Page: 6 / 36

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2. Snap filter cover onto
both cartridges taking
care not to damage the
filter.
Note: If using the Comfo/Advantage Adapter, follow the
instructions supplied in the Comfo/Advantage kit.
RESPIRATOR USE LIMITATIONS
The wearer must comply with the following MSA respira-
tor use limitations:
A. MAXIMUM USE CONCENTRATION – Do not exceed
any of the following:
1. Routine Use –
a. 50 times the exposure limit for the contaminants
present if using a quantitative fit test method.
Using a qualitative fit test may reduce the
maximum use concentration. See the Respirator
Fit Test section.
b. Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH)
concentration for any contaminant present.
2. Escape (for Gas Mask only) –
B. The limitations outlined in the applicable NIOSH
approval
C. Any applicable limitation contained in a standard
established by regulatory agency (such as OSHA) with
jurisdiction over the wearer.
An appropriate cartridge change-out schedule must be
developed by a qualified professional unless the car-
tridge/canister uses an end-of-service-life indicator. The
change-out schedule must take into account all factors
that may influence respiratory protection including spe-
cific work practices and other conditions unique to the
workers’ environment. If using against substances hav-
ing poor warning properties there is no secondary
means of knowing when to replace the cartridge/ canis-
ter. In such cases, take appropriate additional precau-
tions such as a more conservative change-out schedule
or use of an air-supplied respirator or SCBA to prevent
overexposure. Failure to follow this warning can result in
serious personal injury or death.

warning properties:
