FILTER USE
NIOSH is currently drafting advice on the use of CBRN APR lters, however
whenever using these lters, the following principles must be borne in
mind:
• CBRN Air Purifying Respirators are only intended for use in non-IDLH
environments.
• Not to be used in a “hot zone”.
• Permissible for escape from unknown environments in certain
circumstances.
• Air purifying respirators do not protect in the event of oxygen
deciency. Do not use if the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere is
likely to be less than 19.5%.
• A lter change schedule in accordance with OSHA or MSHA
requirements must be implemented following a suitable and sucient
risk assessment carried out by the incident commander.
• Filters and masks must never be used for longer than 8 hours following
exposure to gas/vapor agents, or for longer than 2 hours following
exposure to liquid agents. In some circumstances lter replacement may
be required well in advance of this time depending on the nature and
concentration of contamination.
• Do not re-use lters that have been exposed to contaminants.
• It is normally appropriate to keep at least 2 spare lters in immediate
reserve for each mask for use in the event of an incident.
• NIOSH cautions and limitations must be followed in all cases.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions contained in each box at all times.
pACKAGING
CBRNF12B is foil packed.
pERFORMANCE
Breathing resistance
400 Pa @ 85 l/min airow (40mmWG) or less.
Environmental
The materials used and the method of construction of the lter canister has
been designed for operation and storage in accordance with NIOSH CBRN
criteria. When stored in its original packaging the lter canister retains its
operational eectiveness and eciency with no degradation to its
performance under the following environmental storage conditions:
Temperature –32°C to 71°C
The lters have been exposed to high and low ambient storage
temperatures without harmful eects.
Humidity range – 0% to 88% RH
The lter has been tested following storage in high humidity environments
and has found to be eective.
Rain
The lter will retain its eectiveness in heavy rainfall conditions and it is not
prone to water ingress.
Salt Breeze
The lter will not deteriorate with exposure to salt breezes for 24 hours.
Sand and Dust
The lter will not deteriorate when exposed to 24 hours of wind driven
sand and dust conditions.
Shelf life
The predicted shelf life of the lter canister (sealed and packaged) is 5
years.
ADDITIONAL OpERATIONAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The external surface of the CBRNF12B is easily decontaminated.
WARNINGS
• This device does not provide oxygen and must not be used in an oxygen decient atmosphere or conned space.
• Must not be used for re ghting or for protection against airborne products of combustion.
• Should only be used as part of a managed respirator program.
• Customer must verify that the lter is suitable for the intended application.
• Respirator lters are not suitable for all gases/vapors. Customer should verify that the lter is suitable for gases/vapors likely to be encountered.
Consult Avon if unsure.
• Once exposed to a suspected contaminant, the lter will usually require replacement, and must be disposed of as contaminated waste. Re-use of exposed
lters is only permitted in certain controlled circumstances and as part of a managed program, consult Avon if unsure.
