Price: $395.00


The PAS Vr is an advanced portable breath alcohol tester (PBT) featuring both passive alcohol screening (no mouthpiece needed) and direct measurements (using a mouthpiece) with the flip of a switch.

The PAS Vr portable breath alcohol tester offers true passive alcohol screening and active breath testing capabilities in one device. Its' dual functionality makes it ideal for screening multiple subjects quickly and then providing quantitative confirmation with a flip of a switch.

Passive Mode: A push of a button, activates the sampling system which draws air into the sensor - NO mouthpiece and NO blowing required. Once a sample is analyzed, a light sensor utilizing nine colored bars will illuminate, from green to red - the more alcohol present, the more bars glow. The user can screen a subject in as little as 15 seconds to determine if alcohol is present on a subject's breath. The PAS Vr can also be used to screen an open container for the presence of alcohol. In passive mode, the PAS Vr is a cost-effective and reliable means of screening for alcohol in Zero Tolerance settings such as school dances, sporting events and on campus.

Active Mode: If alcohol is detected in the passive screening mode, the device can be switched to active/direct mode for verification of the level of alcohol. Once a mouthpiece is attached in active mode, the PAS Vr is a NHTSA certified Alcohol Screening Device (ASD). A numeric value is indicated on the bar graph display verifying the subject's deep lung alcohol concentration (BrAC).
