NIOSH Approval
For a listing of the components of NIOSH approved 3M™ Respirator Systems using 3M™ Airstream™
Headgear-Mounted PAPR System, refer to the NIOSH approval label and the “Systems, Replacement
Parts and Accessories” section in these instructions.
NIOSH Cautions and Limitations
A– Not for use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen.
B– Not for use in atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health.
C– Do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by regulatory standards.
F– Do not use powered air-purifying respirator if airflow is less than four cfm (115 lpm) for tight fitting
facepieces or six cfm (170 lpm) for hoods and/or helmet.
H– Follow established cartridge and canister change schedules or observe ESLI to ensure that
cartridge and canisters are replaced before breakthrough occurs.
I– Contains electrical parts which have not been evaluated as an ignition source in flammable or
explosive atmospheres by MSHA/NIOSH.
J– Failure to properly use and maintain this product could result in injury or death.
L– Follow the manufacturer's User's Instructions for changing cartridges, canister and/or filters.
M– All approved respirators shall be selected, fitted, used, and maintained in accordance with MSHA,
OSHA, and other applicable regulations.
N– Never substitute modify, add, or omit parts. Use only exact replacement parts in the configuration
as specified by the manufacturer.
O– Refer to User's Instructions, and/or maintenance manuals for information on use and maintenance
of these respirators.
P– NIOSH does not evaluate respirators for use as surgical masks.
Eye and Face Protection
Because the faceshields of the 3M™ Airstream™ Headgear Mounted PAPR System can be raised
from the normal position, ANSI Z87.1-2003/ CSA Z94.3 states that safety spectacles or goggles
must be worn in conjunction with this respirator. Failure to do so may result in serious eye injury.
WARNING
Assigned Protection Factor
3M recommends an assigned protection factor (APF) of 25 for loose fitting facepiece respirators.
Where local, state, or federal standards specify APFs, the lowest applicable APF should be used. In
Canada, follow the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction and CSA Standard Z94.4.
