Mouthpiece-Free One-Button Operation
The Alcoscan AL-2500 Prime Personal Breathalyser (VM-ATAL2500P) is designed for quick, discreet breath alcohol checks without accessories or setup. A single button powers the device on and initiates the measurement — no mouthpiece is required, and no configuration is needed before use. A visible countdown display shows the device processing as it analyses the breath sample before delivering the result. The semiconductor sensor measures breath alcohol content across three units: 0.00–4.00‰, 0.00–0.40% BAC, and 0.00–2.00 mg/l BrAC, giving the user a result in the measurement format most familiar to them.
Backlit Display, Acoustic Alarm, and Battery Management
The backlit digital display ensures the result is clearly readable in low-light conditions, including at night or in dimly lit environments. A three-level acoustic alarm — three tones matched to the level of the displayed reading — provides an additional alert without requiring the user to focus on the screen. A battery charge indicator warns before power is depleted, and automatic shutdown prevents unnecessary battery drain between uses. The device is powered by AA batteries, which are included in the box.
Compact Form Factor and Important Usage Note
The VM-ATAL2500P measures 4×10.4×2cm and weighs 85g with batteries — compact enough to carry in a shirt pocket, handbag, or glove compartment for ready availability. The lightweight plastic housing is practical for everyday carry. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the AL-2500 Prime is designed for personal guidance use only. It carries no official certification, and its readings are not legally binding. It is not intended for evidential, law enforcement, occupational compliance, or any formal or professional testing purpose. If you have consumed alcohol, do not drive.
