Am I required to measure the carbon monoxide levels in a property for a pregnant tenant?

Hi, I have a pregnant tenant who has raised a question of how do we ensure that the carbon monoxide levels in the house are at the required level.
As her CO level has been measured by the hospital and was at 13 parts per million (ppm). For a non-smoking person it should be around 3ppm. Is this my responsibility to measure this and who would do it? The property has just had a new gas certificate issued in May 2024, which is valid until May 2025.
Thanks,
Steven

I always put the re-newal date sticker or write it on the inside of the battery cover. The same if I change the batteries although this is technically the tenants responsibility on the AST.

There is no requirement for Carbon Monoxide Meters, unless you meant Carbon Monoxide Detectors. You can get some CO detectors that have a digital display that can indicate highest PPM CO that was registered on it, until it is reset but there is always some ambient CO reading, including CO emitted by gas cooker burners, gas ovens, naked candles, etc.
