1.2 S- Special or Critical User’s Instructions
WARNING
Special or Critical User’s Instructions
● NIOSH approved HE lters can be used for protection against particulate aerosols containing oil. However,
Bio-Medical Devices Intl does not recommend use of MAXAIR Systems in oily atmospheres unless
specically indicated on the product.
● Do not use near ame or other heat source.
● The use of MAXAIR Systems in an alarm condition is only for immediate exit to a safe environment.
● During high energy work (exertion) rates, it is possible to over-breathe the MAXAIR System and create a
negative pressure situation.
● If air ow is cut off, immediately hold your breath and immediately exit to clean air.
● In the power-off state, little or no respiratory protection is to be expected. Attempted use in this manner is an
abnormal situation.
● In the powered-off state, rapid buildup of carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen within the DLC system may
occur.
● Non-Filtering areas of the Body Coverings for the 2270-04 and 2270-06 Hoods are tested per ASTM F1671
by an accredited third party laboratory demonstrating compliance to the ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level 4 standard
or testing criteria as applicable. NIOSH does not conduct this testing as part of their approval.
CAUTION
• When subjected to harsh use in critical environments (e.g. holding and dropping a battery by the power
cord) the helmet-battery power cord will wear at a much faster rate than normal. In these types of
circumstances, the power cord should be examined prior to each use, and it is recommended to be changed
out every 30 days, or sooner if it becomes damaged or degraded.
• Do not operate in environments with temperatures exceeding 54°C
• A suitable environment is when an employee can work a full shift comfortably without any special paraphernalia
other than normal clothing.
• Replace damaged or worn Filters immediately.
• Always start with a fully charged battery.
• Charge Li-Ion Battery in a MAXAIR Lithium-Ion battery charger only.
• The Helmet Power Cord should not be removed from its connection to the Helmet unless the Power Cord
needs replacement.
• Do not immerse system components in liquid.
• Never use compressed air to clean any part of the MAXAIR System.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Helmet and Li-Ion Battery. Do not attempt to dis-assemble,
open or service the Helmet and Li-Ion Battery. Call Customer Service,
1-800-443-3842, for assistance.
