“Tests of lung function, unlike most tests of fitness, the client is asked to perform at maximum effort. The results of PEF, FEV1 and FVC when assessed can show interesting results, but given the opportunity to view the results in a graphical form both obstructive and restrictive conditions can be easily seen. Spirometry is one area that would urge practitioners to attend a professional development training session, call us for details of training course.” – Steve Raven

The Smoke Check is designed to discourage smokers to continue the health risk of smoking by using a simple screening of exhaled carbon monoxide (CO). This is a powerful incentive device, which allows the user to monitor their levels of CO and feel motivated to abstain from smoking in order to increase lung function over time.

The Smoke Check displays the CO levels in parts per million (ppm) bands, which is directly related to the CO level. Studies show smokers account for 80% of all individuals suffering with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Additionally, smokers can also develop cardiac and circulatory problems as well as increased risk of cancer.

Product is popular with “health promotion departments” throughout the UK to help highlight the damage caused to lung health by inhaling tobacco smoke.

Key Features:

• Four ranges of CO levels
• Flashing light to indicate a heavy smoker
• Great for health promotion
