Dräger PSS AirBoss offers more comfort, higher visibility and
is easier to clean
- New self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting operations
- Light weight and adjustable for better wearing comfort
- Works with Dräger FireGround automatic accountability and monitoring system
Lübeck – The Dräger PSS AirBoss is one of the lightest self-contained
breathing apparatuses in its class, which guarantees optimal respiratory
protection even under the most difficult firefighting operations. “With the PSS
AirBoss, we are introducing a new self-contained breathing apparatus that has
been optimized primarily in terms of comfort, operational safety, and
connectivity,” explains Dräger Product Manager, Ian Bell. “Wearing a selfcontained breathing apparatus is physically straining for the firefighter. That’s
why we wanted to design a device that was as light as possible and make it
easier to wear by opimizing the ergonimics.” These ergonomic features
include a rotatable and sliding lap belt and a height-adjustable carrying
system. Together with the low weight of the self-contained breathing
apparatus, the physical strain on the user has been reduced. The PSS
AirBoss also offers various options for positioning additional equipment, such
as thermal imaging cameras and rescue hoods on the shoulder straps and lap
belts.
One of the lightest compressed air cylinders on the market
The Dräger NANO fully composite type 4 cylinder further reduces the weight
carried during dangerous firefighting operations. The cylinder body has a
weight of 2.8 kg (6.8 L air/300 bar including impact-resistant caps). This
currently makes it one of the lightest compressed air cylinders on the market.
A regulator hand wheel is used to fit and remove the cylinder easily. A new
universal cylinder strap with a buckle ensures that the cylinder can be
replaced quickly and that the self-contained breathing apparatus is safely
positioned.
