Pain-Free Diabetic Monitoring Making Lives Better, One Breath at a Time New England Breath Technologies, LLC is developing a device that will accurately detect breath acetone and which will mimic the current size and footprint of the common personal alcohol breathalyzer. The first generation breathalyzer (pictured above and which is currently being miniaturized) includes a tube that the patient breathes into as well as a disposable coated slide which is inserted in the top of the device in the direct line of the patient’s breath.
