2 Description/Intended use
The Dräger PARAT 3100 and Dräger PARAT 3200 are filtering escape devices for
self-rescue while escaping from industrial plants in which toxic organic or
inorganic gases and vapours, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride and other acid
gases, ammonia and organic ammonium compounds are suddenly released.
The devices are designed for a maximum duration of escape of 15 minutes. They
are non-reusable.
This period may be reduced in the case of high concentrations (1 Vol%) or if
chemicals which boil at low temperatures (Group 1 and 2) are present.
Inexperienced users may have difficulty breathing.
DANGER
The filtering escape devices provide no protection against carbon monoxide or
shortage of oxygen!
Failure to heed this warning may result in death or serious physical injury.
The filtering escape devices are packed in a plastic case suitable for wearing on the belt or carrying in a jacket pocket.
WARNING
If the filtering escape device is used outside the storage temperature range,
the filter performance may decrease.
The Dräger PARAT 3100/3200 is approved in accordance with:
- DIN 58647-7:1997
