Close Circuit Breathing Apparatus is the name given to equipment that meets the needs of protection wherever there is IDLH, for prolonged periods of time, as is the case of people working in rescue teams, urban rescue, search and de-contamination, rail- road accidents, tunnel cave-ins and open- ings, collapsed structures or any other set- ting requiring the use of airtight, fume-proof gear. “While all closed circuit breathing equip- ment will perform basically in the same way, offering long-term respiratory protec- tion, Scott BioPak 240 Revolution intro- duces a number of innovative features that make a difference and make us stand out among competitors”, said Tony Picket, Product Chief at Scott Air Supplied. He also added, “when compared to other CCBAs, BioPak 240 Revolution stand out because you can easily change out the cooling while the unit is being worn, without breaking into the breathing loop or remov- ing the external housing. Also, the patent- ed CO2 system uses solid absorbents and enables a super-fast deployment. By themselves, these two fea- tures make CCBA a leading product in closed circuit respiratory equipment”. BioPak 240 Revolution also prioritizes comfort and safety, with its ergonomic design, sleek profile and easy operation features. The fully padded harness places the unit on the hips, reducing fatigue, and it may be perfectly adjusted to the size of the body. BioPak 240 Revolution offers 6 litres of tidal volume and the lowest closed-circuit breathing resistance available at all work rates, when compared to similar certified devices, and cuts return to service time by up to 50%. The various warning signals, audible, visi- ble or mechanic, alert about low oxygen level, low battery, high temperature or need to replace cooling fluid while the mechanic alarm is independent and repeats audible and visual warnings, as an additional safety feature. BioPak 240 Revolution has been designed to be comfortable, but it is also sturdy and resistant, with stainless steel fibre reinforced polymer construction, providing the user with low through life costs. Pickett also states, “Scott Health and Safety is very well known throughout the industry sector as a leading manufactur- er of quality, reliable products. Our BioPak 240 continues with this tradition, offering patented advanced technology, safety and the best performance. This new CCBA represents a major step ahead in the field of respiratory protection equip- ment, the greatest breakthrough in years”. The new CCBA by Scott is available exclu- sively at authorized distributors of Scott products, for industrial, first-intervention and military personnel.
