PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Marijuana legalization requires a new drug testing solution

The HOUND® MARIJUANA BREATHALYZER ensures SAFETY + FAIRNESS™ by providing a fair breath test
Conventional marijuana tests (blood, urine, oral fluid, and hair) cannot differentiate between an individual who smoked shortly before work and therefore may be impaired versus someone who used responsibly over the weekend.

Employers
Want to maintain a safe work environment while retaining valuable employees who use marijuana responsibly outside of work.

Law Enforcement
Want to avoid possible wrongful arrests caused by THC tests like saliva or blood that detect historic use versus very recent use.

Legislators
Need breath tests to support current laws, workplace policies, and make roads safer while preventing unfair arrests of responsible users.

Employees
May choose to legally use marijuana outside of work, but risk job loss because of the inability of conventional tests to determine recent use.

Drivers
May choose to legally use marijuana long before driving, but face the possibility of wrongful DUI convictions if outdated testing methods are used.

Legal Marijuana Advocates
Worry unfair arrest and firing of responsible marijuana users caused by residual THC in saliva, blood, and urine.
No other technology can detect only recent cannabis use. How does it work?

The peak impairment window from marijuana has been identified by NHTSA1 and global researchers as just a few hours after use2
Oral fluid, blood, urine, and hair THC tests can all cause positive results long after impairment subsides – sometimes for an additional day or 2, but sometimes up to 3 months after use.

Identifying recent marijuana use in breath requires measuring parts per trillion, which would be like finding 1 person in the population of 142 earths combined
This level of ultra-sensitivity is necessary in order to determine whether someone used marijuana recently enough that they may be within the peak impairment window.

The HOUND MARIJUANA BREATHALYZER is the only portable and highly sensitive solution that differentiates between the person who smoked cannabis legally and responsibly at a BBQ on Friday night, versus their colleague who smoked Monday morning on the way to work.

Minimal training required
Just Attach, Breathe, and Process. In a few easy steps, you can collect a lab-quality sample.

Fast results on location
The handheld captures 2 samples - 1 for immediate results and 1 for future analysis.

Secure and encrypted data
Cartridges are tamper-evident and encrypted individual test results are stored by a unique ID.

Non-invasive and hygienic
Individually packaged, single-use cartridges ensure reliable results and a sanitary process.

Ultra-sensitive measurement
1 billion times more sensitive than an alcohol breathalyzer, the ultra-sensitive technology allows for detection of recent marijuana use.

Portable and durable
The carrying case contains everything needed for analysis on location and is engineered to withstand everyday use.
Product and Technical Specifications

- Tamper-evident design ensures integrity of all samples.

Base Station
Built into the carrying case, the base station quickly and accurately measures THC in breath with sensitivity that rivals the capabilities of mass spectrometers. It automatically processes a sample from a breath cartridge within minutes. It stores thousands of results for future reference.
- Automatically processes the sample from the disposable cartridge within minutes of activating analysis.
- THC Measurement Time: Approximately 15 minutes (average processing time).
- Power Supply: Processes up to 10 tests on a fully charged battery or can be used while plugged into a power source.
