During an emergency rescue operation, the following procedure shall be followed.
• The person making the rescue shall remove the Y-coupling rescue hose from the
left hip pouch of his/her own SCBA and from the person to be rescued. The
rescuer shall connect the Y-couplings together.
• Push the female connector of one Y-coupling onto the male coupling of the other.
The locking sleeve of the quick coupling will automatically move forward and
snap into place, locking the hoses together.
• Gently pull the hoses to ensure, that the couplings are secure.
• The rescuer shall listen for a strong ow of air from the SCBA of the person to be
rescued.
A: A strong ow of air would indicate a leakage on the SCBA of the person to be
rescued. If a strong leakage is heard, disconnect the rescue hose before the donor
loses his/her own air. Then call for a rescue team and use INTERSPIRO’s Revitox
mask.
B: If a strong ow of air leakage is not heard, close the cylinder valve of the
receiving SCBA. Proceed together and leave the contaminated area.
