GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The FireHawk M7 Responder APR is an air purifying respi-
rator intended for use in atmospheres which are not
immediately dangerous to life or health (non-IDLH). This
respirator is intended for applications which may require
the user to enter or exit a hazardous area, or work within
the area for a limited time.

Inhaled air is drawn through the canister which is designed
to remove, neutralize, and/or trap specific contaminates as
listed on the NIOSH approval insert. Exhaled air leaves the
facepiece through the facepiece exhalation valve. It is
important that the user becomes familiar with the applica-
tion and operation of the FireHawk M7 Responder APR
and ensures that it fits properly before use.

When properly fitted to the user, the Ultra Elite Responder
full facepiece with nosecup, head harness and Firehawk

Responder Regulator, combined with the appropriate can-
ister and breathing tube becomes a complete respiratory
protective device.

The respirator consists of the following subassemblies:
•

Ultra Elite

Responder (with nosecup)

•

Breathing Tube

•

Regulator

•

Canister

•

Neck Strap

•

Heads-Up-Display (HUD) (Optional)

Facepiece size is identified on the front of the facepiece
above the lens area.

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) con-

centration for any contaminant present.

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
canister utilizes an end-of-service-life indicator. The
change-out schedule must take into account all fac-
tors that may influence respiratory protection includ-
ing specific work practices and other conditions
unique to the workers’ environment. If using against
substances having poor warning properties, there is
no secondary means of knowing when to replace the
cartridge/canister. In such cases, take appropriate
additional precautions to prevent overexposure, which
may include a more conservative change-out schedule
or using an air-supplied respirator or SCBA. Failure to
follow this warning can result in serious personal
injury or death. As a reference, a partial list of sub-
stances having poor warning properties follows:
