Elmridge: iEvac Fire Escape Hood, ANSI/ISEA 110-2003

A fire alarm can only alert you. The American-Certified iEvac® Fire Escape Hood effectively protects you against smoke & toxic gases; providing extra time to escape.

The ONLY Smoke Escape Hood currently certified to the stringent new American Standard!*
Protects against toxic gases: carbon monoxide, smoke, hydrogen cyanide, chlorine, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and more
HEPA filter removes the smallest harmful particulates, even sub-micron particles such as anthrax, smallpox, and radioactive particles
Guards against flames, radiant heat, and molten drip
Designed for easy donning, easier breathing, and maximum visibility
Performance meets or substantially surpasses all standards*

iEvac is the first—and ONLY—hood currently CERTIFIED to the stringent American National Standard for Smoke Escape Hoods, ANSI/ISEA 110-2003 – Respiratory Protective Smoke Escape Device (RPED).* Cost-effective, Certified Protection Against: Toxic Gases: carbon monoxide, smoke, hydrogen cyanide, chlorine, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, and more

Toxic Gases: carbon monoxide, smoke, hydrogen cyanide, chlorine, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, and more
Harmful Particulates: soot, fumes, aerosols, and others. HEPA filter removes more than 99.996% of sub-micron particles such as anthrax, smallpox, and radioactive particles
Life-Threatening Physical Hazards: flammability, radiant heat, and molten drip

	Each iEvac® Fire Escape Hood comes vacuum-sealed in a protective foil bag that’s clearly printed with instructions for easy donning and use.
		A sturdy outer box makes the mask easy to see and identify. Facilitates stacking or storage. Foldout handle for convenient carry

Features & Benefits:

Fully enclosing hood protects lungs, head, eyes, and face
Twin cartridges reduce breathing resistance
Unobstructed field of view, even for descending stairs
High-visibility reflective strips make you easier to locate under the worst conditions
Quick and easy donning
Head harness adjusts from outside the hood for easy access without compromising protection
One universal size fits virtually anyone
Can be used over eyeglasses, beards, and long hair
Vacuum sealed in a super-tough, waterproof, and puncture resistant 4-layer foil bag to maintain product integrity until opened for use in an emergency.
Sturdy cardboard outer package is brrightly colored and clearly marked for visibility and easy identification. Facilitates stacking or storage. Foldout handle for convenient carry.

Independently Certified by SEI: meets and substantially exceeds the tough new American Standard.
The iEvac® Fire Escape Hood is certified by the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) as being in complete conformance with ANSI/ISEA 110-2003, American National Standard for Air-Purifying Respiratory Protective Smoke Escape Devices. This certification is earned after extensive independent testing to prove compliance with every requirement in the Standard.
