SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit™ Convertible Facepiece
I. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides instructions for the use and maintenance of the various respirator operating congurations achievable with the SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit™ Convertible full facepiece respirator models 7540, 7640, 7740,
7541, 7641, and 7741. The base conguration of the
SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit facepiece allows use as an air purifying respirator (APR) in conjunction with S Series par-
ticulate lters, gas and vapor cartridges, and cartridge/
lter combinations as required for specic contaminant
protection. Additional components can be attached to
the SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit Convertible to easily convert it
to a front or side hose connection continuous ow supplied air respirator (CF-SAR) and mask or belt mounted
powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) congurations.
Before using a respirator in a contaminated work
place, you must, at a minimum, understand the elements of a respirator program, your work place, and
the contaminants you are trying to protect yourself
against. Determining the applicability of a respirator
is difcult. You must be able to calculate the service
life of the cartridges, determine the type and concentration of contaminants, and determine whether
the contaminants have poor warning properties,
etc. If you do not have a complete understanding
of the use of respirators, you must seek the aid of
a certied industrial hygienist or contact SPERIAN.
You must read and understand this manual and be
trained in the proper use of the respirator before
wearing it in a contaminated atmosphere.
II. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The Warnings, Cautions, and Notes contained in this
instruction sheet have the following signicance
WARNING
Maintenance or operating procedures
and techniques that may result in serious personal injury, serious personal illness, or death if not carefully followed.
CAUTION
Maintenance or operating procedures and
techniques that may result in damage to
equipment and/or minor to moderate personal injury if not carefully followed.
NOTE
Maintenance or operating procedures and
techniques or information considered impor-
tant enough to emphasize.
III. DESCRIPTIONS OF RESPIRATOR OPERATING
CONFIGURATIONS
The SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit full facepiece contains two
connectors on each side of the lens for attaching par-
ticle lters, gas/vapor cartridges or air hoses, as well
as a front adapter for a supplied air breathing hose or
powered air purifying blower. This range of connections
allows the SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit Convertible facepiece
to be congured, through the use of additional components, as a supplied air respirator (CF-SAR) or powered
air purifying respirator (PAPR).
The full facepiece is designed with a wide lip silicone
skirt and ve point head strap harness (models 7540,
7640, and 7740). The facepiece is also available with
a Headnet™ retention system (models 7541, 7641, and
7741). All facepieces contain a lens treated with an
abrasion resistant coating. The facepiece is available
in three sizes, small, medium and large. While a nose
cup is standard, the facepiece may be equipped with an
optional spectacles kit, clear or tinted lens covers and
neck strap kit.
The connection versatility of the SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit™
Convertible full facepiece and available components and
accessories (see Section VI, Parts List) allow it to be as-
sembled into the following operating congurations:
A. Air Purifying Respirator (APR) Conguration
The side port connectors are used to attach S series
particulate lters, gas and vapor cartridges, and cartridge/lter combinations as required for a specic con-
taminant protection. The front adapter can be removed
and replaced with a plug to reduce the front prole of
the mask.
B.Continuous Flow Supplied Air Respirator
(CF-SAR) Conguration
With one side port connector port capped with a supplied screw cap, a high volume, low pressure breathing tube can be attached to the second side connector
to provide a constant ow of air to the facepiece when
connected to an external air source. An alternate connection option uses a breathing tube connected to the
front adapter with both side port connectors capped. An
optional Vortex air cooler may also be connected in-line
to provide cool air to the facepiece.
NOTE
The Vortex air cooler cannot be used in
conjunction with ambient air pump supply
systems.
The SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit™ Convertible can also be con-
gured as a CF-SAR with P100 lter cartridges and the
breathing tube connected to the front adapter. When the
air line hose is disconnected from the air line quick coupler, a check valve in the air line couple assembly prevents leakage of contaminated air through the facepiece
hose, and the wearer’s air is drawn through the P100
lters. This feature allows for safe entry, exit or escape
from a dangerous area in case of air supply failure.
For all CF-SAR congurations, when used at pressures
specied in the tables in Section VIII, Part B.8, air is de-
livered to the facepiece at a rate between 115 and 425
liters per minute (4-15 cubic feet per minute [cfm]).
1
SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit™ Convertible Facepiece
WARNING
The pressure within the full facepiece
continuous ow supplied air respirator
(CF-SAR) remains positive under most
working conditions, but as with all respirators, negative pressure excursions are
possible. Conditions when a respirator
can experience negative facepiece pressures include, but are not limited to:
1) the respirator is improperly worn,
2) the respirator is not used in accordance with the instructions, or
3) the respirator is over-breathed during
heavy work rates. The respirator will
provide reduced protection when operated in a negative pressure mode. Failure to comply with this warning may result in personal injury, illness, or death.
The ANSI Z88.2-1992 assigned protection factor (APF)
for full facepiece continuous ow atmosphere supplying respirators is 1000. An APF of 1000 means that this
device, when properly used, will reduce exposure by a
factor of 1000.
C. Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR)
Conguration
The SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit™ Convertible full facepiece
can be congured into a mask-mounted or belt-mounted powered air purifying respirator. In the mask-mount-
ed conguration, a high efciency (HE) lter/blower
mounts directly to the nozzle of the facepiece and deliv-
ers air to the facepiece at a ow rate greater than 115
liters per minute (4 cubic feet per minute). The blower
is powered by a belt mounted rechargeable nickel cadmium battery pack equipped with an ON/OFF switch.
This conguration is NIOSH approved and SPERIAN
recommended for respiratory protection against dusts,
fumes and mists, including asbestos-containing dusts
and mists, particulate radionuclides, and radon daughters attached to dusts, fumes and mists.
The belt-mounted PAPR respirator uses the SURVIVAIR
Opti-Fit™ Convertible facepiece, a rubber breathing
tube, a belt mounted blower with three (3) cartridges or
lters and a rechargeable Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) battery pack. Filtered breathing air is provided to the face-
piece at a ow rate greater than 170 liters per minute
(6 cubic feet per minute). To maintain NIOSH approval,
only the equipment and accessories listed on the appropriate NIOSH approval label may be used together.
IV. GENERAL WARNINGS FOR ALL RESPIRATOR
CONFIGURATIONS
The following general warnings must be observed for
proper operation of all air purifying (APR), continuous
ow supplied air (CF-SAR) and powered air purifying
(PAPR) respirator congurations. Additional warnings for
specic operating congurations are listed in Section VIII,
Parts A, B, and C, and must also be observed for proper
operation of the respective respirator conguration.
General Warnings for All Respirator Congurations:
WARNING
● Your employer (or you, if you do not
have an employer) is responsible for
establishing that this respirator is
suitable for the user’s application.
● SPERIAN cannot predict what will
happen to this respirator in every potential environment. Materials can be
chemically attacked if exposed to the
wrong environment and may exhibit
excessive corrosion or other forms
of damage. Permeation or penetration
of gases, liquids or particles through
the materials could be excessive. Extremes of temperature might cause
thermal degradation. Each of these
things, or a combination of them, could
create conditions in which this respirator would be dangerous to use.
● Before entering a hazardous environment while wearing this respirator,
you must conduct safe, scientic
tests to determine if the environment
could render the equipment unsafe.
Results of this testing should be well
documented. Seek the help of a certi-
ed safety professional or industrial
hygienist. DO NOT USE this equipment if the user would be endangered
in any way through environmentally
induced degradation of the materials
in the apparatus.
● All persons using this SPERIAN
breathing apparatus must be made
aware of its limitations. We cannot
be responsible for any damage to
property, personal injury, or death in
which environmental exposure is a
contributing factor.
● Do not use this respirator if anything
comes between the facepiece and
your face (e.g., hair, bandanna, head
covering, etc.). This condition will
prevent a good facepiece seal and
may allow the leakage of contaminants into the facepiece.
● Do not use this respirator in environments where the concentrations of contaminants are unknown or are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH).
IDLH atmospheres are dened as:
a. Those that the wearer could not
breathe for short periods.
b. Those from which the wearer
could not escape without the aid
of a respirator.
c. Those which have an immediate or
delayed adverse effect on health.
● Do not use this respirator at ambient
temperatures above 130°F (55°C).
2
SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit™ Convertible Facepiece
WARNING─Continued
● Do not use this respirator where en-
vironmental conditions could cause
the respirator facepiece to be dislodged or slip.
● Immediately return to a non-contaminated area if:
You taste or smell contaminants, a.
or if your eyes, nose, or throat
become irritated.
Breathing becomes difcult.b.
The air you are breathing be-c.
comes uncomfortably warm.
You feel nauseous or dizzy.d.
