System Description

The 3M™ Versaflo™ M-Series Headgear is a family of respirators designed to help meet the changing
needs of users through a modular design and convertibility of major components. The M-100, M-200
and M-300 Series loose fitting facepieces and the M-400 Series Helmets are designed to be used with
certain 3M™ Breathing Tubes and Powered Air Purifying (PAPR) or Supplied Air (SA) units to form a
respiratory system. In addition, all 3M™ M-Series Headgear meet the test requirements of certain eye
and face protection standards, and the M-300 and M-400 Series Headgear meet test requirements
of certain industrial head protection standards. See "Approvals" section of these User Instructions for
additional information.
The M-100 Series Respiratory Faceshields have a wide-view flip-up visor, fully adjustable ratchet
suspension, and a fabric faceseal. An integral air deflector allows the user to position the airflow for
wearing comfort. When used with the optional M-170 Faceshield Inserts, the M-100 Series Headgear
offers lightweight head coverage from dirt, debris, and overspray as well as minimal head protection from
contact with stationary objects (i.e. "bump" protection).
The M-200 Series Respiratory Faceshields have similar features to the M-100 Respiratory Faceshields,
including a liftable wide-view visor assembly and an integral air deflector to direct the airflow inside the
headgear. Unlike the M-100 Series Headgear, the M-200 Series Headgear comes with a solid headgear
shell to provide lightweight head coverage from dirt, debris, and overspray as well as minimal head
protection from contact with stationary objects (i.e. "bump" protection).
The M-300 Series Respiratory Hardhats have similar features to the M-100 and M-200 Respiratory
Faceshields, including a liftable wide-view visor assembly and an integral air deflector to direct the
airflow inside the headgear. Unlike the M-100 Series Headgear, the M-300 Series Headgear comes
with a solid headgear shell, and unlike the M-100 or M-200 it has been tested to certain industrial head
protection standards.
The M-400 Series Helmets are designed to offer the highest level of respiratory protection of the M-Series
range. This "jawed" product provides coverage for the neck and shoulders through a versatile two piece
inner and outer neck shroud design. The M-400 Series Headgear uses the same fully adjustable head
suspension and headgear shell as the M-300 Series Headgear.
Optional accessories and a variety of faceseal, shroud, and visor materials are available for the M-Series
Headgear, giving the user a choice of configurations for specific applications.
Properly selected, used, and maintained respirators help protect against certain airborne contaminants
by reducing airborne concentrations in the wearer's breathing zone below the Occupational Exposure
Limit (OEL). It is essential to follow all instructions and government regulations on the use of this
product, which includes wearing the complete respirator system during all times of exposure, in order
for the product to help protect the wearer. Misuse of respirators may result in overexposure to
contaminants and lead to sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor, refer to the product
User Instructions or contact 3M Technical Service.
