If the device detects alcohol, it will take readings more often. The data is collected and reported in a graph to be analyzed by an employee trained to properly do so to determine if the graph represents an alcohol consumption event and violation to be referred to the judge or probation officer.

Jeff Hawthorne co-invented the device in and founded AMS in The employees at House Arrest receive training from AMS on the intake, installation, proper fit, removal, ongoing maintenance and initialization of the device.

In , the SCRAM II was introduced which used the same technology but was smaller, lighter and the two components fit into one case instead of two cases.

A one-time, disposable tamper clip is used to secure the bracelet straps and battery. The clip must be physically damaged if the SCRAM is removed, therefore leaving a clear indicator if the device or strap has been tampered with. If any of these readings reach the parameters set by AMS, an alert is generated, which may be reported to the service provider.

The SCRAM utilizes fuel cell technology to detect alcohol in the perspiration pumped from the device. There are other types of alcohol that the fuel cell will read and report as a possible drinking event:. The data that is generated by the fuel cell is interpreted exclusively by AMS employees.

They make their determinations and conclusions primarily based upon the analysis of the graph that the data creates. The curve begins with zero, rises to a peak then falls back to zero.

Due to the physiology of alcohol in the human body, the time it takes to rise and fall, depending on how much a person has drank and their sex, can be predictable.

Because of that predictability, AMS technicians attempt to identify and distinguish a drinking event from an interferant. There are several problems with this analysis. The curve will depend upon the type of interferant, its access to the skin and the amount absorbed by the skin. Therefore, depending how much environmental alcohol is present, and the type is directly correlated with how much will be absorbed. If a sufficient amount is absorbed, the rate at which it dissipates can easily be misinterpreted as a drinking event, thereby unfairly subjecting the wearer to possible incarceration.

There are several common products containing environmental alcohols which could be mistaken for ethyl alcohol including:.
