APPROVALS, CAUTIONS & LIMITATIONS
NIOSH approval
The 3M™ Versao™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 Assembly is one component of a NIOSH approved
respiratory system. Refer to these User Instructions and/or the NIOSH Approval Label provided with the TR-800 for a listing
of components and optional accessories that can be used to assemble a complete NIOSH approved respirator system or
contact 3M Technical Service.
NIOSH Cautions and Limitations
A – Not for use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen.
B – Not for use in atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health.
C – Do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by regulatory standards.
F – Do not use powered air-purifying respirators if airow is less than four cfm (115 lpm) for tight tting facepieces or six
cfm (170 lpm) for hoods and/or helmets.
H – Follow established cartridge and canister change schedules or observe ESLI to ensure that cartridge and canisters are
replaced before breakthrough occurs.
J – Failure to properly use and maintain this product could result in injury or death.
L – Follow the manufacturer’s User’s Instructions for changing cartridges, canister and/or lters.
