It is not the "official" blood alcohol testing device, such as the Intox. 5000, or blood testing devices at the crime lab. However, the cops do use the reading of the alcosensor as a "guide" when they make their decision to arrest you for DUI. I have had clients do wonderfully on the physical sobriety test and then take the alcosensor and fail it, so they got arrested.
