The Xintex CMD5-M CO alarm uses a sensor operating with a microprocessor to measure Carbon Monoxide (CO) levels Using a “Time Weighted Average” (TWA) process, it monitors CO concentration, temperature and time to calculate levels of Carboxhemoglobin (COHb). COHb is the degree to which the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is impeded by the union of carbon monoxide to the hemoglobin and is expressed as a percentage. The body absorbs CO easier than oxygen and COHB is the ratio of the absorbed carbon monoxide to oxygen in the bloodstream. The CMD5-M alarm calculates the COHb as a function of time and determines the appropriate alarm response.
