MSA
OptimAir® 6HC Health Care PAPR
The
OptimAir 6HC PAPR (Health Care Powered Air-Purifying
Respirator) from MSA is specifically designed to protect
health care professionals from residual Chemical/Biological/
Radiological Agents, when they are performing First Responder
duties during Homeland Security or terrorist situations.
The system features a lightweight, chemical-resistant Tychem SL Hood and belt-mounted
blower with two HC CBA/RCA canisters.The canisters contain a pleated high-efficiency
(P-100) filter to remove aerosols, radionuclides, and solid particulates; and
an impregnated activated carbon bed to adsorb (filter out) gases and vapors.
The carbon bed is the same as used in military canisters and is effective against
mustard (HD), Sarin (GB), DMMP (a Sarin simulant), HCN, and CK.
The hood, which weighs approximately eight ounces, has a fully adjustable suspension
and soft fabric collar for extended-wear comfort. Positive pressure inside the
hood keeps contaminants out and eliminates the need for fit testing; so the hood
can be worn over eyeglasses, long hair, and beards. Front and rear bibs provide
neck-opening protection without restricting arm movement. A wraparound lens helps
to minimize claustrophobia and provides excellent visibility.

Matrix
Operation: A
battery-powered blower unit pulls air through 2 cartridges & delivers
a continuous flow of purified air. The OptimAir 6A is designed to
provide air flow in excess of the NIOSH required minimum flow rate.
Air pressure in the facepiece or hood is higher than the surrounding
atmosphere, so that in the event of a small leak in the facepiece/hood
seal, air will flow from inside the facepiece or hood to the outside.This
positive facepiece pressure is maintained,even under high work rates.
The constant flow of air also provides a cooling effect to the wearer’s
face.
Belt-mounted Motor/Blower Unit -
Has a highly efficient 4.6v long-life motor & threaded connectors for quick & easy
attachment of cartridges.
Breathing Tube -
A 30” corrugated breathing tube (or a 19” version
when used with a hood) connects the blower unit to the facepiece.
A coupling nut allows for easy detachment & cleaning of the tube,
while a threaded connector on the blower unit further simplifies
removal & cleaning.
Facepieces/Hoods -
To accommodate the wide range of users and respiratory protection needs,
OptimAir 6HC PAPRs are available with either a 3100 facepiece or a
Tyvek hood. The Tyvek hood is designed
primarily for workers with beards and other physical features that
might interfere with the
facial seal of a tight-fitting facepiece. It is available in either
shoulder- or waist-length versions. Both feature a knit collar for
comfort. The hood has a high-performance air distribution system
that helps keep the hood lens fog-free. Its disposable outer cover
eliminates the inconvenience and expense of cleaning. For added protection,
the hood can accommodate a hardhat whenever head protection is required.When
a hardhat is not worn,a Simple Hood Suspension System securely holds
the hood.
