1.
Mouthpieces should be replaced after every use.
2.
Hands should be washed regularly in accordance with infection control practice.
3.
Please do not attempt to modify the equipment in any way or use accessories not specified
by the manufacturer. Any attempt to do so will invalidate the warranty and may
compromise the safety of the device.

this will
clear any saved data and revert all settings to the factory defaults.
After performing a reset
the device will need to have the date/time set and be calibrated before it can be used.

Replace batteries when indicated by the empty symbol.
7.
Bedfont® recommend removal of the batteries when the device is not used for prolonged
periods of time to prevent leakage.

piCO™, piCO
baby

Micro
+
™ Smokerlyzer® products will give a reminder during start-up

to sensor change’ symbol will be shown with the date on which the sensor should be
changed. This can be ignored by pressing the home icon until the date at which the sensor
should be changed arrives, at this point the ‘change sensor’ symbol will be shown. Change
sensor if trained to do so by an approved Bedfont® engineer or send to Bedfont® or the local

Cleaning
1.
The Smokerlyzer® products are moulded with SteriTouch® technology for optimum
infection control and bacterial efficacy. However Bedfont® recommends wiping the
instrument and D-piece™ external surfaces with a product specifically developed for this
purpose. Bedfont® provides instrument cleaning wipes. The D-piece™ cannot be
sterilised.
2.
NEVER use alcohol or cleaning agents containing alcohol or other organic solvents as
long term exposure to these vapours will damage the CO sensor inside.
3.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be immersed in liquid or splashed with
liquid.
