Respirators labeled for protection against gases/vapors only shall not be used for
particulates. The employer is responsible for establishing that this respirator is
suitable for the user's application.
• Air purifying respirators shall not be used underwater, for fumigation, interior
structural firefighting, abrasive blasting operations or in areas where high heat,
sparks or flames could contact the respirator.
• Routinely used respirators must be inspected before and after each use. Stored
emergency respirators must be inspected after each use and at least once every 30
days. A written record must be kept of inspections of emergency respirators.
• Do not use this respirator in environments where the concentrations of
contaminants are unknown or are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH).
IDLH atmospheres are defined as those which the wearer could not breathe for short
periods, could not escape without the aid of a respirator or which have an immediate
or delayed adverse effect on health.
• This respirator must be worn and used as specified in DeVilbiss' instructions.
• DeVilbiss cannot predict what will happen to this respirator in every potential
environment. Materials can be chemically attacked if exposed to the wrong
environment and may exhibit excessive corrosion or other forms of damage.
Permeation or penetration of gases, liquids, or particles through the materials could
be excessive. Extremes of temperature might cause thermal degradation. Each of
these things, or a combination of them, could create conditions in which this
DeVilbiss respirator would be dangerous to use.
