No, SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring) technology is designed to detect alcohol consumption through skin sweat, not cocaine or other drugs.
No. However, if you are referring to devices such as the SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) Ankle Bracelet, built by Alcohol Monitoring Systems, those days may not be far off. Right now, the SCRAM is used in 20 states and is proving very effective in tracking offender recidivism 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, related to alcohol offenses. Continuous monitoring of other substances is a short leap.
Yes, absorbing rubbing alcohol through the skin can potentially cause a positive reading on the SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) device due to the presence of alcohol in the bloodstream. It's important to avoid exposure to substances containing alcohol to prevent false readings on alcohol monitoring devices.
No, a SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) device is specifically designed to detect alcohol consumption through sweat. It does not measure the presence of marijuana or its metabolites. For marijuana detection, other types of drug testing methods, such as urine or blood tests, would be required.
The HomeGuard 200 is primarily designed for monitoring vital signs and health parameters rather than specifically detecting alcohol consumption. It may track metrics related to overall health, but it does not have a dedicated feature for monitoring alcohol levels. If you're looking for devices that specifically detect alcohol, consider breathalyzers or specialized alcohol monitoring devices.
Quick short answer: Drug would have to ethanol component in it, otherwise the "drug" would not be detected - aka - SCRAM monitoring devices - Alcohol Monitoring devices only detects alcohol through perspiration. You cannot come into contact with any product that contains ethanol (common cleaners, hand lotions, perfumes, etc., and you cannot consume orally - any alcohol period (mouth washes) and of course the good stuff - drinking alcohol. The 8-ounce bracelet tracks the user's alcohol level through a process called "transdermal alcohol testing," which essentially takes samples from the hard-to-see layer of sweat that is on everyone's skin. The device cannot discriminate between ethanol in the environment (gasoline, disinfectants, hand cleaners and certain foods though, making it less than an optimal device it is made out to be, aka - you can go to jail for NOT consuming alcohol.etc., from
It works because the person wears the specially designed bracelet on their ankle and the bracelet's technology is actually monitoring the person' sweat for traces of alcohol.
Yes you can
SCRAM means Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring. It's only looking for alcohol. There is another patch called PharmChek, which looks for cocaine, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, meth and PCP. However, the patch is tested with GC/MS which can be programmed to look for just about any drug you care to test for.

Scram bracelets generally detect alcohol consumption through the skin, but stearyl alcohol is a non-toxic fatty alcohol commonly used in cosmetics and skincare products, so it is unlikely to trigger the bracelet's monitoring for alcohol consumption.
Drinking alcohol can potentially lead to a positive reading on a SCRAM remote breath monitor, which is designed to detect alcohol consumption. The monitor is sensitive and can register alcohol even in small amounts, so it’s advisable to avoid alcohol entirely if you want to ensure compliance with monitoring requirements. If you have specific concerns or questions, it's best to consult with a legal professional or your monitoring program.
