Advantage Fit Test Adapter 10056424

The Advantage 200 LS Respirator's lighter and softer facepiece is made from a clear blue formulation of thermoplastic rubber to give workers more comfort and stability than ever.
Extensive anthropometric research led to the Advantage Respirator's unique design. MSA's engineers examined facial form data of over 8,000 people and, with CAD technology, developed the AnthroCurve™ Sealing Surface, which instantly conforms to each wearer's unique facial characteristics.
The unmatched fit and comfort start with a soft, pliable combination of rubber and plastic that provide a virtually customized fit. These are key components in the patented MultiFlex® System that equalizes pressure on the faceseal area, while delivering exceptional stability, so the respirator will not collapse during wear.

Advantage 400 Series Half Mask Respirators
Advantage 400 Series Respirator  Advantage 420 Respirator

Advantage® 400 Series Half-Mask Respirator
The innovative Advantage 400 Respirator, the latest addition to MSA's Advantage Respirator family, offers users exceptional comfort and sophisticated design. The Advantage 400 Respirator raises the bar for ease of use, as users can quickly adjust the mask according to their individual needs.
Top 5 reasons why you should purchase the Advantage 400

  1. Patent-pending one-piece UniBond over-mold facepiece offers stability, comfort, and superior fit. The intelligent design eliminates multiple leak paths and with only three major components, the Advantage 400 significantly reduces the cost of ownership.
  2. AnthroCurve™ II face-seal adapts perfectly to multi-ethnic head sizes and facial contours. The facepiece design is based upon the new proposed NIOSH fit test panel and provides users in many global regions with excellent fit, and superior comfort.
  3. Patent-pending yoke and harness design enables quick and easy switch between lock-down and drop-down modes. Drop-down mode allows user to remove facepiece and rest it safely against the chest while maintaining use of head protection. Lock-down harness mode allows the user to lock in a personal fit; respirator can be donned without further adjustments.
  4. Low-profile design integrates extremely well with other personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hardhats, eyewear, goggles, and faceshields. Unique, one-piece ComforTop headband and harness assembly eliminates pressure points when head protection is worn.
  5. Comfort and adjustability with our form-fitting neck buckles and wide straps that eliminate discomfort around the neck, and the adjustable crown strap which adapts to different head sizes.

AnthroCurve II Sealing Surface Face Seal
AnthroCurve Fit Chart

Compared to other half-mask respirators available on the market today, the Advantage 420 is designed to fit a much broader range of users who have unique facial features and dimensions. Through years of research and facial measurements of different ethnicities, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has developed a new fit test panel shown here.
MSA is proud to say that the Advantage 400 face seal design is based upon this panel. What it means to you is a higher degree of protection for a larger number of workers.

Advantage Fit Test Adapter

10056424

The Advantage 3000 Full-Face Respirator incorporates MSA's global engineering expertise and is designed to meet NIOSH and EN standards.
The respirator features a wraparound lens combined with a soft, pliable silicone facepiece that provides a total solution to your air-purifying respirator needs.
Its fit technology is based on the proven faceseal of the Ultra Elite Facepiece, which was based on facial measurements from more than 8,000 people.
For the utmost in convenience, the Advantage 3000 uses the same cartridges and filters as the Advantage 200 LS Respirator.
The Advantage 3000 Respirator enhances worker performance through a new design that allows even lower breathing resistance and includes a standard nosecup that reduces fogging in low temperatures or high humidity conditions.
In addition, the facepiece lens has a scratch resistant coating and has been engineered to be optically correct, giving you superior visibility and peripheral vision. The Advantage 3000 Respirator meets all performance requirements of ANSI Z87.1.2003 (protective eye and face protection). Donning the mask is made easier with pre-adjustable rubber straps. With the Advantage 3000 Respirator, you can set the position of the upper straps to receive a consistent fit, time after time. In addition, the preset upper straps prevent uncomfortable snags during donning and doffing, and also provide a tighter, more secure seal. Wearers also can choose the new European-style Advantage harness, which dons like a catcher's mask.

The Advantage 1000 Full-Face Respirator features a wraparound flexible lens that offers excellent fit and comfort with increased vision. It weighs 40% less than conventional full-face respirators and uses the same cartridges as the Advantage Family Respirators. The Advantage 1000 Respirator is constructed of super-soft Hycar™ rubber that provides the feel and comfort of silicone but has better permeation resistance. The facepiece, which is available in three sizes, has a unique inturned lip seal that provides an exceptional seal against a wide range of facial contours. The Advantage 1000 facepiece also features a distinctive, flexible urethane lens that is integrally bonded to the facepiece, eliminating the need for rigid lens retainers that can cause unwanted pressure points. Standard equipment includes a speaking diaphragm, for clear, short-range communications, and a nosecup, to reduce lens fogging in low temperatures or high-humidity conditions.

An appropriate cartridge change-out schedule must be developed by a qualified professional, unless the cartridge/canister utilizes an end-of-service-life indicator. The change-out schedule must take into account all factors that may influence respiratory protection including specific work practices and other conditions unique to the worker's environment. If using against substances having poor warning properties, there is no secondary means of knowing when to replace the cartridges/canister. In such cases, take appropriate additional precautions to prevent overexposure, which may include a more conservative change-out schedule or using an air-supplied respirator or SCBA. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death. As a reference, below is a partial list of substances having poor warning properties:

Hydrogen cyanide

Nitric acid

Phosphorus trichloride

Aniline
