The piCO Baby CO meter:
The piCO Baby Smokerlyzer is specially designed for use with pregnant smokers. The expectant mother sees the effects of smoking both on herself and on the unborn baby.
The piCObaby™ CO monitor is a valuable tool for pregnant smokers to visualise the effects of smoking on themselves and their unborn baby. This is possible thanks to the meter's clear green, orange, red stoplight system.
The results are visible with the ppm measurement, %COHb and, for pregnant women, also the foetal ppm measurement and %FCOHb conversion. This means that the effects of smoking (CO) are made transparent to both the expectant mother and the unborn child. For any healthcare provider dealing with pregnant smokers, this is a must-have to make (quitting) smoking discussable, to give the smoker extra motivation to make a quit attempt.
