The TruTouch 1100 difference is the first noninvasive alcohol measurement device with inherent identity measurement that…

• eliminates the use of bodily fluids and disposables through the use of touch-based technology
• is simple to use – total test time in as little as 60 seconds
• the results are comparable to breath testing
• subject cooperation is limited to passive contact

How It Works
The TruTouch 1100 employs near infrared spectroscopy to measure alcohol and verify identity. The measurement involves transmitting light into the skin via contact with an optical fiber sensor. The reflected light is analyzed to determine the alcohol concentration and to verify the subject’s identity.

TruTouch has conducted numerous human alcohol dosing studies including ones sponsored by the NIH that confirmed measurement accuracy comparable to today’s breath technology.

Noninvasive Technology As Compared To Other Testing Methods
Presently there are many technologies used for alcohol testing, and all of them require: a sample of a bodily fluid, the use of a disposable, and close supervision. Most testing methods are cumbersome, require test subject cooperation, and are not capable of producing simple, minimally supervised screening with fast turnaround of test results. None can provide identity verification as an integral part of the test. These limitations have hampered widespread alcohol testing from penetrating many opportunities outside of law enforcement. The result is that the markets are underserved. There is no lengthy observation period (as with breath devices due to “mouth alcohol” concerns) or waiting for results (as with blood and urine tests).
