Do British-made breathalysers meet French legal requirements?

Would a reputable British breathalyser, such as the Alcosense Elite, obviate the need to purchase multiple French breathalysers in the light of recently introduced legislation in France?

No, because the French limit is lower and they are made by a mate of Sarkosy's who introduced the law.

Where can I buy a breathalyser approved for use in France?
Now that it is a legal requirement in France to carry, at all times, a couple of self testing breathalyser kits in your vehicle, is it possible to carry, instead, one of the 'alcosense' re-usable breathalisers?...
