Special Instructions


• All respiratory equipment selection should be read in conjunction with BS EN 529:2005 for selection, use care and maintenance.
• Do not use these cartridges or enter in area where:
• The Oxygen concentration is not known or is less than 19.5%.
• Contaminants or their concentrations are unknown or are known to be immediately dangerous to life or health. Particulate or gas concentrations exceed levels fixed by the applicable health and safety regulations.
• The requirement for leak tightness is unlikely to be achieved if worn againsta beard or facial stubble.
• Not to be used for firefighting.
• Do not use in explosive atmospheres.

These cartridges do not supply oxygen. Do NOT use in oxygen deficient atmospheres (e.g. tanks or other poorly ventilated areas). The lifetime of a filter depends on many factors including the work rate, the air flow and the concentration of the contaminant in the atmosphere. A particulate filter should be changed immediately when particulate breakthrough of a contaminant is detected by smell, taste or any other means. A particulate filter should be changed when breathing becomes impaired.

The UNIFIT SINGLE FILTER CARTRIDGE is for use with SINGLE filter masks only. DO NOT USE SINGLE CARTRIDGES WITH DROMEX TWIN CARTRIDGE MASKS. DO NOT USE PRE-FILTERS OVER PARTICULATE CARTRIDGES Use genuine DROMEX UNIFIT particulate cartridges.
