The ALCO XS™ is a novel marine breath alcohol tester (breathalyzer) that never needs to be recalibrated. Compared to traditional breathalyzers that require annual calibration or, worse yet, the complete breathalyzer to be replaced every year, which is a tremendous waste, the ALCO XS™ saves you a tonne of money. All that is required is the annual insertion of the pre-calibrated ALCO XS™ sensor cell, which takes only a few seconds. After that, ALCO XS™ is certified accurate and ready for use for a further 12 months. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
The ALCO XS™ breathalyzer is specifically made to comply with the new “Manila Amendments” to the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW). As many breathalyzers lack the necessary precision to satisfy these new restrictions, you should check yours.
