MSA OptimAir PAPR Respirator (Medium) for abatement, nuclear, and other industries with hazardous particulate environments

Features & Applications:

The respirator filters particulates and provides a constant flow of respirable air directly to the Advantage 3000 Ultravue® facepiece. Because it does not have a breathing tube, the unit is more compact than other powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs), enhancing user maneuverability and simplifying decontamination.

Complete units include motor/blower, nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery, dual-rate charger, one Type HEPA OptiFilter XL cartridge, belt and Advantage 3000. The low-profile NiMH battery pack is lightweight (12.5 oz.), fits close to the body, and is small enough to fit in most pockets. The battery provides eight hours of continuous use, lasting a full work shift. NiMH batteries do not have a "memory effect" like NiCd batteries. The sealed, water-resistant battery pack is designed for easy shower decontamination. The dual-rate smart charger is a standard accessory with this unit. The charger can recharge a battery in less than three hours. An LED indicates battery condition.
