3M RVTR602N Versaflo powered air purifying respirator unit features:
PAPRs, powered air purifying respirator are systems made to blow filtered air into the respiratory equipment, which provides air automatically rather than mechanically such as regular respirators. 3M RVTR602N motor/blower paired with 3M RBS/433L facepiece differs from other PAPRs by its lightness, its ergonomic and its versatility which allows everyone, even bearded men to be protected when well installed. This type of equipment offers a protection up to 1000 times the permissible exposure limit set by the CNESST or any other government regulation applicable. PAPRs minimize the effort put into breathing and can reduce build up heat inside the facepiece. It features a smart engine which adapts accordingly to the filters in use. It is also equipped with an alarm system - one audible and one LED – which alert the user to either a low battery or low airflow. The powered unit has three airflow settings: standard, medium and high flow. The engine starts automatically at the standard flow and the user can change the settings afterwards accordingly to his needs. This powered unit allows one to use combined filter/cartridges, which means it’s more powerful than previous equipment. Please note that this equipment is not intrinsically safe. This PAPR contains no natural rubber latex.

RBS/433L facepiece features:
This hood is disposable and is equipped with a preassembled and integrated head harness for a ready-to-use product. The textile part is made of laminated polypropylene, that is, a light and abrasion resistant material. Moreover, the S-series lens low curvature offers an excellent field of vision and reduces annoying reflections and glare. Finally, this hood allows an optimal air distribution which minimizes whistling noises for a greater comfort and noise reduction.

Use for: 
This type of respiratory protection system is recommended for work that will loosen solid particles, vapors and gases in the air such as work in health facilities, food factories and pharmaceutical laboratories. The facepiece is disposable which is safer for users being exposed to substances that may stay on the textile surface, thus contaminating users if they had to wash the facepiece.

Do not use for:
It can neither ensure the user intrinsic safety in an environment representing an explosion risk. It is strongly discouraged to wear any kind of respirator for application with sandblasting. It is also highly advised to stay away from environment that exceed 1000 times the permissible exposure limit set by the CNESST or any other government regulation applicable. One should never use a respirator in an oxygen deprived environment (an atmosphere with less than 19,5 % oxygen).

Maintenance and service life:
For a safer performance, manufacturer’s recommendation must be followed. 3M recommends an inspection of the respiratory equipment before each use; to wash the respirator after each use; and to store the respirator back to its packaging.

One should never wash its respirator with any type of solvents since they can weaken some components which can affect the efficiency of the equipment. Filtering elements must never be immersed in water. The motor/blower and the battery can now be immersed if equipped with the RVTR653 cleaning and storage kit.
