SALUS HC User Instructions
Limitations of Use and Warnings
Failure to follow these warnings AND INSTRUCTIONS could result in death or
serious injury.
Use strictly in accordance with instructions, labels and limitations pertaining to the
EVA/EVAHL/SALUS HC-series respirators.
1. This respirator does not supply oxygen. Use only in adequately ventilated areas
containing at least 19.5% oxygen.
2. Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are immediately dangerous to
life or health (IDLH), i.e. – one for which the wearer cannot escape without the
aid of a respirator without suffering injury either immediate or long term. See
29CFR 1910.134 (b).
3. Do not use this respirator for respiratory protection during abrasive blasting or
clean up.
4. Do not use in circumstances where the airborne concentration level of
contaminant exceeds maximum use concentration for this type of respirator as
established by regulatory standards.
5. Leave area immediately if:
a. Breathing becomes difficult
b. Dizziness or other distress occurs
c. You taste or smell the contaminant
d. Unit becomes damaged
e. Battery alarm activates
f. Low Flow alarm activates
6. This apparatus must not be worn with the blower unit switched off. If the blower is
switched off, a rapid build-up of carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen may
occur, which could result in death or serious injury.
7. Never alter or modify this respirator. Use only Bullard manufactured components
and replacement parts for use with this respirator. Failure to use Bullard
manufactured components and replacement parts, as listed on the NIOSH
approval label, voids NIOSH approval of the entire respirator, and invalidates all
Bullard warranties.
8. This device is not immune to highly powered RFI/EMI emissions.
9. Use strictly in accordance with instructions, labels and limitations pertaining to
this respirator
In addition to the above stated warning and instructions, the SALUS HC respirator is
intended to be used only in a pharmaceutical, hospital and/or medical setting.

Approvals and Certifications
The SALUS™ HC Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system, manufactured by
Bullard, meets the NIOSH PAPR100-P standard
Bullard is certified to ISO 9001:2015
What is a PAPR
A PAPR or powered air-purifying respirator protects the user by filtering out
contaminants in the air. The system uses a blower to force the ambient air through an
air-purifying element to the hood and the breathing zone of the wearer. This process
creates an airflow inside the hood, providing a higher assigned protection factor (APF)
than the reusable elastomeric non-powered air-purifying half facepiece (half mask) or
N95 FFRs. A PAPR can be used for protection during healthcare procedures in which
HCP are exposed to greater risks of aerosolized pathogens causing acute respiratory
infections.

PAPRFC6 FIL T ER
THIS FILTER IS APPROVED ONLY IN THE FOLLOWING CON FIGURA TIONS:

Pre-Inspection
Closely inspect the entire PAPR (Powered Air-Purifying Respirator) system paying
attention to component connection points for wear and damage. If parts are missing or
damaged, replace them with only SALUS HC replacement parts before proceeding.
• Inspect the filter for physical damage and check the label to ensure the filter has
not exceeded its “use-by” date.
• Inspect the batty for any physical damage and check the fuel gauge to determine
sufficient chare is available.
• Inspect the loose-fitting facepiece for any physical damage.
• Examine the breathing tube for tears, holes, or cracks. The breathing tube should
fit securely into the blower unit connection and the loose-fitting facepiece.
• SALUS HC is pre-calibrated to ensure required airflow. With the system
completely assembled, the blower unit automatically checks upon start up that
the system is delivering adequate airflow.
Checking for adequate airflow
With the blower motor OFF, press and told the power button for ten (10) seconds until
there is an audible sound. This audible sound indicates that there is adequate airflow to
create a positive pressure inside the hood.
Setup and Getting Started
Initial unboxing
SALUS HC will ship in an outer pack box and packaged up to three (3) units per box.
The inner box is intended to keep your SALUS HC free from damage, clean and
organized for long term storage. The unit will arrive partially assembled only requiring
the user to install the HEPA filter, battery and attach the breathing tube and hood.
The Quick Start Guide that comes with SALUS should remain with the user or in an
area accessible by the user(s). The Quick Start Guide provides two (2) useful QR codes
and web address to enhance your experience.
• SALUS HC online User Instructions provides an online and printable reference to
detailed information about your PAPR. www.bullard.com/SALUS/usermanual
• SALUS HC onboarding give you the opportunity to sign up for product training,
virtually or in person, register your product, and get to know Bullard.

Donning and Doffing
Prepare to don the PAPR system in a safe, hazard-free area. Prior to entering a
contaminated area and donning, complete the Pre-Inspection process.
Donning
Warning: Turn blower motor ON before donning the hood

1. With SALUS HC completely assembled, place the PAPR onto your shoulders.
2. Turn the blower unit on. See Operating Setting for details.
3. Don the hood starting with your chin and pulling over your head. Make any final
adjustments to the fit as required to ensure a comfortable and stable fit.
4. Connect the buckles on the body straps.

5. Adjust body straps to ensure a comfortable and stable fit.
6. Excess body strap material can be cut for a more customized fit.
Note: See Selecting Hood Size for more guidance in selecting an appropriate hood size
7. Donning complete
Note: SALUS can be worn under isolation gowns with special consideration. The blower
motor must not be covered by the isolation gown to allow the respirator to actively draw
air through the filter and into the hood or breathing zone. Air flow may be reduced and
trigger the low airflow alarm if the isolation gown is covering the air inlet or filter of the
respirator.
