Highway Safety Programs; Conforming
Products List of Screening Devices to
Measure Alcohol in Bodily Fluids
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This Notice amends and
updates the list of devices that conform
to the Model Specifications for
Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol
in Bodily Fluids.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 31, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. De
Carlo Ciccel, Impaired Driving Division
(NTI–111), National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, 400 Seventh
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590;
Telephone: (202) 366–1694.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
2, 1994, NHTSA published Model
Specifications for Screening Devices to
Measure Alcohol in Bodily Fluids (59
FR 39382). These specifications
established performance criteria and
methods for testing alcohol screening
devices to measure alcohol content. The
specifications support State laws that
target youthful offenders (e.g., ‘‘zero
tolerance’’ laws) and the Department of
Transportation’s workplace alcohol
testing program. NHTSA published its
first Conforming Products List (CPL) for
screening devices on December 2, 1994
(59 FR 61923, with corrections on
December 16, 1994 in 59 FR 65128),
identifying the devices that meet
NHTSA’s Model Specifications for
Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol
in Bodily Fluids. Five (5) devices
appeared on that first list. Thereafter,
NHTSA amended the CPL on August 15,
1995 (60 FR 42214) and on May 4, 2001
(66 FR 22639), adding seven (7) devices
to the CPL in those two (2) actions.
4559
On September 19, 2005, NHTSA
published an updated CPL (70 FR
54972), adding several devices to the list
and removing several other devices.
Subsequently NHTSA discovered an
error regarding the name of a device
listed on the CPL and republished the
CPL on December 5, 2005 (70 FR 72502)
to correct the error.
Since the publication of the last CPL,
NHTSA has evaluated additional
devices at the Volpe National
Transportation Systems Center (VNTSC)
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, resulting
in the addition of three (3) new breath
alcohol screening devices to the CPL.
(1) Q3 Innovations, Inc. submitted
two (2) screening devices for testing.
Their trade names are: AlcoHAWK
Micro and AlcoHAWK Slim. These
devices meet the NHTSA Model
Specifications for Screening Devices to
Measure Alcohol in Bodily Fluids.
(2) Akers Biosciences, Inc. submitted
the Breath Alcohol .02 Detection
System for testing. This device meets
the NHTSA Model Specifications for
Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol
in Bodily Fluids.
Consistent with paragraphs (1) and (2)
above, NHTSA amends the Conforming
Products List of Screening Devices to
Measure Alcohol in Bodily Fluids to
read as follows:

1 The
AlcoMate was manufactured by Han International of Seoul, Korea, but marketed and sold in the U.S. by AK Solutions.
Breath Alcohol .02 Detection System consists of a single-use disposable breath tube used in conjunction with an electronic analyzer
that determines the test result. The electronic analyzer and the disposable breath tubes are lot specific and manufactured to remain calibrated
throughout the shelf-life of the device. This screening device cannot be used after the expiration date.

3 While the ALCO–SCREEN 02 TM saliva-alcohol screening device manufactured by Chematics, Inc. passed the requirements of the Model
Specifications when tested at 40 °C (104 °F), the manufacturer has indicated that the device cannot exceed storage temperatures of 27 °C (80
°F). Instructions to this effect are stated on all packaging accompanying the device. Accordingly, the device should not be stored at temperatures
above 27 °C (80 °F). If the device is stored at or below 27 °C (80 °F) and used at higher temperatures (i.e., within a minute), the device meets
the Model Specifications and the results persist for 10–15 minutes. If the device is stored at or below 27 °C (80 °F) and equilibrated at 40 °C
(104 °F) for an hour prior to sample application, the device fails to meet the Model Specifications. Storage at temperatures above 27 °C (80 °F),
for even brief periods of time, may result in false negative readings.
4 Han International does not market or sell devices directly in the U.S. market. Other devices manufactured by Han International are listed
under AK Solutions, Inc. and Q–3 Innovations, Inc.
5 The AlcoHAWK ABI is the same device as that listed under Han International as the ‘‘ABI’’ and is manufactured for Q–3 Innovations by Han
International. The AlcoHAWK PRO is the same device as the AlcoMate marketed and sold by AK Solutions, and also manufactured by Han
International.
6 While this device passed all of the requirements of the Model Specifications, readings should be taken only after the time specified by the
manufacturer. For valid readings, the user should follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Readings should be taken one (1) minute after a sample
is introduced at or above 30°C (86°F); readings should be taken after two (2) minutes at 18°C–29°C (64.4°-84.2°F); and readings should be
taken after five (5) minutes when testing at temperatures at or below 17°C (62.6°F). If the reading is taken before five (5) minutes has elapsed
under the cold conditions, the user is likely to obtain a reading that underestimates the actual saliva-alcohol level.
