ABOUT THIS GUIDE

The National Institute of Justice is the focal point for providing support to State and local law enforcement agencies in the development of counterterrorism technology and standards, including technology needs for chemical and biological defense. In recognizing the needs of

State and local emergency first responders, the Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), supported by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the Technical Support Working Group (TSWG), the U.S. Army Soldier and

Biological Chemical Command, and the Interagency Board for Equipment Standardization and

Interoperability (IAB), is developing chemical and biological defense equipment guides. The guides will focus on chemical and biological equipment in areas of detection, personal protection, decontamination, and communication. This document focuses specifically on assisting the emergency first responder community in the evaluation and purchase of personal protective equipment.

The long range plans are to: (1) subject existing personal protective equipment to laboratory testing and evaluation against a specified protocol, and (2) conduct research leading to the development of multiple series of documents, including national standards, user guides, and technical reports. It is anticipated that the testing, evaluation, and research processes will take several years to complete; therefore, the National Institute of Justice has developed this initial guide for the emergency first responder community in order to facilitate their evaluation and purchase of personal protective equipment.

In conjunction with this program, additional guides, as well as other documents, are being issued in the areas of chemical agent and toxic industrial material detection equipment, biological agent detection equipment, decontamination equipment, and communication equipment.

This Volume, IIa, of the Guide for the Selection of Personal Protective Equipment for

Emergency First Responders, which focuses particularly on respiratory protection. It contains the information data sheets that were used to support the personal protective equipment evaluation detailed in Volume I. The compilation of data in Volume IIa is the result of the merger of several data acquisition methods used independently by NIST and TSWG.

The information contained in this guide has been obtained through literature searches and market surveys. The vendors were contacted multiple times during the preparation of this guide to ensure data accuracy. In addition, the information is supplemented with test data obtained from other sources (e.g., Department of Defense), if available. It should also be noted that the purpose of this guide is not to provide recommendations but rather to serve as a means to provide information to the reader to compare and contrast commercially available personal protective equipment. Reference herein to any specific commercial products, processes, or services by

trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise does not necessarily constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by the United States Government. The information and statements contained in this guide shall not be used for the purposes of advertising, nor to imply the endorsement or recommendation of the United States Government.

GUIDE FOR THE SELECTION OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE

EQUIPMENT FOR EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONDERS

(RESPIRATORY PROTECTION)

This guide includes information intended to be useful to the emergency first responder community in the selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) that includes chemical and biological protective clothing and respiratory equipment for different applications. This Volume,

IIa, of the Guide for the Selection of Personal Protective Equipment for Emergency First

Responders, includes details on the 69 respiratory protective items referenced in Volume I.

1. INTRODUCTION

The Guide for the Selection of Personal Protective Equipment for Emergency First Responders includes information intended to be useful to the emergency first responder community in the selection of PPE. Due to the large number of personal protective equipment items identified for the guide, the guide is separated into four volumes. Volume I serves as the selection tool for all

PPE items while Volume IIa serves as a repository for the respiratory PPE data sheets; Volume

IIb serves as a repository for the percutaneous (garments) PPE data sheets; and Volume IIc serves as a repository for the percutaneous (apparel other than garments) PPE data sheets.

2. IDENTIFICATION OF PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT

An extensive market survey was conducted to identify commercially available personal protective equipment. This market survey encompassed the assessment of past market surveys, identification of new equipment, and interaction with numerous equipment vendors.

2.1 Identification of New Equipment

A variety of sources were utilized to identify commercially available personal protective equipment, including a Commerce Business Daily (CBD) Announcement, literature searches, database searches, Internet searches, technical conferences, and technical contacts. These sources resulted in the identification of 69 respiratory protective equipment items.

2.2 Vendor Contact

Vendors were contacted two separate times in order to obtain additional product information, as well as to finalize their specific equipment data for inclusion in the guide. An initial contact occurred in the Fall of 1999, at the Ninth International Society for Respiratory Protection (ISRP)

Conference held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the manufacturers and vendors supplied detailed information about their products.

The second contact was made during March 2001. Each vendor again received a facsimile or an electronic mail message that contained the data sheets for their specific equipment item(s), the selection factors that were developed to assist with the selection and purchase of the most appropriate equipment, and the results of the evaluation of the respiratory protective equipment against the selection factors. The vendors were asked to review the data sheets and tables for completeness and accuracy of the incorporated data.

In the Avon respirators, the unique folded acoustic horn-shaped primary speech module (PSM) houses the normal exhalation valve within a cone. The outer edge of the cone forms a seat for a second spring-loaded exhalation valve, giving a positively biased exhalation pressure. The front cover of the PSM, suitably modified, provides a simple means of holding the positive pressure exhalation valve in place.

