Wrist worn carbon monoxide detector

Abstract

An apparatus including a band; and a first device configured to attach to a person's wrist using the band; wherein the first device includes a first carbon monoxide level detector; wherein the first device includes a housing and a second device configured to be moved with respect to the housing from a first state to a second state; wherein in the first state a person cannot blow into the second device and cause a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath to be detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector; and wherein in the second state the person can blow into the second device and cause a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath to be detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector. The first device may include a second carbon monoxide level detector which is configured to detect a carbon monoxide level in ambient air.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a band; and   a first device configured to attach to a person's wrist using the band;   wherein the first device includes a first carbon monoxide level detector;   wherein the first device includes a housing and a second device configured to be moved with respect to the housing from a first state to a second state;   wherein in the first state a person cannot blow into the second device and cause a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath to be detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector;   wherein in the second state the person can blow into the second device and cause a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath to be detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the first device includes a second carbon monoxide level detector which is configured to detect a carbon monoxide level in ambient air. 
 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the first device includes a computer display which is configured to display a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector. 
 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein
 the first device includes a computer display which is configured to display a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector; and 
 the computer display is also configured to display a carbon monoxide level in ambient air detected by the second carbon monoxide detector. 
 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the first device includes a heart rate monitor. 
 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein
 the second carbon monoxide detector emits a colored light when a sufficient amount of carbon monoxide is detected. 
 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the first device includes an SpO2 detector. 
 
     
     
         8 . A method comprising the steps of:
 attaching a first device to a person's wrist by a band; and   moving a second device with respect to a housing of the first device, from a first state to a second state;   wherein the first device includes a first carbon monoxide level detector;   wherein in the first state a person cannot blow into the second device and cause a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath to be detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector; and   wherein in the second state the person can blow into the second device and cause a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath to be detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein
 the first device includes a second carbon monoxide level detector which is configured to detect a carbon monoxide level in ambient air. 
 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8  wherein
 the first device includes a computer display which is configured to display a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector. 
 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein
 the first device includes a computer display which is configured to display a carbon monoxide level of the person's breath detected by the first carbon monoxide level detector; and 
 the computer display is also configured to display a carbon monoxide level in ambient air detected by the second carbon monoxide detector. 
 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8  wherein
 the first device includes a heart rate monitor. 
 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8  wherein
 the first device includes an SpO2 detector. 
 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9  wherein
 the second carbon monoxide detector emits a colored light when a sufficient amount of carbon monoxide is detected.
