CAUTION: When you connect the MicroCO to other equipment,
always make sure that the whole combination complies with the
international safety standard IEC 60601-1 for medical electrical
systems. During measurements, connect the MicroCO only to
computers that comply with IEC/EN 60601-1 / UL 60601-1.

Intended Use

The MicroCO is intended to measure the amount of Carbon Monoxide
(CO) that can be expired from the breath. The expired CO is measured
in parts per million and is used to calculate the percentage of
carboxyhemoglobin, %COHb, in the blood.
The MicroCO is used in smoking cessation clinics, physician offices
emergency departments, and by the fire-fighting services. In smoking
cessation clinics it is used for instructional purposes and to check on
the client's progress and compliance. General practitioners, Emergency
room personal and the fire-fighting services can use the instrument to
quickly assess the level of suspected CO poisoning.
The MicroCO is designed for use by clinicians and health care
professionals.

Operation

For accurate results the CO meter should be used at room
temperature. If the instrument has been stored in cool or hot
conditions then allow time to reach room temperature prior to use
Install the PP3 battery by sliding open the battery cover, clipping the
battery in place and replacing the cover. Insert the mouthpiece
adapter into the MicroCO meter and then insert a disposable
mouthpiece into the adapter. Turn the unit on by selecting the upper
or middle position on the central slide switch and the display will show
the software version number.
