I think they were confiscated by Customs, I didn't receive them.
I was in Cape Town last September and had a box and they were so helpful after my hernia surgery.
Thank you for contacting me.

Product Overview
U-Test Alcohol 4032 (1's) is a disposable, single-use breathalyzer test designed for the rapid detection of alcohol in human breath. It is a highly sensitive screening tool used to indicate whether a person's breath alcohol content (BrAC) is above or below a specific limit—typically calibrated to the South African legal driving limit of 0.05g per 100ml (or 0.24mg/l). This product is widely used by individuals for self-testing, as well as in professional, school, and workplace environments to promote safety and responsible drinking.
What the Product Is Used For
- Sobriety Screening: Provides a quick "on-the-spot" indication of alcohol consumption.
- Driving Safety: Helps individuals determine if they are likely over the legal limit before operating a vehicle.
- Workplace & School Safety: Used for rapid screening of employees or students in safety-sensitive environments.
- Event Monitoring: Useful for hosts or organizations to ensure guests are safe to travel after a social function.
Key Benefits
- Immediate Results: The chemical reaction provides a visual result within minutes.
- Highly Portable: The compact, lightweight tube and bag can be carried in a pocket, glove box, or handbag.
- No Calibration Needed: Unlike digital breathalyzers, this disposable unit is factory-calibrated and maintenance-free.
- Cost-Effective: An inexpensive alternative to high-end electronic testers for occasional use.
- CE Marked: Manufactured to international quality and safety standards.
Active Ingredients / Principle
The test utilizes a chemical oxidation-reduction reaction:
- Reactive Crystals: The tube contains yellow/white crystals (often containing potassium dichromate).
- Color Change: When breath containing alcohol passes through the tube, the crystals undergo a chemical change, turning from white/yellow to red or green/blue (depending on the specific model's reagent).
- Detection Level: Calibrated to show a positive result at approximately 0.05g/100ml.
Dosage Form / Format
A single-use glass or plastic tube containing reactive crystals, typically accompanied by a breath collection bag (balloon) to ensure a measured volume of air is tested.
Quantity / Size
Pack size: 1 Test (Single unit). Estimated Price in SA: R41.99 – R49.99. NAPPI Code: Often listed under general diagnostics or 868078034 (varies by distributor).
Directions for Use
- Wait: Wait at least 10 to 20 minutes after your last drink or cigarette before testing to avoid "mouth alcohol" interference.
- Inflate: Blow into the provided collection bag until it is fully inflated in one continuous breath.
- Assemble: Snap the ends off the tester tube (if applicable) and attach the tube to the bag.
- Deflate: Squeeze the bag evenly so the breath passes through the crystals over approximately 30 seconds.
- Read: Observe the color change. An immediate or significant color change throughout the crystals usually indicates a level above the limit.
Warnings / Safety Information
- Screening Only: This is a preliminary screening device. It does not provide a legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) reading and cannot be used as evidence in a court of law.
- No Guarantee of Safety: A "negative" result does not mean it is 100% safe to drive, as alcohol levels can continue to rise for up to 2 hours after drinking.
- Single Use: Do not attempt to reuse the tube; the chemical reaction is permanent.
- Contents: The crystals contain chemicals (like potassium dichromate) that are hazardous if ingested. Do not break open the tube or touch the contents.
- Disposal: Dispose of the used tube and bag responsibly immediately after use.
Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can degrade the reactive chemicals. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
