Important Information/Reminders
WARNING: Please read the manual before use.
WARNING: Never use alcohol or cleaning agents containing alcohol or other organic solvents as
these vapours will damage the electrochemical sensor inside.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should the instrument be immersed or splashed with liquid.
WARNING: Breath tests must only be carried out with Bedfont® accessories. Failure to do so may
cause incorrect readings.
WARNING: The mouthpieces are single patient use only and can be used for a maximum of 3 tests.
Further re-use could cause incorrect readings and could increase the risk of cross infection. The
mouthpiece should be disposed of after use, in accordance with local waste disposal guidance.
WARNING: Patients should exhale for the duration of time indicated by the monitor during a breath
test. Failure to do so may cause incorrect readings.
WARNING: To ensure a breath sample is taken at the correct flow rate, the monitor must be held
upright at all times during a breath test.
WARNING: Do not block the exhaust ports on the device at any time. Blocking the exhaust ports may
cause erroneous readings.
CAUTION: Ensure the monitor is used within the stated operating temperature and humidity ranges.
Operating temperature is 15-35oC. Operating humidity is 25-80% RH (non-condensing).
CAUTION: Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the Smokerlyzer®
monitors.
NOTE: See Bedfont’s infection control and maintenance guidelines for further information on
infection control.
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: Bedfont® will make available on request service training to appropriately qualified personnel.

Introduction
The User Manual provides instructions on how to operate the Micro+™, piCO™, and piCObaby™
Smokerlyzer® monitors and their accessories. It contains relevant information about the monitors,
their uses and their care, including step-by-step instructions with screens and illustrations.
The piCO™ Smokerlyzer® displays both CO ppm and %COHb, the piCObaby™Smokerlyzer® displays
both CO ppm, %FCOHb and %COHb, and the Micro+™ Smokerlyzer® displays CO ppm, %COHb and
%FCOHb. However all devices only directly measure CO ppm, the %COHb and %FCOHb is a
calculation based on clinical evidence. Clinical research has demonstrated that a useful relationship
between carbon monoxide and carboxyhaemoglobin is obtained after a short period of breath-
holding.
Definitions
WARNING: indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result minor or
moderate injury.
CAUTION: indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in damage to

14
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.

15
Patient Profiles – Micro+™ only
All patient profiles saved on the device will
be listed here. To view patient information,
press the relevant patient profile block.
If ‘start breath test’ is selected from this
screen, the breath test will be automatically
saved to the profile. Once the type of breath
test has been assigned to the patient, only
one symbol will appear.
To change the name of the patient, press
the text box icon, then press the letters
required. Click the save icon to confirm or
the home icon to return to the home screen.

16
To access the patient’s breath test results
history, press the graph icon. This will then
bring up the patient’s testing history.
To delete a patient profile, press the delete
icon. To confirm, press the delete icon
again.
Reviewing history – Micro+™ only
The Micro+™ will record every reading taken
in its history up to 150 readings, to access
this press the settings icon.

17
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.
Changing date and time – Micro+™ only
Press the settings icon.
Press the date/time icon.

18
Select either d-m-y or m-d-y for
the date format and 12h or 24h
for the time format.
Dates and times are then
adjusted by selecting the
number needing changed and
pressing the up or down arrow
icons to increase and decrease.
Press the save icon to save the
new settings.
Changing breath holding time – Micro+™ only
Press the settings icon.

19
Press the breath holding time
icon.
Use the arrows to adjust the
breath holding time. Press the
save icon to save changes.
