CBRN Applications
WARNING!
Do NOT use this device without the correct training and a complete understanding of its limitations.
Misuse can prevent the respirator from supplying the necessary protection.
This respirator supplies LIMITED protection. The device is approved by NIOSH for respiratory
protection against atmospheres containing chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)
warfare agents; however, it cannot protect against all possible warfare agents.
Use this device with the applicable personal protective equipment and clothing necessary to
supply protection against dermal hazards.
Wear impermeable protective clothing to prevent exposure to gases and vapors that can poison
by skin absorption.
Exposure to some CBRN agents may not show immediate effects, but can result in delayed impair-
ment, illness, or death.
CBRN agents may NOT be identified by smell or sight. Don the respirator before going into an area
that may contain a CBRN agent. Obey the procedures set by the applicable authorities.
Do NOT use this respirator for more than 8 hours after initial use in an atmosphere that contains
CBRN agents or more than 2 hours after initial use in an atmosphere that contains CBRN agents
in liquid or mist form. Otherwise, agent permeation can occur.
Failure to obey these warnings, in addition to all instructions and protective measures for CBRN
agents, can result in serious injury or death.
