Observe during use

CAUTION
!
A heat build-up in the chemical protective suit can
result in circulatory collapse; for this reason, wear a
cooling vest underneath or use a suitable ventilation
system, as appropriate.
Never start a mission alone!

Observe the operating time, limitations and specific

national regulations. The maximum operating time may
also depend on the used respiratory protective device and
the operating conditions.
If no compressed air hoses are connected in protective

suits with ventilation units, close the ports with a protective
cap to avoid contamination.
If you are working with refrigerated media, use the relevant

overgloves (e. g.Cryo-Industrial Gloves from Tempshield,
Inc.) and underclothing.
If sight is obstructed by fogging or icing on the inside of the

visor: pull one hand out of the sleeve and wipe the visor,
e.g., with a cleaning cloth. The cleaning cloth can be stored
in the inside pocket.
Leave the contaminated area immediately in a case of

4.5.1

Precleaning of the chemical protective suit

WARNING
!
Risk of contamination!
Never touch contaminated parts unless wearing
protective clothing. Avoid contaminating the clean
interior of the suit.
Failure to meet the required safety precautions may
result in death or serious injury.
1. Leave the contaminated area and have the chemical
protective suit precleaned by an assistant. The assistant
must also wear protective clothing and breathing apparatus
where necessary.
For precleaning, Dräger recommends using plenty of water
to which a detergent has been added. This will be sufficient
to wash away most chemicals (acids, alkalis, organic and
inorganic substances).
CAUTION
!
If precleaning is not possible on site, remove and close
the suit immediately to prevent chemicals from
entering the suit.
2. Clean the chemical protective suit thoroughly for a
sufficient time. Avoid spreading chemicals.
3. In the event of contamination with hazardous substances,
dispose of the waste water in line with the relevant waste
waster disposal regulations.
4. If necessary, carry out decontamination in several steps.
