For entry, do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by regulatory
standards.
(USA) The CBRN PAPR (tight-fitting facepiece) with canister approvals (TC-14G
approval labels) may be used for escape from IDLH atmospheres.
If during use an unexpected hazard is encountered, such as a secondary CBRN
device, pockets of entrapped hazard or an unforeseen hazard, immediately leave the
area for clean air.
This respirator provides respiratory protection against inhalation of radiological and
nuclear dust particles. Procedures for monitoring radiation exposure and full radiation
protection must be followed.
If you sense any of the following danger signals:
o
smell or taste of contaminants
o
eye, nose or throat irritation
o
breathing difficulty
o
uncomfortably warm breathing air
o
dizziness, nausea or vomiting
immediately leave the contaminated area. Do not remove the respirator until you
have reached clean air and after decontamination as required.
Some CBRN agents may not present immediate effects from exposure, but can result
in delayed impairment, illness or death.
Explosive atmospheres
Contains electrical parts which may cause an ignition in flammable or explosive
atmospheres. Do not use in flammable or explosive atmospheres.
Exposure to flame
Do not use in contact with flame. Do not use for fire fighting.
Decontamination
Direct contact with CBRN agents requires proper handling of the respirator after each
use and between multiple entries during the same use. Decontamination and disposal
procedures must be followed. If contaminated with liquid chemical warfare agents
dispose of the respirator after decontamination.
Dermal (skin) hazards
Use in conjunction with personal protective ensembles that provide appropriate levels
of protection against dermal hazard. Failure to do so may result in personal injury
even when the respirator is properly fitted, used and maintained.
Duration of use after exposure to chemical warfare agents
Do not use beyond eight (8) hours after initial exposure to chemical warfare agents to
avoid the possibility of agent permeation.
Do not use beyond two (2) hours after initial exposure to liquid chemical warfare
agents.
Follow these User Instructions
