  • Publication number: 20240426805
    Abstract: A system for monitoring the sobriety of a user is provided. The system may include a testing device that generates a substance content signal. The testing device may further include a mouthpiece and a user identification device. The user identification device may generate user identification data in response to a user's breath and may transmit it from the testing device to a monitoring station. The testing device may further include at least one of an LCD screen or a light-emitting diode (“LED”) light. At least one of the LCD screen or the LED light may display at least one randomly generated visible identification indicia.

  • Publication number: 20240385171
    Abstract: A system and method of monitoring sobriety using a hand-held breath testing device that, on receipt of a user's breath, generates a breath test signal comprising substance content data and user identification data, and wirelessly transmits the breath test signal to a breath test signal receiving station. The breath test signal includes substance content data and user identification data. The substance content data includes at least one of: a blood alcohol level and a narcotics presence. The user identification data includes compressed image data. The signal receiving station is monitored by a supervisor who is able to intervene should the substance level be greater than a predetermined threshold, or should the user identification data no match with a reference user identification data.

  • Publication number: 20240306937
    Abstract: Systems, methods and devices are disclosed for monitoring sobriety using a hand-held breath testing device. The hand-held breath testing device comprises a sample pump which utilizes a bellows assembly to draw an air sample through an inlet port and into the sample pump. The sample pump comprises a bi-stable spring and nitinol-based structures which cause the pump to actuate and allow the bellows to expand and compress. The sample pump can be utilized with other sampling devices, including but not limited to medical devices, wherein a sampling of a measured volume of gas is desired.
