Sperian 1688 User manual

WARNING-Continued
Do not use the gas mask at ambient temperatures
above 130ºF (55ºC).
• The gas mask facepiece assembly contains natural
rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions in
some individuals. Discontinue use if you experience an
allergic reaction.
• Discontinue use if you experience skin irritation or
discoloration.
• Do not use this canister or your gas mask if it has
been left exposed in a contaminated environment. Con-
taminants can collect on the inside of the facepiece and
be inhaled when the gas mask is donned.
• For use by trained, qualied personnel only.
• The gas mask may provide less than adequate protec-
tion if improperly used, resulting in serious personal
injury, serious illness, or death.
I. CANISTER INSTALLATION
Do not remove the canister from its packaging until it is to be
used. The canister can be either installed front-mounted in the
nozzle or side-mounted on either side of the lens.
Side-Mount/Front-Mount Installation
1. Verify that the canister is within its service life by inspecting
the expiration date on the right side of the canister label.
2. If installed, remove the plug from the front of the nozzle or
the side canister connector. Use a quarter or similar item to
unscrew the plug. Do not use a screwdriver as it may damage
the plug.
3. Remove the canister from its protective poly/foil bag. Re-
move the plug from the top of the canister and the cap from
the threaded end. Discard the cap, plug, and poly/foil bag.
4. Thread the canister into the nozzle or canister connector
and hand-tighten. Do not overtighten.
5. If not installed, thread a plug into the two unused connec-
tors. Hand-tighten with a quarter or similar item. Do not over-
tighten.
II. CANISTER SERVICE LIFE
WARNING
• OSHA allows the use of respirators for protection
against contaminants with poor warning properties.
You must replace the canister in accordance with an
OSHA compliant canister change-out schedule that is
based on objective information or data that ensures the
canister is changed before the end of its service life.

Canister
User Instructions
The Model 1688 canister is NIOSH approved for use only with
SPERIAN Model 7530/7630/7730/7590/7690/7790 Opti-Fit
Gas Mask, and provides protection against chloroacetophe-
none (CN), o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS), and P100
particulates. You must read and understand these user
instructions and the user instructions provided with the
gas mask facepiece assembly before using.
WARNING
• A gas mask will reduce, but will not eliminate the inha-
lation of contaminants and microorganisms.
• Before using your gas mask, you must read and un-
derstand these warnings, limitations, and instructions,
and the user instructions provided with the gas mask
facepiece assembly. The gas mask must be worn and
used as specied in the user instructions. No gas mask
can provide complete protection from all conditions.
• The gas mask must be used for protection against
only those contaminants listed on the canister and/or
the NIOSH approval label. Be certain that the canister
will provide the required protection.
• Gas masks do not provide oxygen. Do not use in at-
mospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen by vol-
ume.
• Do not use a gas mask in environments where the
concentration of contaminants is unknown or are im-
mediately dangerous to life or health.
• The gas mask shall not be used underwater, for fumi-
gation, interior structural re ghting, abrasive blast-
ing operations, or in areas where high heat, sparks, or
ames could contact the gas mask.
• The gas mask must be used in conjunction with a
written respirator program meeting the requirements of
the OSHA Standard for Respiratory Protection, 29 CFR
1910.134, available from the U.S. Department of Labor,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
• The gas mask must be properly tted to the individual
to ensure proper protection. Facepiece tting is the us-
er’s responsibility. See the latest issues of ANSI Z88.3
and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
• Beards, stubble, or sideburns will prevent a proper
facepiece-to-face seal, and facial hair may interfere with
valve function. Do not use the gas mask unless you are
clean shaven. Absence of one or both dentures, the
presence of deep facial scars, etc., can seriously affect
the t of the facepiece.
• Immediately return to a non-contaminated area if you
taste or smell contaminants; your eyes, nose, or throat
become irritated; breathing becomes difcult; the air
you are breathing becomes uncomfortably warm; you
feel nauseous or dizzy; you notice a loss or decrease in
airow; or the facepiece moves, slips, or leaks.
• A gas mask does not protect exposed areas of the
body. Some contaminants can be absorbed directly
through the skin while others may burn or irritate ex-
posed areas.
• Do not alter, modify, or misuse this canister or your
gas mask.

WARNING-Continued
• You must immediately leave the contaminated area
if you taste or smell contaminants, or if your eyes or
throat become irritated. Replace the canister before re-
entering the contaminated area.
• You must replace the canister when breathing becomes
uncomfortable or difcult. As particulates collect on the
lter surface, the breathing resistance of the gas mask
increases. If you wait too long to replace the canister,
particulates may leak past the face seal instead of being
collected on the lter; therefore, SPERIAN recommends
that the canister be changed at least daily.
• Establishing the canister service life for mixtures of
contaminants is a complex task and one that requires
considerable professional judgement to create a
reasonable change schedule. OSHA provides a “rule-of-
thumb” method for determining the canister service life
for mixtures. The method addresses two situations. The
rst is where the individual compounds of the mixture
have similar breakthrough times (e.g., within one order
of magnitude). In this case OSHA recommends adding
the concentrations of all the components of the mixture
to determine a “total concentration”, then determine the
mixture service life by applying the total concentration
to the component with the shortest service life. The
second is where the individual compounds have
breakthrough times that vary by 2-orders of magnitude
or greater. In this case, OSHA recommends the mixture
service life be based on the contaminant with the
shortest breakthrough time. The OSHA rule-of-thumb
methods may not be applicable for all mixtures. In
some cases the actual mixture service life may be
much lower than the one calculated. For this reason,
SPERIAN recommends using experimental methods. If
you are unsure how to determine the canister service
life for mixtures please contact SPERIAN.
• Failure to comply with this warning may lead to serious
personal injury, serious illness, or death.
The gas/vapor service life depends on the user’s breathing
rate, the characteristics of the contaminant, and environmen-
tal conditions such as temperature and humidity. A saturated
canister will leak trace amounts of contaminant to the wearer,
which may be detected by odor, taste, and/or irritation. Re-
place the canister in accordance with an OSHA compliant
canister change-out schedule or earlier if you detect the con-
taminant by that the canister service life for mixtures be de-
termined smell, taste, or irritation, or if they show any signs
of damage. The canister should always be replaced in ac-
cordance with schedules established by regulatory agencies,
and disposed of in accordance with Federal, state, and local
guidelines. Always replace the canister with one taken from a
sealed package.
The particulate lter service life depends on the user’s breath-
ing rate, the characteristics of the contaminant, and envi-
ronmental conditions such as humidity. The particulate lter
used in the canister is NIOSH approved for long duration use
against any type of particulate. When used in oil-containing
(e.g., lubricants, cutting uids, glycerin, etc.) or non-oil-con-
taining atmospheres, the canister must be replaced immedi-
ately whenever it is damaged, soiled, soaked with liquids such
as water or alcohol, the canister appears to be suspect in any
manner, or when the user notices an increase in breathing
resistance such that the gas mask becomes uncomfortable
to wear.
If none of the above occurs and there is a respiratory protec-
tion program per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 in place, then the
canister may be used continually, but only for a maximum of
30 days or 40 hours, whichever comes rst. However, the ser-
vice time can be extended if lter performance to 42 CFR Part
84 can be demonstrated. Whether used in oil-containing or
non-oil-containing atmospheres, SPERIAN recommends the
canister be replaced daily because the user may be unable
to detect small defects in the canister lter resulting in a loss
of lter efciency, and the determination of when breathing
resistance becomes too uncomfortable is subjective.
