Conducting an ambient test – Micro
+
™ only
The environmental air can be tested to
check for CO in the environment using the
Micro
+
™ Smokerlyzer®. This is particularly
useful in the event of a patient reporting a
non-smoker status but providing a breath
reading of that of a smoker suggesting they
have inhaled environmental CO.
This is carried out by pressing the ambient
mode icon on the screen.
The Micro
+
™ will then carry out real-time
monitoring of the environmental air. To stop
the test, press the home icon.
Bedfont® does not recommend that the environmental test alone is used as a measure of passive smoking
as the very high dispersiveness of CO at the levels involved with smoking can lead to false negative
readings.
