New Saliva Alcohol Screening Device: ALCO‑Screen 02

The QED A-150 Saliva Alcohol Screening Device is no longer manufactured. If you currently have QEDs, you can still use them until you run out or they expire. We are now using a new device called the Alco Screen 02. If you are an STT trained by NASTC and you have not been trained on the new device, please contact our office. If your STT Training is current, you do not have to be totally retrained, BUT you do have to complete the mock collection portion of the STT Training specific to the device that you are using per FMCSA. The mock collections must be observed by someone that is already trained on the Alco Screen 02 and we can do that with you through a webcam training that takes about 20-30 minutes.

Some facts about the new device:

– The Alcohol Testing Form has not changed
– The cost of the new device is the same as the QEDs, but you will receive an additional device for the same price
– The shelf life of the Alco Screen 02 runs about the same as the QED device

Again, if you have not been trained on the new Alco Screen 02 give us a call, 800-264-8580.

For fleets looking to modernize alcohol screening and maintain regulatory compliance, the ALCO‑Screen 02 is a fast, non-invasive solution. Incorporating it into your safety program can help you detect potential issues early, improve driver safety, and stay aligned with FMCSA guidelines.
