You’ll inhale then blow into the sensor, and the results can be viewed directly on the sensor. For the best experience, you can pair the sensor to the app to learn even more!The more you use your sensor, the more you’ll understand your CO levels and how they are affected by your smoking. You can set up your sensor to remind you to give samples with vibrations or beeps.*Indications for use: The Carbon Monoxide Breath Sensor System is a breath carbon monoxide monitor intended for single-user use by people who smoke cigarettes to inform the user about how breath carbon monoxide levels are affected by smoking behavior.  The device is not intended to be used with other inhaled products.

Between excess healthcare costs and lost productivity, self-insured employers lose about $8,000 per person who smokes annually versus non-smokers. That adds up quickly.
