How Does SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring Work?

The SCRAM CAM bracelet uses revolutionary technology that tests for alcohol consumption through the perspiration a person naturally excretes on their ankle. When alcohol is consumed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream; it is later metabolized in the liver, with a portion being released through breach, urine, and sweat. The SCRAM CAM device tests the perspiration on a person’s ankle for alcohol that has been consumed and is being released.
The device automatically tests every 30 minutes, 24/7, meaning there are no skipped tests. A person wearing the device does not have to do anything for the device to perform a test and analysis. The device can differentiate between ingested alcohol and environmental alcohol, ensuring that any alerts are from the person drinking alcohol and not due to residue from cologne or spray.

Benefits of the SCRAM CAM Device

There are several benefits to the Oakland SCRAM CAM ankle monitor. A person wearing the device is able to continue their normal activities. It is water-resistant, allowing for a wearer to shower and work out during their monitoring period. The device is also small and lightweight, easily hidden under most pantlegs.

For courts and monitoring agencies, alerts are thoroughly reviewed by trained analysts. Our process and criteria for a confirmed drinking event are peer-reviewed, validated, and single-source admissible in court. There are no required secondary tests to validate confirmed drinking results.

Oakland SCRAM CAM Clients
The Riverside SCRAM CAM device uses transdermal alcohol monitoring. As alcohol is consumed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the stomach and small intestines. Then the body metabolizes alcohol in the liver, or it can be released through breath, urine, or sweat. As a person perspires, their sweat contains traces of alcohol that they consumed. The Riverside SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring device tests the wearer’s sweat for traces of alcohol and transmits that data to a wireless base station. The data is then uploaded through secure software.
Accountability and Compliance
Clients wearing the SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet are alcohol to continue engaging in all of their normal activities. This means that clients can go to work, the gym, even take a shower without having to worry about the device. By allowing individuals to continue to engage in normal daily activities, they can remain productive members of society while being held accountable for their sobriety. The revolutionary transdermal alcohol monitoring can distinguish between ingested alcohol and environmental alcohol, ensuring that consumption alerts are accurate.
How SCRAM CAM Connects

The Oakland SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring (SCRAM CAM) device uploads data to a base station that is installed in a person’s home. The base station then communicates with SCRAM Systems software via a wireless connection, landline, cellular, or ethernet cable to upload all testing data. The ability of the base station to communicate with software through any of these means allows more clients than ever before to take advantage of the device.

Data analysts perform around-the-clock management and interpretation for any tamper attempts or drinking alerts. Confirmed alerts are reported to the appropriate agencies. Individuals wearing the device are held accountable for their sobriety, helping address underlying issues with alcohol addiction or dependence.

SCRAM CAM for High-Risk Drunk Driving Offenders

Drunk driving has a high rate of recidivism. Repeat offenders often need a hardcore solution to stop drinking. SCRAM CAM provides that solution. The device ensures that there are no missed tests. Clients cannot drink between tests since monitoring is completed 24 hours a day throughout their program.

The device is also equipped with anti-tamper technology allowing supervising agencies to rest assured that attempts to circumvent testing are immediately discovered and reported. A SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet is less invasive than urine testing and supports a change in behavior since clients are unable to drink throughout the monitoring period. The device has an overwhelmingly high percentage of compliance.

Encourages Compliance and Accountability

The SCRAM CAM device encourages compliance and accountability. Clients are unable to miss or skip tests throughout their program. The device samples perspiration that is naturally excreted from the skin. An individual is unable to prevent consumed alcohol from being released through sweat, making confirmed alcohol alerts reliable.

Because the device tests every 30 minutes, it is able to distinguish between environmental alcohol and consumed alcohol. The data and science behind the device are court-tested and approved.

Reducing Drunk Driving
The SCRAM CAM device has proven effective for reducing drunk driving since clients cannot drink while wearing the device. Individuals must completely abstain from alcohol throughout their monitoring period, which on average, is over 100 days. The prolonged, mandatory sobriety can help people change their behavior and prevent future drunk driving incidents.
