Hi folks,

When totally promoting the use of Alcohol Hand Gel with our Time 2 Quit team, I have been informed from a rep that the CO monitors that we use, staffs hands should not be decontaminated with Alcohol Hand gel as the alcohol vapours permanate the casing. affects the sensour and increases the reading!! He recommends a Alcohol free wipe. Has anyone else heard of this.
The literature that he sent me, does not mention alcohol on hands at all.

Many thanks

Kate
