SCRAM CAM®
Continuous Alcohol Monitoring

Beyond Crime: Tackling Alcohol Misuse

Like a breathalyzer for the ankle, the SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM CAM) tag provides 24/7 transdermal alcohol testing for wearers. By automatically sampling the subject’s perspiration every 30 minutes, the tag eliminates testing gaps and encourages accountability. SCRAM CAM not only supports sobriety but also results in higher compliance rates with sobriety orders and increases community safety.

Provides Accountability and Encourages Compliance

Continuous alcohol monitoring is proven to support long-term behavior change and complements treatment for alcohol dependence or addiction. In fact, SCRAM CAM helps more people achieve more Sober Days — a 24-hour period in which a monitored client has no confirmed consumption of alcohol and no confirmed attempt to tamper or circumvent testing.

Transdermal Testing How it Works 24/7 Monitoring
The SCRAM CAM bracelet uses transdermal testing to detect alcohol through the skin.

How SCRAM CAM Tests Alcohol Through the Skin

When someone drinks alcohol, much of it is absorbed and metabolized in the body, but about 4% of it is excreted through the lungs and kidneys, and 1% through the skin in the form of insensible perspiration. SCRAM CAM tests that insensible perspiration using an electrochemical fuel cell by sampling the wearer’s sweat every 30 minutes.

The SCRAM CAM System

How does it all work? The SCRAM CAM bracelet automatically transmits testing data to the SCRAM Wireless Base Station where it is stored and uploaded to our online monitoring software, SCRAM Optix™. When an alert is generated, our team of professionally trained analysts perform a review process and surface any violations to the supervising authority.

Automated Testing Means No Missed Tests

Continuous, automated monitoring eliminates the opportunity to drink around test schedules. SCRAM CAM also conclusively distinguishes drinking from environmental alcohol sources, providing courts with confidence in test results.