The BioPak 240 is widely used by the U. S. Government and Military.

The BioPak was designed for mine rescue applications in the late 1980s.

From its introduction, it has been tested and used in many military and government applications. The following is a partial list of users and applications of the BioPak:

1) Self-Contained Toxic Protection Outfit (STEPO) The BioPak was tested for this program in 1988. The total number of systems to be produced for the STEPO program is 1,350. Their primary user is

Army EOD for disposal of Toxic Agents in fifty-three sites throughout the United States and Europe.

2) The On Site Inspection Agency (OSIA) uses systems for inspection during verification of missile treaties in the former Soviet Union.

3) Washington, DC Capitol Police Bomb Squad. Their systems are for protection of the Capitol and associated facilities.

4) Philadelphia City Bomb Squad. Their systems are used in conjunction with the operation of the city’s Bomb Squad.

5) Domestic Preparedness/Weapons of Mass Destruction Program:

Atlanta, GA; Arlington, VA; San Antonio, TX; Dallas and Ft. Worth,

TX; and Jersey City, NJ has purchased and been trained on the

BioPak.

6) Duquesne Light Nuclear Power Plant has over 100 systems used in their facility. Their containment building is sub-atmospheric emergency fire fighting, and requires SCBA. The BioPak 240 gives them the long duration required to perform maintenance work. They are approved to use their units for emergency firefighting.

7) Japanese National Police Authority. We modified our standard

BioPak 60 to meet their needs in responding to chemical agent events, such as Sarin Gas attacks in subways. After gaining acceptance of our changes to the BioPak 60, we made it our standard unit. The

SCBA; the Viking Digital provides maximum respiratory protection in

IDLH atmospheres. It was designed with firefighters in mind, however it has applications in police and HAZMAT instances. It can be ordered with a 30 min, 45 min, or 60 min cylinder. This SCBA has many unique features including an in-mask light display providing the following information: cylinder pressure status, acknowledgement of radio transmission, and activation of the “end of service alarm.” For police applications, the lights inside the inner nosecup make the Viking Digital very stealth. Radio interface with an in-mask microphone and a silent, low pressure lighted alarm that only the user can observe, provides the needed information without any noise. Sanitizing the facemask is simple because it is fully submersible for cleaning. The waterproof microphone attached inside the facemask reduces external noise while transmitting with the option for hands free radio transmission.

Spiroscape is the first emergency breathing apparatus to overcome the practical limitations of demand (unpredictable duration) and constant flow

(CO

2

build up or heavy cylinder weight) type systems. Unique spiroscape air delivery system features an inner mask with exhalation valve and air supply tube. This allows CO

2

to be expelled from the hood optimizing the use of fresh air from the cylinder without the need for a demand valve.

This unique constant flow system assures a predictable duration for air delivery. Patented auto hatch/safety valve automatically opens if air supply is exhausted to prevent employee suffocation. Can be used as standby fresh air hatch in staging areas. The auto hatch/safety valve also eliminates the need for a separate low air alarm system.

Litton Life Support originally designed the LITPAC II to meet an Air

Force requirement for a complete chemical and biological protection ensemble suitable for fire fighting. The original requirement was for

10000 SCBA with special design requirements for duration, profile, weight and breathing performance. Ten prototypes were built and sold to the Air

Force for operational testing and evaluation. After assessing the results of the Air Force and in-house testing, many ergonomic improvements were incorporated into the unit. DOD funding for the LITPAC was canceled, but Litton Life Support decided to complete the development of the

LITPAC II and to address the needs of this identified niche market.

Utilizing the same full facemask, waist-mounted hose coupling and 9 m hose, as the unpowered system, the Mini Turbine powered system has a twin hose for fitting on the facemask incorporating an overflow valve to allow excessive air to escape. The intake strainer at the end of the unpowered hose is removed and attached to the powered Mini Turbine and is then connected to an electrical supply. Alternative powered hoses are available from 10 m to 40 m in length. The Mini Turbine, which can be placed up to 40 m from the contaminated area, draws air from the immediate vicinity through a coarse, washable sponge filter and delivers air through a hose to one or two users.

No power requirements for mask alone. ESP voice projection unit is available (requires a 9 V battery to operate).

40 % lighter than conventional full-face respirators. Mask is constructed of semi-permeable materials (a natural/nitrile blend of rubber and a polyurethane lens). Not recommended for exposure to flames or high heat.

The Advantage 1000 Respirator is constructed of super-soft Hycar rubber that provides the feel and comfort of silicone but with better permeation resistance. For exceptional fit, the facepiece is available in three sizes and has a unique in-turned lip seal that provides the best possible seal against a wide range of facial contours. The Advantage 1000 facepiece also features a distinctive, flexible urethane lens that is integrally bonded to the facepiece, eliminating the need for rigid lens retainers that cause unwanted pressure points.

