The COmpact Smokerlyzer breath carbon monoxide tester offers the opportunity for health professionals and associated practitioners with limited budgets to offer breath testing as part of their smoking intervention.

The COmpact Smokerlyzer gives an indication of smoking status through seven level indicators using the familiar red, amber and green traffic light system. This tester is ideal for brief interventions in a variety of different settings, including pharmacies, schools and health visiting services, allowing cost effective CO breath testing to be available to a much wider audience. The test can be used as a starting point for a referral to a specialised stop smoking service. As part of routine screening, the COmpact can also be used to identify undetected cases of CO poisoning.

Quit Smoking health professionals will still want to use the advanced features of Bedfont’s existing Smokerlyzer family of monitors. However, the COmpact Smokerlyzer allows cost effective CO breath testing to be made available to a much wider audience.
