Bedfont ToxCO User manual

For Bedfont® ToxCO® Monitor
Before using any of the above equipment, the Operang Manual should be read and fully
understood.
Washing hands before and aer tesng is highly recommended for both operator and user as
part of a sensible infecon control regime.
The monitor uses a SteriBreath™ mouthpiece that connects to the monitor via a D-piece™.
SteriBreath™ mouthpieces are single-use only as re-use can increase the risk of cross-infecon.
The D-piece™ contains a one-way valve to prevent paents drawing air back from the monitor.
An integrated infecon control lter removes and traps >99% of airborne bacteria and >97% of
viruses1.
Bedfont® recommends that the D-piece™ is replaced every 28 days or if visibly soiled. The
D-piece™ cannot be sterilised as this process may aect the posioning of the valve. It is
possible that saliva can build up inside the D-piece™ if they are not replaced regularly, which
may over me aect the valve and ecacy of the lter material.
It is preferable that, where possible, the user aaches their own SteriBreath™ mouthpiece to
the D-piece™ before the breath test, and detaches and disposes of it once the test is complete.
Whilst the user is exhaling, the operator should avoid posioning themselves in front of the
exhaust port of the instrument.

Calibraon
• The ToxCO® should be calibrated with 50ppm CO in air; an onscreen reminder will display
every 6 months, however the ToxCO® should be calibrated at least once a year
• It is recommended that only Bedfont® calibraon gas is used; the unit may give false
readings if not calibrated.
Wipe the external surfaces of the instrument with a product specically developed for this
purpose. The device should be cleaned for inial use and aer each paent use. Bedfont®
recommends wiping the instrument and D-piece™ external surfaces between each paent with
an alcohol-free wipe specically designed for this purpose. A list of approved wipes can be
found here: hps://www.bedfont.com/cleaning-bedfont-monitors.
NEVER use alcohol or cleaning products containing alcohol or other organic solvents as these
vapours will damage the sensor within the instrument. Under no circumstances should the
instrument be immersed in or splashed with liquid.
