SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
2, 1994, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (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 (59 FR 65128), identifying the
devices that meet NHTSA’s Model
Specifications for Screening Devices to

Measure Alcohol in Bodily Fluids. Five
devices appeared on that first list.
Thereafter, NHTSA updated the CPL on
August 15, 1995 (60 FR 42214), May 4,
2001 (66 FR 22639), September 19, 2005
(70 FR 54972), with corrections on
December 5, 2005 (70 FR 72502), and
January 31, 2007 (72 FR 4559).
On March 31, 2008, NHTSA
published revised Model Specifications
for Screening Devices to Measure
Alcohol in Bodily Fluids (73 FR 16956).
These specifications removed testing of
interpretive screening devices (ISDs)
because ISDs did not provide an
unambiguous test result. These
specifications also removed from use
the Breath Alcohol Sample Simulator as
it is not necessary for testing breath
alcohol screening devices. All other
performance criteria and test methods
were maintained. NHTSA last published
an update to the CPL on December 15,
2009 (74 FR 66398). It listed 39 devices.
Today, NHTSA adds nine (9)
additional alcohol screening devices
that have been evaluated and found to
conform to the Model Specifications for
Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol
in Bodily Fluids. One device is
distributed by two different companies,
so it has been listed twice, for a total of
ten (10) new entries on this CPL.
(1) AK Solutions USA, LLC,
submitted the AlcoMate SafeGuard
(Model AL–2500, aka: AlcoScan AL–
2500) alcohol screening device. This is
a handheld, battery powered device
with a semiconductor sensor.
(2) Alcohol Countermeasure Systems
Corp., submitted the DRIVESAFE
alcohol screening device. This is a
handheld, battery powered device with
a fuel cell sensor.
(3) KHN Solutions, LLC, submitted 2
screening devices for testing. Their trade
names are: BACTRACK Element and the
BACTRACK S75 Pro. Both devices are
handheld, battery powered with fuel
cell sensors.
(4) PAS Systems International, Inc.
submitted the Alcovisor MARS
screening device. This is a handheld,
battery powered device with a fuel cell
sensor.
(5) Q3 Innovations, Inc. submitted the
CA2010 screening device. This is a
handheld, battery powered device with
a semiconductor sensor.
(6) Skyfine Inc. Ltd. submitted 3
devices (AT577, AT578, and AT579).
All three devices are handheld, battery
powered, and use fuel cell sensors. The
AT578 is also distributed by Express
Diagnostics Int’l, Blue Earth, Minnesota
under the trade name of AlcoCheck
FC90, so it has been listed twice on the
CPL, once under each of its distributors/
manufacturers.
All of the above devices meet the
NHTSA Model Specifications for
Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol
in Bodily Fluids.
Consistent with the above, NHTSA
updates the Conforming Products List of
Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol
in Bodily Fluids to read as follows:

The device comes with 4 detectors including the one that was already installed.
6 These devices utilize replaceable semiconductor detectors. Instead of re-calibrating the device, a new calibrated detector can be installed.
This device comes with 5 detectors including the one that was already installed.
7 While these devices are still being sold, they are no longer manufactured or supported.
8 The 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.
9 While the ALCO–SCREEN 02TM 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.
10 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 °F–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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 5, 1973, the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) published the Standards for
Devices to Measure Breath Alcohol
(38 FR 30459). A Qualified Products List
of Evidential Breath Measurement
Devices comprised of instruments that
met this standard was first issued on
November 21, 1974 (39 FR 41399).
On December 14, 1984 (49 FR 48854),
NHTSA converted this standard to
Model Specifications for Evidential
Breath Testing Devices (Model
Specifications), and published a
Conforming Products List (CPL) of
instruments that were found to conform
to the Model Specifications as
Appendix D to that notice. Those
instruments are identified on the CPL
with an asterisk.

On September 17, 1993, NHTSA
published a notice to amend the Model
Specifications (58 FR 48705) and to
update the CPL. That notice changed the
alcohol concentration levels at which
instruments are evaluated, from 0.000,
0.050, 0.101, and 0.151 BAC, to 0.000,
0.020, 0.040, 0.080, and 0.160 BAC,
respectively. It also included a test for
the presence of acetone and an
expanded definition of alcohol to
include other low molecular weight
alcohols, e.g., methyl or isopropyl.
Since that time, the CPL has been
annotated to indicate which instruments
have been determined to meet the
Model Specifications published in 1984,
and which have been determined to
meet the Model Specifications, as
revised and published in 1993.
Thereafter, NHTSA has periodically
updated the CPL with those breath
instruments found to conform to the
Model Specifications. The most recent
update to the CPL was published March
11, 2010 (75 FR 11624).
The CPL published today adds nine
(9) new instruments that have been
evaluated and found to conform to the
Model Specifications, as amended on

\1\ The AlcoMate was manufactured by Han International of Seoul, Korea,
but marketed and sold in the U.S. by AK Solutions.
\2\ Manufactured by Seju Engineering, Korea.
\3\ 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 Q3 Innovations, Inc.
\4\ Manufactured by Sentech Korea Corp.
\5\ These devices utilize replaceable semiconductor detectors. Instead
of re-calibrating the device, a new calibrated detector can be
installed. The device comes with 4 detectors including the one that
was already installed.
\6\ These devices utilize replaceable semiconductor detectors. Instead
of re-calibrating the device, a new calibrated detector can be
installed. This device comes with 5 detectors including the one that
was already installed.
\7\ While these devices are still being sold, they are no longer
manufactured or supported.
\8\ The Breath Alcohol [check] .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.
\9\ While the ALCO-SCREEN 02TM saliva-alcohol screening device
manufactured by Chematics, Inc. passed the requirements of the Model
Specifications when tested at 40 [deg]C (104 [deg]F), the manufacturer
has indicated that the device cannot exceed storage temperatures of 27
[deg]C (80 [deg]F). Instructions to this effect are stated on all
packaging accompanying the device. Accordingly, the device should not
be stored at temperatures above 27 [deg]C (80 [deg]F). If the device
is stored at or below 27 [deg]C (80 [deg]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 [deg]C (80[emsp14] [deg]F) and
equilibrated at 40 [deg]C (104 [deg]F) for an hour prior to sample
application, the device fails to meet the Model Specifications.
Storage at temperatures above 27 [deg]C (80 [deg]F), for even brief
periods of time, may result in false negative readings.
\10\ 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 [deg]C (86 [deg]F);
readings should be taken after two (2) minutes at 18 [deg]C-29 [deg]C
(64.4 [deg]F-84.2 [deg]F); and readings should be taken after five (5)
minutes when testing at temperatures at or below 17 [deg]C (62.6
[deg]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.
