Alco Screen Saliva Alcohol Test is a 2-minute saliva semi-quantitative screening test used to estimate Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) using human saliva. The test strip estimates BAC at levels of 0.00%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.08%, and 0.3%. It is designed for use in diagnosing alcohol use or intoxication.

The Alco Screen Saliva Alcohol Test consists of a plastic strip with a test pad attached at the tip. The test pad reacts with alcohol in saliva, changing to shades of green-gray to blue based on the presence and amount of alcohol detected.

Features:

• Dipstick format
• Results in two minutes
• Semi-quantitative results
• Convenient test procedure
• Stores at room temperature
• Can test beverages for alcohol
• Two-minute saliva test for alcohol

Reagents:

The test pad contains tetramethylbenzidine, alcohol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.13), peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) and other non-active ingredients.

Directions For Use:

Before you begin:

• DO NOT place anything into mouth for 15 minutes before testing.
• Remove test package from the box and let it reach room temperature.
• Open package immediately before testing.
• Inspect the test pad. The test pad should be a cream color. If the test pad is tan or otherwise discolored, do not use the test.

Specimen Collection and Handling:

1. Using a clean dry Solo Cup (P100, 1oz, clear polystyrene), simply spit into the cup.
2. Make sure you collect enough saliva to completely wet the test pad.
3. Do not place anything in the saliva sample.
4. Immediately start procedure.

Procedure:

1. Wet test pad with saliva for 5 seconds then remove. Start the timer immediately.
2. At 2 minutes compare color of test pad to the color chart on the test package.
3. Estimate the BAC by reading the number printed below the color block that best matches the color of the test pad.

Note: Results read after 2 minutes, 30 seconds may not be accurate.

Storage And Handling:

• Do not freeze.
• Do not store at temperature above 80ºF (27ºC) or below 50ºF (10ºC).

Test Results:

Negative:

The test pad shows no color change and matches the Negative color block on the foil package.

Positive:

The test pad shows a color change from light green-gray color at 0.02% BAC to a dark blue-gray color near 0.30% BAC.

Materials:

Materials Provided:

• Twenty-four (24) individually packaged tests per box
• One ALCO-SCREEN test strip per foil package
• One instruction sheet

Materials Needed But Not Included:

• Timer
• Clean Collection Cup: Solo Cup P100 (1oz.)

Precautions:

• For in vitro diagnostic use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use past the expiration date printed on the foil package.
• Do not use if the package is unsealed or damaged.
• Do not open test package until ready to use.
• Before testing saliva sample compare the color of the unused test strip to the negative (0.0%) color block. If the unused test strip is darker than the negative color block, this may indicate that the device has deteriorated during storage and should not be used.
• Read the test under incandescent, fluorescent, or indirect sunlight.
• Do not read the test under mercury or sodium vapor light.
• This test should not be interpreted by persons who are color-blind or are visually impaired.
• The test pad is very sensitive to alcohol and will react if there are alcohol vapors present in the air. Safeguards must be taken regarding the use of hand sanitizers containing ethyl alcohol (i.e. ethanol) by persons performing the test. Perform the test in an area free of alcohol vapors.
• Do not re-use the test.
• Dispose of properly.
• The test only provides an estimate of the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). It should not be used as a tool to determine if it is safe for the user to operate machinery or a motor vehicle.
• Results from this test may not be used for legal proceedings
