AK Solutions USA, LLC Introduces Breathalyzer with Exclusive World First Features

First Portable Breathalyzer to Market with Replaceable Sensor Modules

PALISADES PARK, N.J., July 11 -- AK Solutions USA, LLC, an international distributor of breathalyzer products, announced today the release of the AlcoMate Prestige breathalyzer. The AlcoMate Prestige is the first product of its kind to feature patent-pending "pre-calibrated replaceable alcohol sensor modules," which means that the Prestige is the only portable breathalyzer on the market that never requires re-calibration. The Prestige gives industry professionals a convenient and reliable method of monitoring blood alcohol concentration (BAC), and altogether eliminates the costly, time-consuming method of traditional re-calibration which involves physically shipping breathalyzers back-and-forth, to-and-from service centers. By offering simple "snap in, snap out" replacement of alcohol sensor modules, the AlcoMate Prestige can reduce the delay caused by sensors in need of calibration from several days to just several seconds.

"We had been receiving many requests from medical, law enforcement, merchant marine and other industry professionals for a breathalyzer that could be used continuously and with high volume testing," said Matthew H. Son, president of AK Solutions USA, LLC. "We believe we have cleared a major hurdle with regard to the growth and expansion of the consumer breathalyzer market."

The AlcoMate Prestige has received DOT/NHTSA approval and FDA 510(k) clearance. The device also meets current US Coast Guard requirements for on- board alcohol testing. Breathalyzers can assist in the prevention of alcohol- related motor vehicle accidents, which kill someone every 31 minutes and injure someone every 2 minutes in the US (NHTSA, 2004).

AK Solutions USA, LLC (http://www.personalalcoholtester.com/) is a market leader in the sales, distribution, development and technological integration of breath alcohol testing solutions. The company's goal is to contribute to a national network of safety procedures and protocols for the prevention of alcohol-related incidents both in and out of the workplace.
