Before Use - Spasciani H 900 ABEK 15 Instrucciones De Uso

▪ Gas filter type 901 ABEK against organic gas and vapours with boiling point 65°C, inorganic gas and vapours, acid
and alkaline gases.
▪ Combined filter type 901 ABEK P, against organic gas and vapours with boiling point 65°C, inorganic gas and vapours,
acid and alkaline gases, against dust, smoke and mist with protection factor equivalent to a class P2 filter.
2. DESIGNED USE
Spasciani M 900 ABEK 15 and M 900 ABEK P 15 escape respirators are designed for use in sudden leaks from industrial
plants, due to accidents or other reasons, of toxic substances for the respiratory tract. These substances may be
organic or inorganic gas and vapours, sulphur dioxide, hydrochloric acid and other acid gases, ammonia and its
derivates, and dust, smoke and mist. The masks are suitable for a leak lasting 15 minutes and can only be used once.
They do not protect from Carbon Monoxide!
Icon
The hood has also been tested in accordance with EN 403 standard and therefore has a very high degree of protection.
3. LIMITATIONS TO USE
Only use if the surrounding air has an oxygen volume content between 17 and 21% (or as specified in current
-
national laws).
Do not use the device to evacuate silos or confined spaces generally.
-
Do not use the H 900 ABEK15 and H 900 ABEK P 15 hoods if carbon monoxide is present (CO).
-
These devices are disposable and must not be used more than once.
-
The device leaktightness depends on the size and shape of the user's face, e.g. beard, sideburns, deep scars, could
-
all affect the perfect leaktightness between the half-mask edge, the collar and the face.
Users with long hair must make sure to completely cover it with the hood to ensure sealing.
-
The presence of eyeglasses could make it difficult to wear the hood. It is recommended to take them off before
-
using the device.
These devices are not recommended for users having narrow neck (circumference < 260 mm, such as children),
-
since the necessary sealing could not be achieved.
The respirator can only be used for leaks or self-preservation operations and only if there is a risk of toxic substances in
-
not very high concentrations (if there are high concentrations of toxic substances the usage time could be reduced).
The device provides limited protection against solvents with low boiling point.
-
As soon as you smell or taste the pollutants, leave the area: this means the filter is saturated.

4. USE

4.1 Before use

Check the package before use. Do not use the respirator if the seal seems compromised. Do not use the respirator if
the bag is opened or damaged. Always check the expiry date on the label on the bag.
4.2 Use
(See Fig.1, 2, 3)
• Open the bag by gripping with one hand the part marked with the "SPASCIANI" logo and pull strongly downward
with the other hand until the sealed part opens completely, as shown in Fig.1. Should the bag not get opened the
first time, grasp directly the flap of the bag and open.
• Pull out the hood by the fabric; avoid pulling by the valve or by the elastic strap; follow the indications given shown
in Fig.2.
• Wear the hood as shown in Fig.3: enlarge the elastic collar using both hands; position and pull the hood over the
head until it fits properly.
No special adjustment is required since the elastic strap causes the half-mask to adhere to the face of the user. If the
mask is not correctly positioned, grasp it by the filter and pull forward to position properly the mask so that it adheres
perfectly to the mouth and nose. The hair must be completely covered by the hood.
• Once the hood is on the user's face, identify the escape route. Breathe calmly.
5. MAINTENANCE / EXPIRY DATE
The maximum life for an escape respirator is 5 years, as shown on the container label. After changing the filter, the
useful life for the respirator is extended by 5 years. Dispose of the escape respirator after 10 years (see the production
date stamp inside the half-mask).
Respirator maintenance must only be carried out by specialised trained personnel and using only original Spasciani
spare parts.
