Page 7: Description
Description Description The PremAire Escape is a positive pressure self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus (SCBA) for escape. The device consists of either a full face mask or a mask-hood, both connected to a lung-governed demand valve (LGDV). The LGDV is connected to a compressed air cylinder via a medium pres- sure hose and the combination valve autostart (CVA). - Page 8 Description ® PremAire Escape Fig. 1 Overview (not true to scale) PremAire Escape...
