A belt-mounted powered air-purifying respirator with choice of 2 proven tight-fitting facepieces in 3 sizes. The motor/blower provides constant air flow of a minimum 115 Ipm to the facepiece via the breathing tube. Can be used with CBRN cartridge or with the DptiFilter XL or PAPR GME Multigas HE cartridge for tactical operations.

• Protects wearers for up to 8 hours under many hazardous conditions
• First CBRN-approved PAPR with a tight-fitting facepiece
• Choice of 2 proven positive-pressure facepieces, the MSA Millennium and the MSA Ultra Elite
• Choice of CBRN cartridge or mUlti-gas / particulate chemical cartridges for non-CBRN use

MSA's Responder CBRN PAPR system is ideal for military and special operations personnel who need non-IDLH respiratory protection for an extended period of time.
Industry trusted, with over 50,000 C420's fielded in various U.S. military programs, the C420 Motor-Blower is ideal for filtering contaminants from ambient air and providing a constant airflow of at least 1151pm to the user's facepiece, providing a twenty times greater OSHA assigned protection factor than APR, due to positive pressure in the mask.
The C420 is available with 2 batteries that have the ability to be "hot-swapped" during warm environment use. The Lithium Sulfur Dioxide mission battery has an 8 hour run-time. The Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery has a 4 hour run-time. The motor / blower will not interfere
with radio communications as it is EMI shielded to MIL-STD-461C.
The C420 comes complete with the motor-blower, belt, airflow indicator and breathing tube.

About the new CBRN PAPR Standard
NIOSH released a CBRN standard for powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) in October 2006. NIOSH conducted product testing and issued approvals to MSA's Responder PAPR, which was the first PAPR with a tight-fitting facepiece to pass the NIOSH requirements.

When escaping from CBRN agents, every second counts. Depend on the Safe Escape Hood from MSA. The hood gives your employees the protection they need to escape from a terrorist situation safely, quickly and easily - whether they work in high-profile office environments,
for government agencies or embassies, or as law enforcement or first responders. The MSA Safe Escape Hood is the equipment of choice for today's diverse workforce.
Engineered for Maximum Performance
Manufactured with a high-performance laminate material, the hood is designed to provide you with the latest in head and neck coverage with respiratory protection against CBRN agents. The soft, high-stretch rubber neck seal conforms to irregular neck contours, allowing a secure fit on a wide variety of users. Its unique sized nosecup helps reduce lens fogging and carbon dioxide buildup by directing airflow inside the hood.
The Safe Escape Hood canister features a high-efficiency particulate filter and activated carbon to combat aerosols, gases and vapors.
In fact, the canister used in the hood contains 50% more carbon than similar canisters used by the U.S. military. Furthermore, MSA has performed extensive testing on the Safe Escape Hood against both simulated and live chemical agents beyond what is tested by NIOSH.
Designed for Comfort
In addition to designing the hood for maximum protection, MSA also took into account the comfort factor. A user who is potentially under stress requires ease of donning and use. The large lens and translucent hood allow better visibility, face recognition and help reduce claustrophobia. The nose cup allows communication superior to that of conventional devices, which require wearers to breathe through a mouth bit. With the integrated nose cup, wearers can breathe and speak normally to provide potentially life-saving communications. The hood also features cradle-type self-adjusting head straps that allow for quick, no assistance donning in the event of an emergency.

Note: The only difference between the standard and tactical versions is the outside labeling on Hextreme Case.
