Background

About the new CBRN PAPR Standard
On October 6, 2006, NIOSH released a new CBRN
standard for powered air-purifying respirators
(PAPRs)
MSA has partnered with Safety Tech to provide a
system that passes the performance requirements
of the new standard
Tight-fitting facepiece PAPRs are designed for
First Responders
Loose-fitting facepiece PAPRs are designed for
First Receivers
The Responder CBRN PAPR is MSAs answer to the
standard
The Responder CBRN PAPR is the first CBRN PAPR
with tight-fitting facepiece to be approved by
NIOSH

Background

Responder CBRN PAPR provides non-IDLH protection
for extended periods of time for
First Responders
Military Personnel
Special Operations Personnel

Background

Three Components
C420 Blower
Purchased from Safety Tech
Same blower used by Safety Tech, Dräger, Scott
Over 50,000 fielded in the Apache Helicopter
program, U.S. Special Forces, Federal tactical
units, and U.S. and U.K. Army NBC patient
chemical casualty wrap programs
Facepieces
Millennium Facepiece
Ultra Elite Facepiece
Cartridges
Responder CBRN Cartridge
OptiFilter XL Cartridge
GME Multigas HE Cartridge

C420 PAPR

A belt-mounted powered air-purifying respirator
that forces ambient air through filters to the
facepiece
The motor-blower provides constant air flow of at
least 115 lpm to the facepiece via the breathing
tube
Reduces fatigue by virtually eliminating
breathing resistance
Ideal for extended wear times

7
C420 PAPR

Creates a cooling effect that eliminates
facepiece fogging and keeps the user more
comfortable
Continuous air flow creates a slight positive
pressure
EMI-shielded to MIL-STD-461C, so it wont
interfere with radio communications
PAPRs offer an OSHA-assigned protection factor 20
times greater than APRs

Facepieces

Millennium
Commercial version of MCU-2/P (developed for Air
Force during Operation Desert Storm)
Same facepiece as CBRN gas mask, so no need for
multiple fit tests
Nose cup has 2 check valves to improve air flow,
minimize lens fogging
Six-point head harness maximizes comfort,
improves ease of donning
Drinking tube allows wearer to ingest water
without removing mask

Cartridges

Responder Cartridge
NIOSH-approved for CBRN PAPR
CBRN-approved for both APR and PAPR
Provides longer service life for ammonia,
formaldehyde, and acid gases than GME Cartridge

12
Cartridges

OptiFilter XL HE
Type H filtera HEPA, P100 particulate filter
(99.97 efficient against all aerosols, oily and
non-oily)
Effective against particulates (dusts and mists)
but not poison gases or vapors
Filter efficiency improves with use, but users
probably need to change filters when pressure
drop gets too high for blower to operate
effectively
Choose for dust-filled environments

13
Cartridges

PAPR GME Multigas HE
A combination cartridge comprised of P100 filter
and activated carbon bed to absorb poison gases
and vapors
Filters out a broad spectrum of agents, such as
acid gases (including chlorine, sulfur dioxide,
and chlorine dioxide), ammonia, formaldehyde, and
organic vapors
Carbon bed lasts only as long as carbon is not
saturated with chemical, so GME has a limited
service life
Service life is a function of the challenge agent
concentration and flow rate plus environmental
factors (humidity and temperature)
Cartridge to choose for OSHA-regulated chemicals
with concentrations gtTLV
