The OptimAir 6A powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) provides respiratory protection by filtering contaminants from ambient air and providing air flow to either a facepiece or hood (with HEPA filters only) at a rate equal to or exceeding National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) standards.

The OptimAir 6A powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) with Ultravue, Comfo, Comfo Elite, or Comfo Welder's facepieces or Tyvek hood has approvals from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Filters and cartridges are covered by separate approval.  Cartridges must be replaced whenever air flow drops below four cubic feet per minute (115 lpm) with tight-fitting facepieces, six cubic feet per minute (170 lpm) with the Tyvek hood or when the user smells or tastes the contaminant.
