Cleaning and Disinfecting

WARNING!
• Do NOT use cleaning substances that can or might attack any part of the device.
• Do NOT use alcohol, which can cause deterioration of rubber parts.
• Do NOT touch or inhale contaminants.
• Make sure to rinse components thoroughly. The residue from cleaning agents can cause skin irritation.
• Make sure that there is no water, moisture, or dampness on or in the device components before returning the device to
service. Any moisture on or in the device components can freeze and result in a malfunction of the device.
• Failure to clean and decontaminate the respirator correctly after each use can cause overexposure to contamination and
result in illness, disease, or death.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
Make sure that a designated person or the user cleans the device after each use. ANSI standards recommend that users be
trained in the cleaning procedure.
MSA recommends the use of Confidence Plus Germicidal Cleaner (PN 10009971), which cleans and disinfects components in
one operation; retains its germicidal efficiency in hard water to inhibit the growth of bacteria; and will not deteriorate rubber,
plastic, glass, or metal parts. Refer to the label to prepare the Confidence Plus Germicidal Cleaner.
If the device has heavy smoke residue or dirt accumulation, use a damp sponge with a mild soap solution or a soft/medium
bristle brush to remove deposits that may interfere with normal operation of the harness (straps and buckles) or APR adapter.
