S - SPECIAL OR CRITICAL USER INSTRUCTIONS
1. NIOSH allows this respirator to be used for protection against a mixture of contaminants that
are present simultaneously or used alternately against one contaminant then another (using
the same cartridges or filters) if the mixture meets the following conditions:
a. The cartridge/filter must be approved for all contaminants present.
b. Contaminants present simultaneously must be below IDLH levels for the specific
contaminants. If any one contaminant in the mixture exceeds the IDLH concentration, then
the entire mixture must be treated as IDLH and the respirator cannot be used (except for
escape from particulates with appropriate filter).
2. Special Instructions for Mersorb-P100/Mersorb Cartridges:
a. Mersorb-P100/Mersorb
that are both present simultaneously, but cannot be used if alternating between mercury-