You notice a loss or decrease in e.
airow.
The facepiece moves, slips, or f.
leaks.
● This respirator does not protect exposed areas of the body. Some contaminants can be absorbed directly
through the skin while others may
irritate exposed areas.
● This respirator does not provide protection from hazardous rays or harm-
ful noise. Always wear proper head
and ear protection.
● This respirator must not be used
underwater, for fumigation, interior structural fire fighting, abrasive
blasting operations, or in areas where
high heat, sparks, or flames could
contact the respirator. If this respirator will be used during welding, it
is the user’s responsibility to obtain
the proper equipment for protection
against sparks, optical radiation, and
impact. This respirator will not pro-
tect you against these hazards.
● This respirator must be used in con-
junction with a written respirator
program meeting the requirements
of the OSHA Standard for Respiratory Protection, 29 CFR 1910.134,
available from the U.S. Department
of Labor, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration. The program
must include procedures for evaluating air contaminants and selecting
appropriate respirators; procedures
for proper use of respirators; procedures for testing the facepiece fit of
respirators; procedures for cleaning,
disinfecting, inspecting, maintaining,
and storing respirators; procedures
for determining if workers are physically and medically capable of wearing respirators; and procedures for
training employees in the use and
care of respirators and in recognizing the hazards associated with con-
taminants in the work place.
WARNING─Continued
● Do not wear this respirator if a satis-
factory fit, as determined by a qualitative or quantitative fit test, cannot
be obtained. See ANSI Z88.2, latest
issue, and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134,
latest edition. Beards, stubble, or
sideburns will prevent a good facepiece seal, and facial hair may interfere with valve function. Do not use
this respirator unless you are clean
shaven. Absence of one or both dentures can seriously affect the fit of
the respirator.
● This respirator will reduce, but will
not eliminate the inhalation of contaminants. Some sensitive individuals may experience health problems when exposed to even minute
amounts of contaminants. This respirator will not prevent health problems to those individuals.
● Use of components other than those
listed on the NIOSH approval label
and in this manual, or as authorized
by SPERIAN, or modification of this
respirator in any manner will void
the NIOSH certification and invalidates all SPERIAN’s warranties for
the respirator.
● Always read and follow the instructions listed in the Material Safety
Data Sheet for the chemicals that are
present in the work area.
● Do not use if you have a preexisting
skin condition (for example, folliculitus or vitiligo) until you obtain clearance from a medical doctor.
● This respirator must be worn and
used as specified in SPERIAN’s instructions. No respirator can provide complete protection from all
conditions. Use extreme care for
emergency conditions.
● Some individuals are sensitive to
chemicals (e.g., isocyanates, latex,
oil mists, etc.) or may have some
type of respiratory disorder (e.g.
asthma, chronic obstructive airway
disease, etc.). If you are sensitive to
any chemical or have a respiratory
disorder, you may have a severe reaction at contaminant levels well below
accepted health levels, such as the
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit
(PEL), ACGIH Threshold Limit Value
(TLV), or the NIOSH Recommended
Exposure Limits (REL). Many chemicals (e.g., isocyanates, Mercury, etc.)
have no physical warning properties
and you cannot taste or smell the
contaminants even though they may
3
SURVIVAIR Opti-Fit™ Convertible Facepiece
WARNING─Continued
be present in the respirator facepiece. This respirator will reduce, but
will not eliminate the possibility of
contaminants entering the facepiece
and causing a severe reaction. Do not
use this respirator until you obtain
clearance from a medical doctor.
● Users must clean and maintain this
respirator only in accordance with
SPERIAN’s instructions. Accessories
not offered by SPERIAN may degrade
performance, and will void NIOSH
certification.
● The respirator facepiece assembly
contains natural rubber latex, which
may cause allergic reactions in some
individuals. Discontinue use if you
experience an allergic reaction.
● Discontinue use if you experience
skin irritation or discoloration.
● This product may provide less than
adequate protection if improperly
used, which may result in personal
injury, illness, or death.
● For use by trained, qualified personnel
only.
● Do not use this respirator if it has
been left exposed in a contaminated
environment as contaminants could
collect on the inside of the facepiece
and be inhaled when the gas mask is
donned.
● Routinely used respirators must be
inspected before and after each use.
Stored emergency respirators must
be inspected after each use and at
least every 30 days. A written record
must be kept of emergency respirator inspections.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, OR DEATH.
