Carbon Monoxide (CO) Breath Sensor System (COBSS) User Manual System Overview The Carbon Monoxide (CO) Breath Sensor System (COBSS) consists of a personal mobile breath sensor (CO Breath Sensor) capable of measuring a user’s level of CO in their exhaled breath and a Breath Sensor App (BSA) for smartphones which displays the exhaled breath CO value to the user. Background Information (Smoking and Breath Carbon Monoxide) Smoke from a burning cigarette contains high levels of carbon monoxide or CO (a byproduct of combustion). When cigarette smoke is inhaled into the lungs, CO enters the bloodstream. Over time, the CO is slowly released in the exhaled breath. The level of CO in exhaled breath can be measured using the CO Breath Sensor and the Breath Sensor App, which together, make up the CO Breath Sensor System or COBSS. The amount of carbon monoxide in the exhaled breath of a smoker is related to the intensity, frequency, technique and amount of smoking behavior. Simply put, the more one smokes, the higher their exhaled breath CO levels tend to be. When a smoker stops smoking (smoking cessation), their exhaled breath CO levels drop within a few days to values seen in non-smokers. Exhaled breath CO readings have been shown to be useful for smokers who are trying to quit smoking (smoking cessation), as the personal CO information provides educational feedback regarding their smoking exposure. Indications for Use The Carbon Monoxide Breath Sensor System is a breath carbon monoxide monitor intended for single-user use in smoking cessation programs. Contraindications There are no known contraindications at this time. Warnings • Low levels of CO do not indicate that it is safe to increase your smoking. Smoking is harmful to your health and any amount of smoking is unsafe. Precautions • Sit down while doing breath samples. Holding your breath and then blowing into the device may cause some users to become lightheaded, which may lead to falls. • Do not strain while doing a breath sample, as this may cause lightheadedness, which may lead to falls. Carrot Sense, Inc. Carbon Monoxide (CO) Breath Sensor System (COBSS) User Manual • When taking a deep breath in to do a breath sample, do not take this breath in through the straw or CO Breath Sensor. • Do not use the COBSS while operating any type of vehicle or machinery as you may be distracted from the operation. • After cleaning straws with soap and water, ensure they are dry inside and out before using. • The straw is a small part and may be a choking hazard. Keep away from children under 3 years. • Do not use any alcohol containing products, such as alcohol wipes or gel, on the CO Breath Sensor as they may interfere with the function of the CO Breath Sensor and CO values. • Do not submerge the CO Breath Sensor in water or other liquids. Notes • Do not use in cases of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. Call 911. • Do not use in cases of suspected smoke inhalation (e.g. from a fire). Call 911. • Do not use the CO Breath Sensor while plugged in for charging as it will not function. Contents CO Breath Sensor packaging includes: • • • • CO Breath Sensor with straw inserted 7 straws in a bag Micro USB charging cable User Manual (this document) CO Breath Sensor The CO Breath Sensor is portable, battery-powered, and small enough to be conveniently carried by the user (e.g. pocket, purse, backpack). 9.1 Charging the CO Breath Sensor Insert the micro USB plug into the CO Breath Sensor.

Replace as necessary. 10 Breath Sensor Application 10.1 Pairing to Smartphone See Product Specifications for compatible smartphones to pair with your CO Breath Sensor. Follow these steps to pair: a. On your smartphone, download and install the My Breath CO application from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). b. On your smartphone, turn Bluetooth “on”. c. Open the My Breath CO application. You will see a welcome screen followed by a Breath Sensor Pairing animation. d. Your smartphone will look for any available, ready-to-pair, CO Breath Sensors. Carrot Sense, Inc. Carbon Monoxide (CO) Breath Sensor System (COBSS) User Manual e. To make your CO Breath Sensor available for pairing, press and hold the CO Breath Sensor button until the LED flashes cyan (light blue), then release the button. f. If your CO Breath Sensor LED flashes green, tap Confirm on the screen to complete the Bluetooth pairing process. g. If your CO Breath Sensor is NOT flashing green, wait to select the Try Again button and start again. 10.2 Getting Started After successful pairing, you will be directed to the Getting Started page, where you will watch the Breath Test Video Tutorial. This video provides instruction about how to use your CO Breath Sensor to measure the amount of CO in your breath. You must watch this video in order to continue further into the app. After viewing the Breath Test Video Tutorial, you will go to an interactive tutorial called YOUR Guided Breath Test (GBT). In YOUR GBT, you’ll learn how to submit a breath sample by following interactive on-screen prompts. Before using YOUR GBT, make sure your sensor is fully charged and in your hand, and make sure the air temperature is not too cold or too hot (between 40oF and 90oF) so that the sensor can fully detect when you start and stop blowing. YOUR GBT will guide you through the steps and timing of taking a deep breath in, holding it, and then blowing gently into the CO Breath Sensor. a. The sensor and app determine if you have provided an adequate breath sample: i. If yes, you will see a “success” screen with a smiley face; tap View Results to view your results on the CO Log screen. ii. If the submitted sample was not adequate, you will be asked to repeat the Guided Breath Test. Reasons for inadequate breath sample include blowing too soon, not long enough, or starting too late. Adequate breath sample Inadequate breath sample b. You may repeat the video tutorial or Guided Breath Test as often as you like by going to the Help screen. Carrot Sense, Inc. Carbon Monoxide (CO) Breath Sensor System (COBSS) User Manual 10.3 Submitting a Breath Sample a. Insert a straw in the inlet of CO Breath Sensor. b. Press and hold the button until you hear a beep and the LED starts flashing blue. Take a deep breath in and hold it, and release the button. You will hold your breath for 10 seconds. NOTE: If you cannot hold your breath for a full 10 seconds, you may begin holding your breath a few seconds after the first notification beep. In this case, you will hold your breath for less than 10 seconds. Your breath CO (ppm) results may be slightly lower if you do not hold your breath for the full 10 seconds. c. After about 8 seconds, you will hear the first of 3 beeps to prepare you to blow into the sensor. d. Upon the third beep, gently blow into the straw and CO Breath Sensor for about 12 seconds or until you exhaust your entire breath. e. After you stop blowing, the LED will flash either green or red. Table 1. LED Light Indications After Breath Sample LED Light Green Red Description You provided an adequate breath sample and your data was saved Your breath sample was not adequate, which may be due to: 1. You started blowing into the sensor before the third beep (too early) 2. You waited too long after the third beep before starting to blow (too late) 3. You did not blow long enough (minimum 6 seconds) (not long enough) f. The CO values and the date and time of the breath sample are saved on the CO Breath Sensor until it syncs with your smartphone. g. Syncing occurs automatically when the app is open and is able to connect to the CO Breath Sensor (sensor is near-by, smartphone Bluetooth is on, sensor is charged). h. If you need to cancel a breath test at any time after initiating, hold down the Breath Sensor button for 3 seconds (you will feel a slight pulse to confirm it cancelled, and the LED will stop flashing).

If paired, the CO Breath Sensor and application will sync automatically. 14 Frequently Asked Questions • What if I can’t hold my breath for the 10 seconds prior to blowing into the CO Breath Sensor? Try waiting a few seconds after being prompted to take a deep breath in. This shortens your breath hold time by a few seconds. As a result, the CO ppm readings may be lower than if you had held your breath for the full 10 seconds. • How can I review how to give a breath sample? Go to the Help screen and repeat the video tutorial and/or Guided Breath Test. 11 Carrot Sense, Inc.
