Overview

The BabyCO meter is a hand held battery operated device used to

measure the concentration of carbon monoxide, CO, on the breath

and calculates the percentage of carboxyhaemoglobin, FCOHb, in the

foetus’ blood.

It is used in smoking cessation clinics, GP’s surgeries, and antenatal

clinics.

In smoking cessation clinics it is used for instructional purposes and

to check on the clients progress and compliance.

It is accurate, easy to use, and has many features designed to

simplify its operation.

These include: Auto zero function

Smoking level colour light indicators

Simple calibration

Serial interface to PC

Please note: It is recommended that this unit be calibrated

upon receipt

Introduction

The BabyCO meter is based on an electrochemical fuel cell sensor,

which works through the reaction of carbon monoxide (CO) with an

electrolyte at one electrode, and oxygen (from ambient air) at the

other. This reaction generates an electrical current proportional to

CO concentration. Output from the sensor is monitored by a

microprocessor, which detects peak expired concentrations of

alveolar gas. This is then converted to % foetal carboxyhaemoglobin

(%FCOHb) using the relationship %FCOHb = 0.313*Expired CO

(ppm). This relationship is derived from data supplied by the Centre

Hospitalier d’Arras, Maternité Georges Pernin, Arras, France1. The

results are displayed on a clear LCD display.
