Summary

This study is a prospective, controlled study in healthy volunteers all of whom are residents, medical students, faculty physicians, or emergency department nursing and ancillary staff.

Detailed description

The breathalyzer, BACtrack S80 Breathalyzer, will be calibrated per manufacturer's recommendations before each reading will be taken. Participants will administer the breathalyzer test on themselves. They will be instructed on how to hold and blow into the breathalyzer machine. Participants will then be instructed to wash his or her hands and an initial breathalyzer reading will be taken and will serve as the control prior to the application of each product. Participants with a result \>0 will be excluded from the study. Participants will apply the alcohol-containing product to his or her hands and a second breathalyzer reading will be obtained immediately after application. If the second breathalyzer result is \>0, a third breathalyzer reading will be obtained after the product has dried appropriately on the participant's hands (approximately 1 minute after initial application). A minimum of two breathalyzer readings will be obtained from each participant per product application. If the second breathalyzer reading is \>0, a third breathalyzer will be obtained from that participant.
