CO Sleuth

Smoking Intervention Testing

The CO Sleuth carbon monoxide breath test has been proven to be extremely successful for smoking intervention testing in smoking cessation clinics.  The CO Sleuth, a carbon monoxide breath test, is a simple, non-invasive way to measure carbon monoxide poisoning in a patient enrolled in a smoking cessation program. Smoking cessation programs can be very successful with the motivational tool provided by a carbon monoxide device.  The CO Sleuth, carbon monoxide monitor, provides visual proof of the dangerous CO levels found in the lungs of smokers. The CO Sleuth carbon monoxide monitor is one of the most cost effective smoking intervention testing tools available to the clinician.  Most smokers don’t realize carbon monoxide poisoning is a dangerous side effect of smoking cigarettes.  Smoking intervention testing will provide the patient with positive proof of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and the carbon monoxide monitor will provide a graphic display of the amount of carbon monoxide poisoning that is in their body. Smoking cessation clinics that use the CO Sleuth carbon monoxide monitor for carbon monoxide tests have reported excellent results in getting patients to stop smoking.  The smoking intervention testing shows the patient a reduction of carbon monoxide poisoning in the lungs as the patient gives up smoking.

The CPT Code for the CO Sleuth is 94720 Specifications Gas Measured CO Range Measured 0-500 PPM Temperature Range 0-55 º C Humidity Range 0-99% Response Time 15 seconds Cross Sensitivity to Hydrogen None Position Sensitivity None

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

The CO Sleuth carbon monoxide monitor is not only used in smoking cessation clinics for smoking intervention testing but this device is also used in the Emergency Room as a carbon monoxide breath test for carbon monoxide poisoning.  When a patient is admitted to the Emergency Room in a dazed, incoherent, or unconscious state, a carbon monoxide device, such as a CO Sleuth, should be used to perform an immediate non invasive carbon monoxide test.  The carbon monoxide breath test will give the same results as a carboxyhemoglobin blood test.  This carbon monoxide device will give immediate results of carbon monoxide poisoning from a single exhale of breath from the patient without having to wait for lab results.

A carbon monoxide test is an essential component of an Emergency Department to test for carbon monoxide poisoning.  The CO Sleuth, a carbon monoxide device, is an important device in the diagnosis of smoke inhalation, faulty furnaces, or any other type of environmental carbon monoxide poisoning.  The CO Sleuth carbon monoxide monitor is a simple screening for carbon monoxide testing.  With its single switch operation and automatic zero calibration, this carbon monoxide device will instantly provide the ER physician with an indication of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The CO Sleuth carbon monoxide test is reimbursable under CPT Code 94720.  The CO Sleuth, a non-invasive carbon monoxide breath test, has a one year guarantee on parts and labor and can be ordered directly from the manufacturer and comes with an easy to use operations manual.
