Description
WARNING: Danger to health
The Dräger PARAT 1200/1260 does not protect against carbon monoxide or in
cases of oxygen deficiency!
Failure to heed this warning may result in death or serious physical injury.
Intended use
The Dräger PARAT 1200/1260 is a filtering escape apparatus to aid self-rescue
from:
- Organic gases and vapors with a flash point over 65°C
- Inorganic acid or base gases and vapors such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and ammonia.
The products are designed for a maximum escape duration of 10 minutes. They are not designed to be reused. In cases of very high gas concentrations or unusual gases, such as those with a flash point below 65 °C, the nominal filter exposure time may be reduced. The operator must conduct a risk assessment to determine whether the products are suitable for the application at hand. Inexperienced users may have difficulty breathing. These filtering escape apparatus are stored in a plastic housing. In the PARAT 1260, the filtering escape apparatus is packaged in a barrier bag.

- DIN 58647-7:1997
- (EU) 2016/425

The Dräger PARAT 1200 is marked with an individual weight.
Example:
Weigh the complete device, including its housing, for the first time after one year (expiration date minus 3 years) and then every 6 months. If the measured weight is higher than the weight indicated on the product, dispose of the Dräger PARAT 1200. Remove any contamination from the product before weighing. Factors such as labels or dust can influence the weight.
The Dräger PARAT 1260 does not require maintenance. Once the specified expiration date has passed, dispose of the filtering escape apparatus.
Storage
WARNING: Danger to health
Failing to store or transport the filtering escape apparatus as specified in
the storage conditions may impair the filter performance.
- Always follow the instructions in the storage conditions.
Storage conditions
Store the filtering escape apparatus in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight.
On average over a period of several weeks
If warm and humid ambient conditions for a period of several weeks of the storage period cannot be ruled out due to the local climate, e.g. in subtropical and tropical climates, Dräger advises that the filter performance may deviate from the requirements of the standard as the apparatus ages. In such cases, Dräger recommends using the product variant Dräger PARAT 1260 with a high-quality aluminum barrier bag to protect the filter against critical climatic impacts over the entire life span of the apparatus.
Disposal
Dispose of the product in accordance with the applicable rules and
regulations.
