wherein the rotary piece comprises at least one protrusion.
5. The cable guide according to claim 3 , wherein the cable guide is configured to be rotatable with respect to the attachment portion in a range of at least 180 degrees.
6. The cable guide according to claim 1 , further comprising a connector configured to connect the cable and the cable guide to each other.
7. The cable guide according to claim 1 , wherein the guide portion has a pair of opposing side walls that are formed in a curved shape along which the lead-out direction is changed.
8. The cable guide according to claim 1 , wherein the guide portion is configured to change the lead-out direction of the cable from the predetermined direction to a desired direction, wherein the desired direction is ±90 degrees from the predetermined direction.
9. The cable guide according to claim 1 , wherein:
the guide portion defines a curved channel having a first end and a second end, and
the curved channel is configured to receive the cable such that the cable extends through the first end along the lead-out direction and extends through the second end along a desired direction that is different from the predetermined direction.
10. The cable guide according to claim 9 , wherein the desired direction is ±90 degrees from the predetermined direction.
11. A detection device and cable guide,
the detection device comprising a cable lead-out portion and a cable extending from the cable lead-out portion in a predetermined direction, and
the cable guide comprising:
a guide portion configured to change a lead-out direction of the cable with respect to the cable lead-out portion; and
an attachment portion configured to detachably attach the guide portion to the detection device.
12. The detection device and cable guide according to claim 11 , wherein the detection device includes a respiratory gas detection device.
13. The detection device and cable guide according to claim 11 , wherein the guide portion has a pair of opposing side walls that are formed in a curved shape along which the lead-out direction is changed.
14. The detection device and cable guide according to claim 11 , wherein:
the guide portion defines a curved channel having a first end and a second end, and
the curved channel is configured to receive the cable such that the cable extends through the first end along the lead-out direction and extends through the second end along a desired direction that is different from the predetermined direction.
