About the GetTested Alcohol Test

The GetTested Alcohol Test is a quick and easy rapid test that measures blood alcohol concentration (BAC) using a saliva sample. It is well-known that the alcohol concentration in saliva is very similar to that in blood, which makes the test a reliable method for determining your blood alcohol level. The test works through a special enzymatic reaction that causes a color change, depending on the amount of alcohol in the sample.

How to use the test – Step-by-Step

To obtain accurate results with the alcohol test, follow these steps:

• Preparation: Remove the plastic device from the sealed pouch and place it on a flat surface.
• Apply saliva: Bring the reaction pad into contact with your saliva and wait 3-5 minutes for the results.
• Interpretation of results: After 3-5 minutes, the reaction pad will change color depending on the alcohol concentration in your blood. Use the color chart on the foil packaging to compare and estimate your relative BAC value.

Understanding Your Test Results

• Positive: A color change on the reaction pad indicates that alcohol is present in the saliva. The color scale ranges from light blue at 0.02% to dark blue at 0.30% relative BAC.
• Negative: If no color change occurs, the test indicates that no alcohol is present in the saliva.
• Invalid: If the test does not work as expected (e.g., if the color of the pad does not change at all), the result may be invalid and the test should not be used.

The Importance of Correct Use

To obtain reliable results, it is important to use the GetTested Alcohol Test correctly. The test can detect alcohol concentrations from 0.02% to 0.30%, thus providing an accurate indication of blood alcohol content. The test is sensitive to various types of alcohol (methyl, ethyl, and allyl alcohol). However, it is generally not affected by other substances in saliva.

The product is CE marked and complies with European safety standards for use by professional users.
