Product Description
The BACtrack S80 Pro is a professional breathalyzer that quickly estimates blood alcohol content (BAC). The S80 Pro is the perfect choice for law enforcement, hospitals, clinics, businesses, and for personal use anytime fuel cell accuracy is required. The advantages of the S80 Pro's Xtend Fuel Cell Technology are numerous. First, the S80 Pro provides 4 digit test results that can pickup trace amounts of alcohol - for example, 0.002 %BAC. This is helpful in zero-tolerance environments where subjects may have had only a small amount of alcohol. Next, the Xtend fuel cell technology extends the range of accuracy all the way from 0.000 - 0.400. Because the S80 Pro shows a linear response to measured alcohol, the S80 Pro will provide more accurate results over the complete range of alcohol concentrations. The benefit of the S80 Pro's Xtend technology also applies to the life of the sensor. The S80 Pro has an extended sensor life as compared to standard semiconductor-based breathalyzers, and will require less frequent service and maintenance. Finally, the Xtend technology also extends the useable battery life up to 1500 tests per set of AA batteries.

Four-Digit Test Results Available in Seconds
The S80 Pro features simple one-button operation that allows you to begin testing in just 10 seconds, with a refresh time of 10 to 20 seconds between tests. Providing accurate four-digit results on a bright LCD screen, the S80 is capable of detecting trace amounts of alcohol, an important feature in zero-tolerance environments such as treatment centers and alcohol-free homes.Compact and convenient enough to take anywhere, the cell-phone-sized breathalyzer fits easily in pockets, purses, or glove compartments, and it accommodates 1,500 tests per set of AA batteries.  Enhanced Fuel-Cell Sensor Ensures Accurate Measurements
Utilizing Xtend™ Sensor Technology, the S80 boasts greater accuracy than semiconductor-based sensors, which are subject to interference from acetone, a compound often found in individuals who have diabetes or who are on low-calorie diets. Xtend Sensor Technology also ensures accurate readouts at high blood-alcohol concentrations. For added accuracy, the S80 uses temperature-checking, user-adjustable warning levels and an interior miniature air pump to precisely collect breath samples.

 Very Accurate Breathalyzer September 9, 2009
K. Walker (West Chester, PA)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I purchased the BacTrack S80 in August from amazon and I am extremely pleased with the product. First and probably most important, it seems to give very accurate results. Three years ago I received one of those cheap keychain units as a gift and it read all over the map and never worked well. Here, with this product, if I test myself 3 times in a row I get the same test result 3 times, so you know it's consistent. And if I test a sober person and then a very drunk person, there is no crossover or contamination, which is something I worried about (and really researched) before this purchase. So $199 is not cheap, but you get what you pay for here in terms of accuracy.
Besides being happy with the accuracy, I really like the small size. I have an LG Envy phone and the Bactrack S80 is almost the same size. I didn't consider size prior to my purchase, but because it's portable, I'm much more likely to take the BacTrack out when I drink, which is really the whole point of having it.
I appreciate the advanced features and being able to adjust the flow settings, but mainly I just turn it on and test. As of today, I'm already on test # 144. Yeah, it's been passed around and used by a lot of people already. 5 stars for its accuracy and reliability alone.
This one really works! May 21, 2009

I normally don't write reviews but felt like I had to with the S80. This is a really great unit. I can't beleive how small and how accuarate the readings are. My friend is a police office and we tested the S80 against one of his units and they were dead on with the readings. I had bought some cheaper units in the past that didn't seem to work too well but the S80 is the real deal. Definitely worth paying a few bucks more to get the real deal.
i was pleasantly surprised September 5, 2009

After girlfriend got a DUI, I bought her one of these. She was skeptical, but after testing it many nights in a row (drinking in the name of research of course), we were pleasantly surprised to find it very accurate. It's expensive but its absolutely worth it for the quality. I can't believe that the police are the only ones who have access to these. By the time you're using it with a cop, its usually too late. FYI - the instructions say that you want to wait 15 to 20 minutes after you've had a drink, otherwise it'll pick up the alcohol still in your mouth and read too high.
The one I ordered came promptly with nice packaging. I'm here on Amazon because I'm ordering another one for myself.
Easier to use and even more accurate than before September 6, 2009

I have owned the B70 for a few years now and it was a great product. It has saved my friends and I many times, and also provided some great entertainment.
I just got the new S80 and I'm very impressed with the improvements that have been made. First, it is easier to use correctly (simply blow into like normally as opposed to "fogging the mirror" like the B70). This has made it simpler for people who don't use the breathalyzer often to get accurate readings.
I also really like the extra digit of precision this model offers, particularly when approaching the .08 number ;)
I've had a breathalyzer for years now and I can't recommend enough that people own one. This product is MUCH cheaper than the costs of any DUI you would ever get.
Consistently accurate. Much better than my last. Love it! October 5, 2009

I believe this model to be much more accurate than my $100 alcomate. I say this as a group of us can do multiple back-to-back tests, and come back to someone and have the same results as our original test. You can't go wrong with this purchase!
