The time has come. Medical Science has delivered us non-invasive, accurate testing methods for COHb%; the amount of CO in the hemoglobin in blood without drawing blood for testing. These tests can and should be conducted in the field, in the clinic, medical office, home health visit and many other places where 30 seconds of time could make the difference between life and death or good health versus poor health.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are known by nurses, doctors, emergency responders and many other health practitioners. Ask to be tested if you have concerns about the symptoms you have.
CO alarm detectors, properly maintained combustion systems, building entry testing for CO and symptom diligence can save lives or perhaps reduce medical costs associated with misdiagnosis. Low level carbon monoxide alarm detectors can help alert you to increased levels of CO in your home, place of work, car, vacation rental and wherever you are. Venal or non-invasive testing on a person can too, if the health symptoms present themselves.
Be safe, be accurate, be sure. Measurement is education. Learn more today. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

Richmond/Lenox EMS Receive Helpful New Device
New Baltimore Voice Newspapers
It’s long been said that carbon monoxide is the silent killer, but a new device coming to Richmond/Lenox EMS will help detect that toxic gas early in people who have been exposed to it. “…we’ll just put this probe on their finger and it will tell if they have been exposed to carbon monoxide and if so we’ll provide oxygen to clear it out,”

The lowest U.L. 2034 & CSA 6.19 carbon monoxide alarm test point is:
- 70 PPM to 149 PPM – resist one hour, must alarm before 4 hours
Please read the alarm information on the package and in the instructions. Know when your fire department and emergency responders begin wearing their breathing apparatus and what their civilian evacuation levels are for carbon monoxide; it may be before 70 PPM. It is for pregnant women, infants & children, the elderly and all people of vulnerable health. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
