    image

    Every year in the world there are many car accidents associated with the fact that the driver of a vehicle got behind the wheel slightly (or even slightly) drunk. Moreover, most of these drivers, in general, are adequate people, but alcohol, as you know, affects the mind. In order to understand whether to drive after a couple of bottles of beer or a cocktail, the tiny DrinkMate breathalyzer was created, which works in conjunction with the iPhone smartphone.

    Determining whether you can drive after a great holiday is very simple - you just need to breathe on the DrinkMate, and after a few seconds to get the result on the smartphone screen. Such a gadget should be used by both one person and a whole group - for example, employees of the company after a corporate party.





    How it works?


    1) Connect DrinkMate to the phone;
    2) Install the software;
    3) Follow the instructions of the program;
    4) We get the result!

    To determine the alcohol content in human blood (SAC), the developers placed a semiconductor sensor in the device’s body. In this case, the readings are quite accurate, ± 0.01% of NAO with a NAO of 0.02%.


    No problem, let's go!

    The surface structure of the sensor is such that alcohol quickly disappears, cleaning the surface, so that measurements can be repeated after just a few seconds (for example, several people want to test themselves at once).



    The maximum indicator is 0.20% of NAO, but in this case a person is unlikely to stand on his own.

    The accuracy of the device was verified using calibration equipment from Lifeloc Technologies, one of the world leaders in the development of breath analyzers.

    What about food?


    This gadget is also interesting in that it does not have its own power source, due to which it was possible to significantly reduce the size of the working part. DrinkMate receives energy from a smartphone when connected to a microUSB port. Consumption is small, only 30-80 mA when working for 7 seconds.



    Characteristics


    • Device Length: 48mm
    • Diameter: 16mm
    • DrinkMate weighs only 5, 5 grams.




    Compatibility


    The DrinkMate breathalyzer will work with any mobile device with a USB port, with Android 3.1 or higher. The DrinkMate iOS version works with any Apple smartphone or tablet with an Apple Lightening connector.

    Where can I buy this miracle of technology?


    In Russia, you can purchase a miniature DrinkMate breathalyzer from Medgadgets . The price of the device is quite affordable, while the gadget can save more than one life (well, the nerves of the driver’s relatives and friends are so accurate).
