Why buy a Lifeloc FC10?

If you want an extremely accurate breathalyser that will last a very long time, you need a Lifeloc FC10.

The Lifeloc FC10 is a top-quality breathalyser that is the perfect choice for anyone wanting an accurate and durable breathalyser that will last a very long time.

Personal breathalysers are an excellent investment

  • They are a great way to keep yourself, friends, and family safe.
  • They are great for understanding how your body metabolises alcohol over time and can inform responsible choices.
  • They can save you hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars by preventing you from driving with alcohol in your system and being checked by the Police.
  • The Lifeloc FC10 uses the same fuel cell sensor technology as the Police breathalysers, so will give you an accurate and reliable digital reading of your alcohol level – in fact, it is used by the Police in most states of the USA.
  • The Lifeloc FC10 has the advantage of having different test modes, so you can test with or without a mouthpiece. No waiting around for test results.
