ALCOTEST 6820 – Professional Breathalyzer for Employee Screening

The Dräger ALCOTEST 6820 has been discontinued. See ALCOTEST 7000.

The ALCOTEST 6820 is a professional breathalyzer designed for employee screening. The successor to the Alcotest 6810 and Alcotest 6510—which have proven themselves through decades of reliable service—this breathalyzer uses the same sensor as the flagship Alcotest 7510. A proven brand, improved housing durability, and a high-quality electrochemical sensor are, in short, the features that rank the Alcotest 6820 among the most reliable devices for professional use.

Advantages of the ALCOTEST 6820

Testing Speed

The ALCOTEST 6820 offers significantly faster measurement speeds, especially compared to the German manufacturer’s flagship breathalyzer, the ALCOTEST 7510. This is an advantage in cases of repeated testing, such as during mass sobriety checks of employees. After being turned on, the ALCOTEST 6820 enters test-ready mode in no more than 5 seconds, and the analysis of the sample is practically instantaneous.

Durable Design

Every professional breathalyzer must be highly durable. Thanks to its improved design and high-quality construction, the ALCOTEST 6820 breathalyzer meets the highest standards of professionals. Housed in a sturdy casing, this breathalyzer is highly reliable in operation. It is resistant to the effects of harsh weather conditions, such as cold, dust, or humidity.

Easy and Intuitive Operation

Working with employees, especially those under the influence of alcohol, requires concentration. With the ALCOTEST 6820 professional breathalyzer, all functions are controlled via the central button. The easy-to-understand messages on the well-lit display will guide the employees responsible for testing through the measurement procedure without error. LEDs and audible signals reinforce the display readings and indicate when the measurement is complete. The two menu buttons facilitate navigation through the settings menu.

Ergonomic Design

The ALCOTEST 6820’s housing features an ergonomic design that is comfortable to use with one hand. Thanks to its intuitive shape, the mouthpiece is easy to insert, even in the dark, regardless of whether the user is left- or right-handed. This ensures that the display is always in the inspector’s line of sight. After use, the mouthpiece can be removed with just a light push, without direct contact with the fingers, safely and hygienically reducing the risk of pathogen transmission.

The wide, sturdy wrist strap ensures secure handling of this breathalyzer.

Top-of-the-line electrochemical sensor

The ALCOTEST 6820 is equipped with a proven, professional-grade electrochemical alcohol sensor from the German manufacturer. It is characterized by a very short response time, accuracy, reliability, and durability. Measurements remain accurate both at sub-zero temperatures and in extreme heat. Even at high alcohol concentrations, the sensor always delivers reliable and repeatable results. The same sensor is used in the ALCOTEST 7510 police breathalyzer.

Large Internal Memory

The Dräger ALCOTEST 6820 has a large internal memory that stores data from the last 5,000 tests. Each result is assigned a unique number, date, and time.

Easy printing of results at the test site

Using the ALCOTEST 6820’s optical IR interface, measurement results can be printed wirelessly from a mobile printer (optional). With the AlcoView software—an optional feature—measurement data is transferred to a computer for subsequent review, analysis, and archiving. The software is intuitive and allows for easy viewing and exporting to Excel. It also allows you to configure the breathalyzer from the computer.

Available Consumables

One of the key factors when choosing a professional breathalyzer is the cost of consumables. With the Alcotest 6820 breathalyzer, you can use both the manufacturer’s original mouthpieces and affordable compatible mouthpieces, allowing companies to optimize their employee testing costs.

Flexible Configuration

The Dräger ALCOTEST 6820 allows for a variety of configurations, tailored to user requirements or local regulations.
