Cleaning
The mask must be cleaned after every use so that it is clean before it is

necessary to keep in a sanitary condition.
Respirators that are issued to more than one employee must be cleaned
before being worn by different individuals.

Clean the mask with a cloth and lukewarm water mixed with an all-
purpose detergent, e.g. Airkem 33.

it in a sanitary condition. It is fully in the user’s responsibility to make sure
that the mask is totally free of contaminants after this treatment.
●
Immerse the mask in a disinfectant bath.
●
Rinse thoroughly under running water.
For exposure to CBRN agents Dräger does not provide recommendations
for decontamination. Never use a mask again, which is not properly
disinfected and decontaminated. In case of doubts dispose of the mask in
accordance with the local regulations and use a new mask!
