iBreath iPod Breathalyzer

Filed under: OTC

What do you get when a device combines a breathalyzer and an FM transmitter? Correcto: you get a breathalyzer and an FM transmitter! Soon available from David Steele Enterprises, the iBreath gadget lets "revelers check their own blood alcohol content to make sure they haven't had too much to drink before getting behind the wheel of an automobile." And if everything is swell, you have your favorite tunes playing through the radio as you go on your merry way.

iBreath is a fully functioning personal alcohol breathalyzer, which also sports an FM transmitter that wirelessly sends iPod tunes to any FM radio.

"Young people may not listen to parents or party hosts, but they do listen to their iPods," says Don Bassler, David Steele Enterprises Founder and CEO, "Parents who have given the iBreath to family members confirm that iBreath users are more aware of their alcohol consumption and when they should not drive. It also makes a great holiday gift.".

The holiday season brings office parties and celebrations with friends, and also tends to be the biggest time of year for the consumption of alcohol. It's vitally important to be aware of ones alcohol consumption level and iBreath helps party goers think while they drink. It's a life-saving product that enables legal-age drinking adults to party intelligently and responsibly.

It's simple to use. Just fold out the blow wand and exhale into it for at least 5 seconds. Seconds later, this potential jail-saving tool will let users know if they're within the legal limit to drive. It even contains a timer that can be set from 1 minute up to 8 hours in order to remind users when to test again.

I think the iBreath is the next best thing to sliced bread! This is a great tool for those drinking just a tad more than a designated driver, and still needing to drive. Makes sense to have a tool that tells you if you’ve had too much to drink. Austin

The iBreath is an innovative gadget. iPods are so widely used, particularly by the younger generation that it could actually see a good adoption rate. The thing i wonder about is if this will be used as it is intended as a helpful gadget or if it will simply be an amusing toy. If it can keep a few people off of the road then I think its worth it.

BAC measurement devices for personal use are widely available-- this product does not represent a new function. This device is only "innovative" if it somehow causes widespread modification of drunk driving behavior, which is highly unlikely.

A must for iPod owners who love to drink and party out. A good excuse to get an iPod.

All breathalyzers sold to consumers must be FDA cleared. This one is not. If you want an accurate breathalyzer its best to use fuel cell technology which is what the police and professionals use. this device is not fuel cell based. Buyer beware.
