The chemical oxygen apparatus SavOxCap 60 is contained in an enclosed and
sealed container.
The respiratory protection device contained in the container includes a chemical
canister and a hood with half-mask which is connected to the canister by a
breathing tube. The canister contains potassium hyperoxide (KO

), which is
required for the regeneration of the exhaled air. The speech diaphragm which is
integrated in the breathing connection permits speech communication.
The apparatus is equipped with a starter for the initiation of use which is actuated
when the apparatus is put on. The breathing bag then fills with oxygen. During the
escape, the breathing air prepared in the KO
2
canister is made available in the
breathing bag.
