Notice:
*Breath alcohol detectors are classified as Medical Devices by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Manufacturers must obtain premarketing clearance from the FDA prior to selling such devices in the United States. The process of submitting what is referred to as a 510(k) to the FDA is complex, and results in an extensive review of the safety and effectiveness of the product. Selling a personal breath alcohol detector without FDA market clearance is a violation of the law.