The lens is chemically bonded to the mask. Flexible, one-piece polyurethane lens with wide field of vision is bonded to durable Hycar rubber facepiece.

Lens is clear, and the mask is black.

Fully elastic, six-point head harness promotes easy on-off, easy adjustment, no hair pulling. Dual-canister mount allows weapon sighting from either shoulder. Standard nosecup helps eliminate lens fogging.

The unit filters particulates and provides respirable air directly to the

Ultravue or Ultra Elite Facepiece. Since it does not have a breathing tube, the unit is more compact than other PAPRs, enhancing user maneuverability and simplifying decontamination. OptimAir* MM 2K

PAPR with Type HE OptiFilter* XL Cartridge is smaller, lighter, and less expensive, thanks largely to a new NiMH battery pack and dual-rate smart charger. The low-profile NiMH (nickel metal hydride) battery pack is lightweight (12.5 oz.), fits close to the body, and is small enough to fit in most pockets. The battery provides 8 h of continuous use, lasting a full work shift. Another benefit is that NiMH batteries do not have a “memory effect” like NiCad batteries. The sealed, water-resistant battery pack is designed for easy shower decontamination. The dual-rate smart charger is a standard accessory with this unit. The charger can recharge a battery in less than 3 h. An LED indicates battery condition: fast charge, fully charged, or battery fault. The lightweight, compact design of the OptimAir

MM 2K PAPR is well suited for abatement, nuclear, and other industries with hazardous particulate environments. The water-resistant filter has an optional prefilter and cover. Complete units include motor/blower, NiMH battery, dual-rate charger, one Type HE OptiFilter XL Cartridge, urethanecoated nylon web belt, and choice of Ultravue or Ultra Elite Facepiece.

The “2K PAPR” is a direct replacement for the OptimAir MM PAPR.

MMR Xtreme Air Masks are pressure-demand apparatus, designed to maintain a slight positive air pressure inside the facepiece during inhalation and exhalation. This helps prevent contaminants from seeping in around the facepiece, even if there are small breaks in the face-tofacepiece seal. Sleek, rugged and lightweight, the MMR Xtreme Air Mask is the future of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Comfortable, wide-vision Ultra Elite facepiece and clean, low profile mask-mounted regulator with large shutoff button. High-strength yet lightweight cylinder options and advanced Black Rhino or Vulcan carrier/harness assembly.

MMR Xtreme Air Masks are the superior options available on the Ultralite and Custom 4500 MMR Air Masks.

Several models available. All have medium black hycal ultra elite facepiece, 30 min rated stealth cylinder, vulcan carrier with lumbar pad and chest strap, and without case.

ABOUT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CORRECTIONS

STANDARDS AND TESTING PROGRAM

The Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program is sponsored by the Office of

Science and Technology of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), U.S. Department of Justice. The program responds to the mandate of the Justice System Improvement Act of 1979, directed NIJ to encourage research and development to improve the criminal justice system and to disseminate the results to Federal,

State, and local agencies.

The Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program is an applied research effort that determines the technological needs of justice system agencies, sets minimum performance standards for specific devices, tests commercially available equipment against those standards, and disseminates the standards and the test results to criminal justice agencies nationally and internationally.

The program operates through:

The Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Advisory Council (LECTAC), consisting of nationally recognized criminal justice practitioners from Federal, State, and local agencies, which assesses technological needs and sets priorities for research programs and items to be evaluated and tested.

The Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which develops voluntary national performance standards for compliance testing to ensure that individual items of equipment are suitable for use by criminal justice agencies. The standards are based upon laboratory testing and evaluation of representative samples of each item of equipment to determine the key attributes, develop test methods, and establish minimum performance requirements for each essential attribute. In addition to the highly technical standards, OLES also produces technical reports and user guidelines that explain in nontechnical terms the capabilities of available equipment.

The National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC), operated by a grantee, which supervises a national compliance testing program conducted by independent laboratories. The standards developed by OLES serve as performance benchmarks against which commercial equipment is measured. The facilities, personnel, and testing capabilities of the independent laboratories are evaluated by

OLES prior to testing each item of equipment, and OLES helps the NLECTC staff review and analyze data.

Test results are published in Equipment Performance Reports designed to help justice system procurement officials make informed purchasing decisions.

Publications are available at no charge through the National Law Enforcement and Corrections

Technology Center. Some documents are also available online through the Internet/World Wide Web. To request a document or additional information, call 800–248–2742 or 301–519–5060, or write:
