Micro Medical Micro CO

Every year Carbon Monoxide (CO) inhalation is responsible for many illnesses and deaths. CO is an odorless and colorless gas and is often referred to as a silent killer. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.

The MicroMedical CO Meter effectively and quickly monitors a patient’s breath carbon monoxide levels associated with smoking.

It is a lightweight device that is easy to use while providing accurate results for breath testing in a short amount of time. Other features are 1ppm resolution, immediate display of CO levels in PPM and %COHb (Carboxyhemoglobin), color light indicators, and the ability to interface with the Windows-based software package, COBRA, for performing and storing real-time breath tests on your personal computer.

The Micro CO is the gold standard in CO breath testing and is the most advanced system currently available today. The device features an onboard countdown timer to encourage patients to hold their breath for a sufficient time period. An ergonomically designed unit of distinctive appearance, the textured handgrip encourages easy and reassuring use.
