PAS IV Passive Alcohol Sensor with High-Intensity Flashlight
The PAS IC Screening System combines: a) high-intensity, super-beam flashlight technology with b) a dynamic
sampling system and c) a miniature alcohol sensor. It “sniffs” ambient air, the breath, open containers, or enclosed
spaces for the presence of alcohol. The PAS functions as a non-intrusive “extension of the operator’s nose.
The PAS is a hand-held, rapid alcohol detection instrument using a platinum electrochemical fuel cell sensor of high
alcohol specificity, accuracy and stability. Designed for law enforcement, industry, corrections, transportation
agencies, and educational facilities. The operator-controlled sampling system guarantees accurate detection of
alcohol and is especially suited for quick subsequent measurements.
The PAS is used to check alcohol/absence with or without a subject’s direct participation. When used without the
subject’s direct participation it is known s passive sampling, as opposed to active testing where the subject blows
directly into a mouthpiece or the intake port. The PAS can also be used to detect open containers of alcoholic
beverages, or to detect low, ambient levels of alcohol in enclosed spaces such as vehicles, jail cells, or classrooms.
