Semmco Marine 15 EEBD
Emergency escape oxygen
breathing device to protect from:
• Smoke
• Toxic contamination
• Oxygen deciency

The Marine 15 EEBD is a self-contained, short duration,
chemical oxygen (O2) breathing apparatus. It provides a
supply of fresh oxygen so that the wearer can breathe freely
in a contaminated or oxygen decient environment, ensuring
a quick and safe escape.
The Marine 15 EEBD provides a:
• 15 minutes duration for escape
• 60 minutes duration at rest
And is contained in an orange, rigid case, that is discarded
once it is in use.
How the Marine 15 EEBD works
The Marine 15 EEBD uses KO2(potassium superoxide) to
provide oxygen to the user. As the EEBD is pulled from its
carry case, a chlorate candle provides oxygen for the user’s
rst breath. As the user exhales into the bag, moisture from
their exhaled breath activates the KO2that then ‘scrubs’ the
CO2and liberates oxygen. Oxygen continues to be generated
while the EEBD is being used and will last for 15 minutes if
escaping and 60 minutes if at rest.
Main features and benets
• Automatic start – instant O2supply once the EEBD
is removed from the carry case

Technical Data
Storage:
The Marine 15 EEBD can be stored for up to 15 years but
during its life, visual checks must be carried out on a regular
basis to ensure that:
• The case is not damaged
• The anti-tamper label and seal are still intact

• The visual indicator is blue and not pink
If these conditions are not met the unit mustn’t be used and
must be replaced with a new unit.

Expert manufacturers of short duration
breathing apparatus - specialists in escape
and working rescue
Semmco Life Protection Systems specialises in the design and
manufacture of escape and working rescue breathing devices
to protect those working in irrespirable atmospheres. In such
critical situations, escape and working rescue breathing devices
must be easy to don, simple to use and totally reliable.
HEAD Escape and Working/Rescue Devices
In April 2000, Semmco LPS launched the 10 minute HEAD
Escape Device. This revolutionary, head-worn design provides
a safe and constant supply of oxygen for the wearer so that
they can escape from a contaminated or toxic atmosphere.
The Device incorporates a unique alarm system so that the
wearer knows the exact remaining duration of the device
to enable them to complete a safe escape.
(N.B. the alarm sounds at 2/3the duration, indicating the
wearer has 1/3duration remaining).
So popular is this Device that 15 and 30 minute sets were
developed and in 2009, Semmco LPS launched its HEAD
CSRE Working/Rescue Device, specically developed for use
by correctional ofcers working in prisons and custody suits.
This Device is now installed in every Government and private
prison in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The HEAD range is maintenance free for 12 years, with
revalidation at 6 and 9 years providing considerable through-
life cost savings.
Semmco EEBD
The latest addition to the escape and working rescue devices
range, the Semmco EEBD is a self-contained, single use, short
duration oxygen (O2) breathing device specically for use
in the Maritime & Offshore, Industrial, Military and Mining
markets. It is available in the following congurations:
• Marine - 15 minute set
• Industrial - 20 minute set
Unlike the HEAD Devices, it is simpler in design with a
mouth-piece, nose clip and face shield and can be stored
for up to 15 years. During that time regular visual checks
ensure its viability.
