Rev. 5.0
The Multimask Pro is designed to protect the respiratory organs and the face from gas and particulate pollutants
and is used with an air source. The air source can be a battery operated blower filter unit according to EN 12941 or a
compressed air control valve according to EN 14594. Together with an air source the Multimask Pro can be used as a
respiratory protection system.
The face shield can only be used with an air source, as this is the only way to create the necessary overpressure to
prevent pollutants from entering the Multimask Pro.
The use of a respirator must be part of a respiratory protection program. See EN 529:2005 for details.
The instructions contained in these standards point out important aspects of the respiratory protection program, but
are not intended as a substitute for national or local regulations (e.g. DGUV rule 112-190 [former BGR 190 rules] for
the use of respiratory protection devices / BGI 504-26 - Selection criteria for special occupational health precautions
according to the principle of the German Employer's Liability Insurance Association, G26 "Respiratory protection de-
vices").
If you are not sure about the selection and handling of the equipment, please contact your supervisor or the point
of sale. You may also contact e-breathe Safety's technical service department or selected service centers at any time.
The Multimask Pro can be used in combination with a powered air purifying respirator as an alternative to a filter
protection wherever filtering respiratory protection is recommended.
The Multimask Pro can be used in combination with a compressed air control valve as an insulating device wherever
insulating respiratory protection is recommended.
For the selection of the appropriate respiratory protection (filtering respiratory protection or insulating respiratory
protection) the following factors must be considered:
•
Type of contamination
•
Concentration
•
Workload
•
Protection needs that exceeds the respiratory protection requirements
The risk analysis must be carried out by persons with the relevant training and experience in the area concerned.
