It is never too late to stop smoking. Every cigarette you decide not to smoke will help you and your baby’s health. A baby in the womb receives everything from its mother. Nutrients and oxygen come via the placenta and umbilical cord. Smoking not only exposes the fetus to toxins in tobacco smoke, but also damages placental function.

When a person smokes, some of the oxygen in their blood is replaced by carbon monoxide. If a pregnant woman smokes, her blood and therefore her child’s blood will contain less oxygen than normal. This can cause the fetal heart rate to rise as the baby struggles to get enough oxygen.

As well as displaying the mother’s CO level in parts per million (ppm) and the %COHb, the Baby CO will immediately display the carbon monoxide levels in (%FCOHb) of the unborn fetus.

The BabyCO is the gold standard in CO breath testing and the most advanced system currently available today. Some of its many features include fast response time, 1 ppm resolution, immediate display of CO levels in ppm, %COHb and %FCOHb, three color light indicators and is capable of interfacing with COBRA, a windows based software package for performing, printing and storing real time breath tests on your PC.

Babies born to mothers who smoke:

Measurements are easily obtained from a single expiration and are aided by an auto-zero function when the unit is turned on. These results are then instantly displayed on the large liquid crystal display.

An ergonomically designed unit of distinctive appearance, the textured handgrip encourages easy and reassuring use. The Baby CO is small, lightweight and are molded from high impact ABS plastic for durability.

In order to keep your Baby CO in pristine working condition and always have reproducible results at your disposal, we recommend calibration every six months. Calibration can be easily and safely carried out by the end user with our calibration cylinder. Alternatively, a calibration service is available by returning your Baby CO monitor to Micro Direct.
