Description
2.1 Product overview
These instructions for use describe particle filters, gas filters, combination
filters, pre-filters and odourfilters which are summarised under the name
Dräger X-plore ® 1) 2) 8000 Filter . The Dräger X-plore 8000 Filters are part
of the Dräger X-plore 8000 purifying respirators.
2.2 Intended use
The filters are suitable only for use with the Dräger X-plore® 8000 purifying
respirator.
The particle filters remove particles from the air breathed by the wearer
within the specified limit values.
Gas filters are used to reduce certain damaging vapours and gases in the
inhaled air.
Combination filters are used if particles as well as gases and vapours may
occur.
Pre-filters are used to protect the particle filter and the particle filter
component of the combination filter against strong contamination (e.g. by
splashes of paint, chips or similar). The pre-filters on their own are not
suitable for use against coarse dust.
Odour filters can be combined with particle filters to filter the offensive
odors created by organic gases and vapours, as well as acidic gases (e.g.
sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, chlorine), from the inhaled air. The
occupational exposure limit for these substances may not be exceeded,
otherwise suitable gas filters must be used. When using Odour filters, a
suitable splash guard cover must be used.
The extensive list of hazardous substances in the Dräger Voice database may be
helpful for selecting the correct filter (see
www.draeger.com/voice).
2.3 Restriction on the intended use
Do not use gas filters of type A1 or A2 against low-boiling compounds. This
also applies to the corresponding multi-use filters.

Use
3.1 Preconditions for use
Before use, ensure the following:
- Do not use filters if they have passed the shelf life date (indicated on the filter).
- Store the filter in its original packaging until use.
- The suitability of the filter must be checked: colour codes, labelling, use-by date.
- Ensure that the colour point at the gas and combination filter is undamaged.
- Check the reusability of the filters with regard to use and the prevailing contaminants; contact Dräger if necessary.
NOTICE
Handle the filter with care: do not knock or drop the filter. Do not penetrate
the particle filter with pointed objects.
Air from the filter can be warm and the filter housing may become very hot
during use. This shows that the filter is functioning correctly.
3.2 Before use
Remove the blue transport protection and check the seal before use.
3.3 During use
3.3.1 General
A general guide to duty periods cannot be given, as the duty period depends
very strongly on the Ambien conditions, e.g. nature and concentration of the
contaminant, air requirement of the user, humidity and temperature.
3.3.2 Changing the filter
See Instructions for Use of the fan filter unit.
Transportation
Transport the filter in its original packaging only.
Storage
Store the filter as follows:
- Store the filter in its original packaging dry and free of contamination and keep it from direct sunlight or heat radiation.
- Recommended storage temperature -10 °C to 60 °C at a maximum relative humidity of 95%
- Do not store the filter in explosive environments.

Dispose of the filter in accordance with the applicable waste disposal
regulations.
