, or smoking before taking the test may result in incorrect results due to possible contamination of saliva with interfering substances. 2. The rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip is highly sensitive to the presence of alcohol. Alcohol vapors in the air can sometimes be detected by the rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip. Alcohol vapors are present in many public buildings and homes. Alcohol is a component of many household products such as disinfectants, deodorants, perfumes, and glass cleaners. If you suspect alcohol vapors are present in the environment, it is recommended to perform the test in an area free of vapors. 3. Ingesting or using over-the-counter medications and products containing alcohol may produce positive results. Conservation The rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip should be stored at 2-30°C (36-86°F) in its sealed foil pouch. Storage temperatures above 30°C (86°F) may affect test performance. If the product is refrigerated, the rapid saliva breathalyzer test strip should be brought to room temperature before opening the pouch. Format Test strips, collection container, package insert
