The OptimAir Mask-Mounted Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) is designed for abatement, nuclear, lead and other hazardous particulate environments. The PAPR filters particulates from ambient air and provides a constant flow of respirable air to the Advantage 3100, 4100, Ultravue or Ultra Elite Facepiece. The mask-mounted motor/blower with HEPA filter has a low profile design that enhances user maneuverability and simplifies decontamination.

The PAPR includes a small, lightweight, water-resistant nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack that will operate for eight hours of continuous use. Weighing only 12.5 oz., it measures only 3"x 5"x 1". The lowprofile unit fits close to the wearer’s body. The sealed battery pack is water-resistant for easy shower decontamination. Another advantage: NiMH batteries do not have the “memory effect” associated with NiCad batteries. The standard Dual-Rate Battery Charger will recharge a fully discharged battery in less than three hours. Metal connectors on cable ends provide a durable and secure fit to the battery and blower housing. NIOSH approved as mask-mounted PAPR and also approved as a negative-pressure APR for egress.
