    • A single use, semi-rigid chemical protective visor, internal breathing hose and the barrier laminate fabric. • A reusable ActiveAir Autoflow Regulator, attached to the hip of the wearer, for connection to the Compressed Air Supply Tube (CAST) and the internal breathing hose in the Hood.
  • Page 4 Respirex assumes no responsibility for improper use of the ActiveAir Autoflow Hood. • If the hood is to be used in low temperatures and misting of the visor occurs, apply Respirex FOG OFF to the inner and outer surfaces of the visor.
  • Page 5: Storage

    In order to maintain the level of protection offered, care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage occurring to the ActiveAir Autoflow Hoods during transportation between work areas. It is recommended that all ActiveAir Autoflow suits are transported in a suitably sized rigid container resistant to penetration by sharp objects, abrasive surfaces, chemicals, oils, solvents etc.

    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).
