Lifeloc rolls out breathalyzer kiosks

August 19, 2013

Lifeloc Technologies, a manufacturer of professional breathalyzers, announced the immediate availability of its new zero tolerance ZT247 breath alcohol testing kiosk. The new system automates routine testing, reporting and tracking of alcohol offenders in DUI and related sobriety programs.

The ZT247 kiosk improves offender authentication, reduces test-taking time and enhances recordkeeping while significantly cutting the costs associated with manual breathalyzer testing, the announcement said.

The automated system enables alcohol offender testing and reporting to be done in real time through a secure Internet connection without direct officer involvement.

For administrators, real-time notifications of alcohol violations are delivered to designated officers via email or text messages, and a searchable database provides for easy summary reporting including client test history, failed and no show reporting, according to the release.

For offenders, the ZT247 provides secure touchscreen log-in with security monitoring from the built-in video camera and fingerprint matching. BAC capture is automated through the on-board Lifeloc breath alcohol testing mechanism, and client credit card and cash payment options are also available to support offender pay models.

"Current twice daily offender alcohol testing programs require a significant commitment of time, money and administrative resources," said Glen Campbell, law enforcement and corrections business manager for Lifeloc Technologies. "While a great deal of innovation has been made in continuous alcohol monitoring and ignition interlock technology, little has been done until now to streamline and automate the one-on-one officer/client breath testing that takes place in breath testing centers across the country."
