Intoximeters is the leading manufacturer of breathalyzers available to the law enforcement. One of the most popular breathalyzer manufactured by Intoximeters is the Alco Sensor IV. This article will review the Intoximeters Alco Sensor IV breathalyzer.

In addition to the Alco Sensor IV breathalyzer, Intoximeters offers other portable and stationary breath testing machines to determine the amount of alcohol in a person's body. Last year I had the opportunity to go back to St Louis and become certified as an instructor and maintenance manager for the Intoximeters Alco Sensor IV breathalyzer. I had been using this breathalyzer for about 6 years prior to this.

The Intoximeters Alco Sensor IV is an automated hand held evidential breathalyzer. The breathalyzer is equipped with an internal fuel cell that quantifies the alcohol in the provided sample. The great thing about this breathalyzer is the user doesn't have to know how the device actually works internally to properly use it. The Alco Sensor IV breathalyzer is very simple to use and very accurate.

My current fleet of Intoximeters Alco Sensor IV breathalyzers are equipped with a memory device. This allows all of the tests to be saved and downloaded onto a special program designed by Intoximeters. This program makes it very easy for me to produce professional looking reports when I am subpoenaed for them. The current breathalyzers that my agency owns range in age from 11 years old to brand new. The only problems I have had with the Alco Sensor IV breathalyzers were with the very old ones and that was just a software update that was needed to be compatible with the program.

Overall, the Intoximeters Alco Sensor IV breathalyzer is great and I would highly recommend it for any police officer or police agency looking to buy a breathalyzer.
