Correct Use The 3S-R AirElite, Advantage AirElite and Advantage 4000 AirElite full face masks act as a face piece (EN 136 CL3) for the MSA AirElite respiratory protection device. They are not themselves complete respiratory protection devices but rather the parts for connecting the device to the user's respiratory tracts.
DESCRIPTION Description The inhalation air flows from the full face mask connection piece directly to the nose cup of the mask. The exhalation air follows the same route however in the opposite direction. This does not flush the eye area. Any misting of the lens is remedied by using the lens wiper.

The Advantage masks must always be transported in a mask container. Before using, soak the lens wiper cover of all masks with some drops of the MSA anti-misting agent to avoid scratching the lens. 3.1. Putting on the Mask Attention! The top of the mask seal must lie directly on the user's forehead.
