When someone drinks alcohol, much of it is absorbed and metabolized in the body, but about 4% of it is excreted through the lungs and kidneys, and 1% through the skin in the form of insensible perspiration. SCRAM CAM tests that insensible perspiration using an electrochemical fuel cell by sampling the wearer’s sweat every 30 minutes.
If you need to sign up for SCRAM Alcohol monitoring please give us a call at 724-242-0059 we will be able to guide you through the process.
Every 30 minutes when the SCRAM monitor takes a reading there is a light buzzing sound that can be heard. Kind of like your cell phone vibrating.
Please avoid consuming food or beverages that contain alcohol. Also please avoid using products on or near the bracelet that contains alcohol. Application of small quantities of cologne or perfume in areas far from the monitor should not be problematic.
