The Respiratory CO Test Kit (also known as the Carbon Monoxide Breath Kit) is used for the determination of the concentration of carbon monoxide in the blood. There is a very close relationship between the carbon monoxide concentration of exhaled air and the level of carbon monoxide saturation of the blood. The Respiratory CO Test Kit provides a convenient and reliable means to measure the carboxyhemoglobin content in the blood.
As a follow-up to the carbon monoxide measurements made at the workplace, the Respiratory CO Test provides vital information about the exposure to the individual.
People working in areas where the carbon monoxide concentration is fluctuating (eg highway toll booths, parking garages) should be checked regularly.
To conduct the test, exhaled air is blown through a resistance tube into a 1 L sampling bag. The air is drawn out of the sampling bag through a Draeger Tube (calibrated in percent carboxyhemoglobin) using the Draeger Accuro pump. The exhaled air consists of a mixture of alveolar air and tidal air. Since the test subject must blow hard through the resistance tube to fill the sampling bag, the alveolar air makes up approximately 70% of the sample air. This is a highly reproducible ratio test after test.
