ELSA DASH/SPRINT 

Providing  the  apparatus  is  serviced 

regularly  in  accordance  with  the  service 

requirements, detailed in the 

ELSA Dash

or 

ELSA Sprint 

Service Manual, there are 

no shelf life limits. 

Dash

  and 

Sprint

  must  be  stored  away 

from direct heat and sunlight. They can be 

stored  and  operated  between  -15°C  and 

+60°C.  Prior  to  storing  in  very  low 

temperatures the apparatus, especially the 

exhale valve flap, must be completely dry. 

2.2  HOODS (DASH/SPRINT) 

 

Hood 

The  hood  has  an  inner  mask  to  minimise 

visor  misting  and  carbon  dioxide  dead 

space. A spring-loaded exhale valve helps 

maintain  a  positive  pressure  within  the 

facepiece. 
Hoods  are  fabricated  from  high-visibility, 

flame-resistant  materials  with  a  rubber 

neck seal. 
In  addition  to  the  standard  hood,  an  ‘EZ 

Clean’  (easy-clean)  version  is  available 

which  is  fabricated  from  a  more  durable 

material. 

2.3  FACEMASKS (SPRINT) 

Sprint

 is approved for use with 

PanaSeal

Vision 3

 and 

Promask PP

 full facemasks. 

All  facemasks  are  moulded  in  non-

dermatitic  material  and  can  be  supplied 

with  five  point  elastic  or  neoprene  head 

harnesses.
