Maximum 9 bar (Airflow rate inside the hood at 9 bar, 363 litres per minute) Minimum 2 bar (Airflow rate inside the hood at 2 bar, 198 litres per minute) This must be checked prior to each use. Respirex have supplied an airflow meter to provide a visual check for correct airflow (see below). -

Figure 4 Note: If the ActiveAir Autoflow suit is connected to a mobile compressed air supply system operated by an assistant, care must be taken that when wearing ear defenders the audibility of the Autoflow Regulator warning device may be reduced. -
Page 11: Decontamination For Removal Of Hood
Figure 10 Decontamination for Removal of Hood Because the ActiveAir Autoflow Hood is designed primarily as a SINGLE USE garment, the end-user will be the sole judge for how long it can be worn on a specific task. Preliminary washing by means of a high pressure shower will remove most of the contaminant from the outer surfaces of the hood sufficient to allow the wearer to undress from the garment. -
Page 12: Undressing Procedure
Undressing Procedure It is essential that the hood is decontaminated sufficiently to safely remove it from the wearer. It may be necessary for a dressing assistant to aid the wearer to remove the hood (it is essential that the dressing assistant wears suitable protective clothing). -
