Avon
Protection is targeting the Middle East market with its
recently launched NH15 compact CBRN escape hood at IDEX
2011. This, Avon claims, is the smallest NIOSH certified
CBRN Air Purifying Escape Respirator and its low cost makes
it ideal for VIP security support, or for police, emergency
medical services and fire officers in a CBRN scenario.

The NH15 hood
has a five year shelf life and provides a high level of
respiratory, eye and face protection for a minimum of
fifteen minutes to allow the user to evacuate from a contaminated
area. Made of clear material, the NH15 not only protects
against all airborne CBRN threats but also protects the
face from liquid agent splashes.
The clear material gives a non threatening appearance,
aids with recognition and also allows for superior visual
communication. Twin low-profile filters on a unique hinge
system feature the latest filtration media which reduces
breathing resistance and a front reflector makes it easier
to identify colleagues in low light environments.
The hood, which has recently been awarded full certification
against the NIOSH Air Purifying Escape Respirator (APER)
standard, requires minimal training and can be deployed
effectively in under 30 seconds, aided by the self adjusting
harness. The NH15 comes vacuum sealed in a foil bag and
is protected by a durable reinforced pouch small enough
to store in a briefcase, glove compartment or drawer.
The single use device can also be carried on a utility
belt or be thigh mounted and unlike conventional respirators
does not require annual OSHA specified fit testing.
