The COmpact™ measures the amount of carbon monoxide in a single exhaled breath.

Flatpak™ mouthpieces
Flatpak™ mouthpieces have revolutionised the world of breath monitor mouthpieces. They take up less than a third of the space of conventional mouthpieces. They are packed in batches of 25 or individually sealed to minimise the risk of cross-infection.
D-pieces
Flatpak™ mouthpieces are attached to the CO monitor via a D-piece. The D-piece incorporates a one-way valve and an infection control filter, proven to remove and trap >99.9% of airborne bacteria1. The D-piece should be changed monthly, or more often if visibly soiled.
Instrument cleansing wipes
Bedfont supplies instrument cleansing wipes for cleaning the external surfaces of the monitor. Each wipe contains 1% cetrimide, a powerful antimicrobial detergent. Users can also use the wipes cleans their hands before handling the instruments.
IMPORTANT: Alcohol, or cleaning agents containing alcohol, should never be used to clean the monitor because alcohol can adversely affect the sensor within the instrument.
