From our observations I think that you are right.  One could tell if the 
scrubber is working by checking the temperature at various positions
in the bed.  This would not tell you your FiCO2 but assuming that the
scrubber design was "known" to be effective you would at least be able
to detect when the scrubber was exhausted.  This would take a fair amount
of research to establish the actual "signature" of a dead vs live 
scrubber under various conditions.  Currently we're having a hard time 
just finding the time to complete our next version of the "Black Widow"!
