INTENDED USE

INVBIO Rapid Drink Alcohol Test is intended for use as a rapid method to detect the presence of alcohol in water, Soda (CoCo Cola, Sprite, etc) and lemonade drinks with concentrations greater than 0.04%.

The rapid test is intended for the screening detection of ethyl alcohol in drinks. To confirm the concentration of positive specimens, an alternate, non-enzymatic technology such as headspace gas chromatography should be used.

EXPLANATION OF THE TEST

Alcohol intoxication can lead to loss of alertness, coma, death and as well as birth defects. The BAC at which a person becomes impaired is variable. The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has established a BAC of 0.02% (0.02g/dL) as the cut-off level at which an individual is considered positive for the presence of alcohol. ^1-3 Since some of drinks itself may contain small amount of alcohol, normally lower than 0.05%, the cutoff concentration for alcohol in drinks was set at 0.04%.
