Long-lasting protection
October 1st 2008 Scott Health & Safety has
introduced the BioPak 240
Revolution 4h closed-circuit
breathing apparatus (CCBA)
for use in environments
needing long-duration
respiratory protection in
Immediately Dangerous to
Life and Health (IDLH)
environments.
Often referred to as a rebreather,
CCBAs are suitable
for use in applications where
there is the potential for
IDLH exposure for long
periods of time such as in
decontamination, urban
search and rescue, rail car
accidents, tunnel extrication
or collapse, structure
collapse or any environment
requiring fully encapsulated
gas tight suit applications.
The BioPak 240
Revolution CCBA features a
quick-change cooling system
that can be replaced while
being worn and without
breaking the breathing loop,
and a patented CO2
scrubbing system design
that uses solid absorbents
that supports rapid
deployment."
User comfort and safety
are key features of the unit
with an ergonomic, bodycontoured
design providing
a slim profile and allowing
for easy use under protective
gear. A fully-padded harness
system positions the unit on
the hips to reduce fatigue
and be easily adjusted to fit
any user size. More articles from Scott Safety Ltd: |
