Arizona Tribune - SOBRsafe Achieves Technology Milestone with Strong Core Sensing Capabilities in Third-Party Validation Results

DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2025 / SOBR Safe, Inc. (Nasdaq:SOBR) ("SOBRsafe" or the "Company"), the leader in next-generation alcohol monitoring and detection technology, today announced a significant technology milestone following comprehensive independent testing by KEA Technologies. The rigorous third-party evaluation assessed SOBRsafe's SOBRsure^TM GEN 2 device across key technical parameters under controlled conditions, establishing the device as an alternative to monitor alcohol consumption in the behavioral health and wellness, and alcohol consumption and non-punitive management space.

KEA Technologies conducted extensive evaluations covering critical performance areas including calibration linearity, environmental impacts, sensitivity and drift, and trace alcohol differentiation. The testing validated the SOBRsure^TM GEN 2's core sensing capabilities and consistent performance across its expected environmental operating range. The device exhibited excellent calibration linearity, demonstrating performance even with low-level ethanol underscoring the strength of SOBRsafe's early detection technology.

The device exhibited rapid ethanol response times of 30 seconds or less from initial exposure in controlled testing, including low-level, early detection scenarios. This rapid response capability, combined with the ability to differentiate trace alcohol concentrations in controlled conditions, highlights the underlying potential of SOBRsafe's monitoring and detection technology platform.

"The results of these tests demonstrate the strength of our baseline technology, specifically used in the SOBRsure^TM GEN 2 device," said SOBRsafe CEO David Gandini. "With increasing third-party validation reinforcing the monitoring and detection capabilities of SOBRsafe's technology and a clear road map for product evolution, we are poised to gain greater market share as we expand domestically and internationally."

Building on this validated foundation, SOBRsafe's future development efforts will focus on further enhancing low-level detection, minimizing cross-contamination from non-ingested alcohol sources, and advancing on-board sensor diagnostic capabilities and user adaptable calibration features. Additionally, this independent validation bolsters confidence in SOBRsafe's core technology, which can help us secure future commercial partnerships and accelerate broader market adoption.
