The truth is that a breathalyser can last up to a lifetime if used and maintained properly. Having worked as a breathalyser technician for years now, I've come across many customers with the same issues.

A majority of these issues stem from the same thing - poor maintenance and lack of knowledge in how to use and care for their breathalyser. All our breathalyser manuals mention the above yet many customers miss this important notice. There may still be residue in your mouth from drinks, foods, cigarette smoke, or mouthwash, which can affect the breath sample you blow into a breathalyser and give you a false reading.

Apart from that, smoke or other chemicals can also damage the internal breathalyser sensor. Therefore it is extremely important that you wait at least 20 minutes to clear any leftover residue in your mouth before blowing into the device. Spit or excessive moisture from your breath sample can damage or shorten the life of the internal sensor. The mouthpiece will trap moisture from getting to the sensor, but alcohol residue may remain in the mouthpiece, therefore reusing your mouthpieces will affect breathalyser readings.

If your breathalyser has passive or fast mode testing, there is no need to use a mouthpiece. However, you should take care not to blow any saliva into the mouthpiece slot when taking the test. Sometimes, a device requires a certain voltage to operate, and the gradual voltage drop-off of a heavy duty cell causes it to fail even when it has significant charge left in it.

This is why we recommend alkaline, non-rechargeable, non-heavy duty batteries. Of course, this advice does not apply to you if your breathalyser uses a rechargeable battery :.

Continuing to use the breathalyser when the batteries are exhausted may affect the reading. Also, be sure to use brand new batteries, not batteries taken from another device. If your breathalyser uses a rechargeable battery and it is showing a low battery signal, then it's best to recharge it using the included battery charger.
