System Description
The 3M™ Versao™ M-Series Headgear is a family of respirators designed to help meet the changing 
needs of users through a modular design and convertibility of major components. The M-100, M-200 
and M-300 Series loose tting facepieces and the M-400 Series Helmets are designed to be used with 
certain 3M™ Breathing Tubes and Powered Air Purifying (PAPR) or Supplied Air (SA) units to form a 
respiratory system. In addition, all 3M™ M-Series Headgear meet the test requirements of certain eye 
and face protection standards, and the M-300 and M-400 Series Headgear meet test requirements 
of certain industrial head protection standards. See “Approvals” section of these User Instructions for 
additional information.
The M-100 Series Respiratory Faceshields have a wide-view ip-up visor, fully adjustable ratchet 
suspension, and a fabric faceseal. An integral air deector allows the user to position the airow for 
wearing comfort. When used with the optional M-170 Faceshield Inserts, the M-100 Series Headgear 
offers lightweight head coverage from dirt, debris, and overspray as well as minimal head protection from 
contact with stationary objects (i.e. “bump” protection). 
The M-200 Series Respiratory Faceshields have similar features to the M-100 Respiratory Faceshields, 
including a liftable wide-view visor assembly and an integral air deector to direct the airow inside the 
headgear. Unlike the M-100 Series Headgear, the M-200 Series Headgear comes with a solid headgear 
shell to provide lightweight head coverage from dirt, debris, and overspray as well as minimal head 
protection from contact with stationary objects (i.e. “bump” protection). 
The M-300 Series Respiratory Hardhats have similar features to the M-100 and M-200 Respiratory 
Faceshields, including a liftable wide-view visor assembly and an integral air deector to direct the 
airow inside the headgear. Unlike the M-100 Series Headgear, the M-300 Series Headgear comes 
with a solid headgear shell, and unlike the M-100 or M-200 it has been tested to certain industrial head 
protection standards.  
The M-400 Series Helmets are designed to offer the highest level of respiratory protection of the M-Series 
range. This “jawed” product provides coverage for the neck and shoulders through a versatile two piece 
inner and outer neck shroud design. The M-400 Series Headgear uses the same fully adjustable head 
suspension and headgear shell as the M-300 Series Headgear.  
Optional accessories and a variety of faceseal, shroud, and visor materials are available for the M-Series 
Headgear, giving the user a choice of congurations for specic applications. 
W WARNING
Properly selected, used, and maintained respirators help protect against certain airborne contaminants 
by reducing airborne concentrations in the wearer’s breathing zone below the Occupational Exposure 
Limit (OEL). It is essential to follow all instructions and government regulations on the use of this 
product, which includes wearing the complete respirator system during all times of exposure, in order 
for the product to help protect the wearer. Misuse of respirators may result in overexposure to 
contaminants and lead to sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor, refer to the product 
User Instructions or contact 3M Technical Service.
