Pivot Breathe
The Breath Sensor measures the amount of carbon monoxide in your exhaled breath* (CO is one of the toxins in cigarette smoke).
Using the Breath Sensor takes approximately 30 seconds. You’ll inhale then blow into the sensor, and the results can be viewed directly on the Breath Sensor. For the best experience, you can pair the Breath Sensor to the app to learn even more!
The more you use your Breath Sensor, the more you’ll understand your CO levels and how they are affected by your smoking. You can set up your Breath Sensor to remind you to give samples with vibrations or beeps.
*Indications for use: The Breath Sensor is a breath carbon monoxide monitor intended for single-user use by cigarette smokers as an educational and motivational tool 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 combustible products.
