Standard CO Alarms Wait Until 70 PPM. Infants Are Affected At 50. DetectMax Alerts You At 30.

The safety standard your alarm follows was written for a 180-pound adult.

It was never designed for a 10-pound baby.

DetectMax alerts you at levels that matter for your infant not just levels that matter for the standard.

As Seen On

Your Standard CO Alarm Was Never Designed To Protect An Infant. 

Here's what the research says and why it matters more for your baby than anyone else in the house.

What Happens To Your Infant's Body At CO Levels Your Alarm Ignores 

Based on peer-reviewed exposure data from the CDC, NIOSH, and the World Health Organization.

0-5 PPM

CO is already entering your infant’s blood almost 3x faster than yours. Fetal hemoglobin grabs it and holds it. They seem a little fussy. A little sleepy. You assume it’s a normal day.

6-30 PPM

Your baby won’t feed properly. They’re cranky, then strangely quiet. Weak. Pale. You think it’s colic and you rock them to sleep. They can’t tell you something is wrong. They just stop crying.

31-50 PPM

Your infant can pass out at this range. Their body is a fraction of your size. Their blood is still pulling in CO at almost 3x your rate. You feel a slight headache. They’ve gone silent.

51-69 PPM

Your baby may not wake up when you touch them. You’re confused, struggling to think straight. You need to carry them out but you can barely walk to their crib.

70+ PPM

Your standard co detector alarms.

    The Screen Said 11 PPM. Our Alarm On The Wall Said Nothing.

    We put DetectMax next to our 3-month-old’s crib the day it arrived. Two weeks later I glanced at it during a night feed 11 PPM. I picked her up and opened every window. Called HVAC the next morning. Cracked heat exchanger. Our hallway alarm never made a sound. It wasn’t broken. It just wasn’t designed to show us anything that low. She’d been sleeping next to it for who knows how long.

    I Packed It For My In-Laws’ House. Thank God I Did.

    Thanksgiving weekend, baby sleeping in the guest room right above their old furnace. I set DetectMax on the nightstand. By 9 PM it was reading 8 PPM. By 10 it was at 16. We moved the baby to the other side of the house and told my father-in-law to get the furnace checked. He said it was fine. It wasn’t. There was no CO alarm anywhere in that house.

    Our Pediatrician Asked What CO Monitor We Use.

    I mentioned I’d been getting headaches every morning and our 4-month-old had been unusually fussy for weeks. She asked if we had a gas furnace. We do. She asked if our CO alarm had gone off. It hadn’t. She told me to get a low-level monitor. DetectMax showed 9 PPM in the nursery with the door closed. We’d been blaming colic this entire time.

    First Airbnb Trip With The Baby. No CO Alarm In The Cabin.

    We drove three hours to a rental cabin in the mountains. First thing I did was check for a CO alarm. Nothing. Not on any floor. There was a gas fireplace and a propane heater. I set DetectMax on the shelf next to the pack-and-play and watched it all weekend. It stayed at 0. But I actually slept. Without it I would’ve been up all night wondering if the air was safe for her.

    Power Went Out. We Used The Space Heater. DetectMax Caught It.

    Ice storm knocked out power for two days. We brought the portable gas heater into the living room where the baby was sleeping in the bassinet. Within an hour DetectMax was showing 7 PPM. We turned the heater off and ventilated. Our regular alarm was dead no power, no battery backup. If we didn’t have this, my five-week-old would’ve been breathing that all night.

    I Thought She Was Just Colicky. For Three Months.

    Our daughter cried constantly. Wouldn’t feed. Always fussy. Everyone said it was colic. I bought DetectMax after reading about fetal hemoglobin and CO. Put it next to her crib. It read 6 PPM. Not high enough for our apartment alarm to ever show a thing. Landlord finally sent someone out the water heater vent was partially blocked. Within a week of the fix she was a different baby. I still think about those three months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your alarm does what it was designed to do protect a healthy adult. But infants absorb CO almost 3x faster, and the standard allows your alarm to stay silent at 30 PPM for 30 days. The WHO says 3.5 PPM is the 24-hour limit. Your alarm wasn’t built with your baby in mind.

Their blood grabs CO almost 3x harder than yours (fetal hemoglobin lasts about 6 months after birth). They breathe faster per pound of body weight. And they can’t tell you something feels wrong.

As close to where your baby breathes as possible. On the nightstand, magnetically attached to the crib frame, or on a shelf at crib height.

Yes. It runs on a built-in battery. No outlet needed. Fits in a diaper bag. Set it down, look at the screen, know.

0 means no CO detected. The WHO says anything above 3.5 PPM over 24 hours is too much. If you see the number climbing, that’s information your standard alarm would never show you. A quick-reference guide is included.

Your apartment alarm meets the legal minimum for adults. That minimum allows 30 PPM for 30 days with no alarm. DetectMax shows you readings from 1 PPM the levels that matter for your infant, not just the levels that matter for the standard.

CO, natural gas, smoke, temperature, and humidity all in one device.

0 means no CO detected. The WHO says anything above 3.5 PPM over 24 hours is too much. If you see the number climbing, that’s information your standard alarm would never show you. A quick-reference guide is included.
