CleanAIR® – powered air purifying respirators
CleanAIR® is a system of personal respiratory protection based on the principle of overpressure of filtered air in
the breathing zone.
The respirator is placed on the wearer's belt and filtrates the air which is taken in from the surrounding
environment and then delivers it through a breathing tube into a protective mask or hood. The overpressure
prevents contaminants from entering the breathing zone. This mild overpressure at the same time ensures the
wearer's comfort, even with long-term use, as the wearer does not have to struggle in their breathing to
overcome the resistance of the filter.
To ensure the required efficiency, an appropriate combination of the right powered air purifying respirator
(hereinafter referred to as the "PAPR unit") and protective hood must be selected. Moreover, filters should be
chosen which are appropriate to the type of contamination.

Approval, certification
The AerGO® respiratory system is approved in compliance with the requirements of the European standard EN
12941 Class TH2 / TH3. All the components of the system must be approved by the manufacturer and used in
compliance with the instructions provided in this manual. Not following these instructions could be dangerous to
the user's health or life.
The AerGO® respiratory system complies with the requirements of the European standard EN 12941.
It provides protection against both non-toxic and toxic particles retainable by a filter of P R SL quality.

Instructions for use
Please carefully read and follow the instructions in this user manual. The user must be perfectly familiar with the
correct way of using this protective device before beginning.
The AerGO® respiratory system must not be used if the unit is switched off! In this case the respiratory
system, incorporating a hood, gives little or no respiratory protection. Also there is a risk of a high
concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) building up and of oxygen deficiency occurring inside the headpiece.
The AerGO® respiratory system must not be used if the respirator does not supply a sufficient amount of air.
(The user is warned of low air flow by the unit's warning system.)
The AerGO® respiratory system must not be used in environments immediately dangerous to life or health
(IDLH)!
The AerGO® respiratory system must not be used in environments with a concentration of oxygen lower than
17%.
The AerGO® respiratory system must not be used in environments in which the user does not know the type
of contamination or its concentration.
The AerGO® respiratory system must not be used in environments with a danger of explosion or fire hazard.
The AerGO® respiratory system must not be used in confined spaces such as closed tanks, tunnels, or
channels.
Each time, before using the respiratory system, check that the air flow is within the standard range.
If, during use, the PAPR unit stops working for any reason, the user must leave the contaminated area
immediately.
