6.2. Cleaning and disinfecting
The half‐mask must be cleaned carefully after each use to remove all traces of sweat
and condensation from inside. To do this, remove the filter, and wash the mask with
warm water using neutral soap and a soft cloth. Rinse under running water. To disinfect
the mask, rub the silicon part in contact with the user's face using a cloth soaked in
normal disinfectant (e.g. solution based on electrolytic oxidising chlorine).
Rinse carefully under running water to prevent the silicone absorbing the cleansing and
disinfecting substances. It is always advisable to wash and disinfect it after each use.
Do not use solvents (e.g. acetone or alcohol) or detergents containing abrasive
particles.
6.3. Maintenance intervals
6.3.1.
Check the half‐mask
It is good practice to check the respirator is in good working order before each use
and, if the mask is in storage, every year. Carefully check the membrane in the
exhalation valve is in good condition and not stuck to its housing, and also check the
facepiece and harness are in good condition. If any parts need changing, only use
original Spasciani spare parts (contact the commercial office for any spare parts that
are not listed in paragraph 8).
6.3.2.
Changing the exhalation membrane
To check and change the exhalation membrane, if need be, without using any tools,
proceed as follows:
‐ Open the valve cover by pulling the tab on the edge.
‐ Remove the membrane by pulling it forcefully outwards
‐ Change the membrane, sliding the pin into the hole and pulling it from inside the
half‐mask
‐ Replace the cover.
6.3.3.
Changing the filter
To change the filter without using any tools, proceed as follows:
‐ By hand, pull the filter out of its housing in the half‐mask
‐ Throw the used filter away
‐ Insert the new filter after removing its protective film: place the filter connection in
its housing in the half‐mask at an angle of approximately 60°; rotate the filter
pushing it into the half‐mask until it is firmly fixed in place.
‐ Check the filter is in the correct position by looking inside the half‐mask.
6.4. Disposal
Used filters must be disposed of as hazardous waste, according to current waste
disposal laws.
7. CERTIFICATION AND MARKINGS
7.1. EC Certification
M 900 P3 half‐masks are Personal Protection Equipment of complex design as defined
