Lion Alcoblow PF

The Lion AlcoBlow PF is a non-invasive, low-cost way to run rapid pass/fail breath alcohol screening, designed for "zero-alcohol" workplaces. It uses a Lion fuel cell sensor, has just two control buttons, and - unlike conventional breath alcohol instruments - uses no mouthpieces at all.

Why choose the Lion AlcoBlow PF

Having no mouthpieces changes the economics and the practicality of screening. The instrument makes no physical contact with the subject, so there are no disposables to buy, stock, hand out or dispose of, and the cost per test is very low. For a site testing a whole shift at the gate, consumables are normally the entire running cost - removing them is what makes routine screening of everyone affordable rather than occasional.

The fuel cell sensor is the reason to choose an instrument like this over a cheap semiconductor unit. Fuel cell sensors have high specificity to alcohol, meaning they respond to ethanol rather than to the other substances on a person's breath, and they have a long, stable working life. A screener that produces false positives destroys trust in the programme faster than no screening at all.

It is deliberately simple. Two control buttons and a single LED showing the result mean training requirements are minimal and the person operating it does not need to be a technician. Dual-mode operation covers different testing situations - in active mode the subject blows into the cone and a breath sample is taken - so one instrument handles the range of circumstances a workplace encounters.

Common uses

Mining, construction, transport and logistics, manufacturing, rail and marine operations - anywhere a zero-alcohol policy applies and a whole crew needs screening at shift start without a queue. Alcohol screening usually sits inside a broader site safety programme, alongside compliant first aid provision such as the SURVIVAL Workplace First Aid Kit and clear signage like a medium poly first aid sign.
