Carbon Monoxide Monitors for Stop Smoking Services
A breath carbon monoxide (CO) monitor gives an instant, objective reading of recent smoking. Stop smoking advisers, GP surgeries, community pharmacies and maternity teams use CO readings to confirm smoking status, motivate quit attempts and verify that a patient has stopped. NICE guidance recommends offering CO testing to pregnant women at antenatal appointments.
Smokerlyzers
The Bedfont Pico Smokerlyzer is the standard choice for stop smoking services, giving a reading in parts per million (ppm) with a simple traffic light display. The PicoBaby Smokerlyzer is designed for maternity settings and also shows foetal carboxyhaemoglobin (%FCOHb). The Micro+ Smokerlyzer adds adult, teenage and pregnancy modes, an ambient air mode and on-device data entry.
Consumables and Verification
Bedfont monitors use a reusable, multi-patient D-piece with single-use mouthpieces for infection control. The monitors are calibration-free; verification gas lets you run periodic status checks to confirm readings are accurate.
