Failure to do so may result in sickness or death. FILTER DISK SPLASH/SPARK PROTECTION (#7999) #7999 can be used with #7940, #7950 and #7960 filter disks. Push #7999 over filter disk until it snaps into place. (Fig. 6) FILTER DISK SERVICE LIFE Leave contaminated area and replace filters, disks or cartridges, if they become damaged, soiled, torn, or if you experience increased breathing resistance. Use Restrictions: Where oil mists may be present in the work area you must follow Restrictions #8, #9 and #0 for important restrictions on the use of these filters. FILTER DISK REPLACEMENT To remove the used #7940 filter disk, gently turn the filter disk counter clockwise and then remove it from the #790 piggyback adapter. Discard used filter disk. Then gently pull off the piggyback adapter. Inspect and clean the piggyback adapter each time the filter disk is changed. (Fig. 4) If seal gasket is worn, cracked or damaged, then replace gasket. If the piggyback adapter or sealing ring is worn or damaged, then entire adapter must be replaced. To remove the cartridge or filter disk, gently turn counter clockwise and remove from facepiece. Before replacing with a new cartridge or filter disk, inspect the facepiece to cartridge sealing surface, to make sure it is clean and undamaged. (Fig. 0) Only use replacement cartridges/filter disks from sealed bags. FILTERS FILTER ASSEMBLY Before assembling cartridges, inspect the facepiece sealing surface to make sure it is clean and undamaged. (Fig. 0) To attach the cartridge to the facepiece, align the three cartridge notches with the three bayonets protruding from the facepiece and firmly turn clockwise until the cartridge is locked into position and is unable to turn any further. Check to see that it is seated properly, both on the inside and outside and flush against the facepiece. Insert filter into the #700 retainer so that the side indicated is away from face. (Fig. 7) Check to see that filters are properly seated then push the retainer onto the cartridge until it snaps into place. Check the inhalation and exhalation diaphragms for dirt or damage and see that they are properly seated. (Fig., 3) FILTER REPLACEMENT To remove the old filter, gently pull off the filter retainer. Remove the old filter and place a new filter inside the retainer so that the side indicated is away from face. Inspect cartridge lid to be sure it is clean and undamaged. Replace the retainer. Warning: Use the #700 filter holder retainer with the #890 or #8970 filters only. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death. MAINTENANCE FACEPIECE SERVICE LIFE The effective life of the facepiece will be influenced by the use conditions and contaminants to which it is exposed. This includes concentration of the contaminants (e.g. ketones and aromatic solvents will increase the rate of deterioration), duration of exposure, ambient temperature, etc. Do not use solvents to wipe or clean the facepiece as these will reduce the life of the respirator and pose a health hazard to the user. If the material shows any signs of cracking, wrinkling, or aging, then discard the facepiece immediately. Do not expose to high ambient temperatures (above 60 F) as this will distort the facepiece, and may affect fit. CLEANING FACEPIECE ASSEMBLY Cleaning is recommended after each day s use or more frequently if necessary. Remove all filters, cartridges, inhalation & exhalation diaphragms from the facepiece. Push down and rotate counter clockwise the valve cover/head harness assembly including the straps and buckles to remove it from the mask completely. Gently scrub the facepiece with a soft brush in a mild germicidal detergent, rinse with clean water and air dry. Do not clean with solvents or expose to high temperatures. Inspect components, then reassemble and replace the exhalation diaphragm last. Replace entire respirator if worn, damaged or deformed. ENDOSKELETON The endoskeleton (Moldex part number ) may be used on either the 7800 Series Silicone Facepiece or the 7000 Series TPE Facepiece. The endoskeleton (Moldex part number ) must ONLY be used on the 7000 Series TPE Facepiece and NEVER on the 7800 Series Silicone Facepiece. INHALATION & EXHALATION DIAPHRAGMS INSPECTION/CLEANING Remove all three diaphragms to inspect. Two inhale diaphragms are located inside the facepiece and the exhale diaphragm is located under the valve cover. Open the valve cover by pulling up on the latch then remove the diaphragm. Clean and check the diaphragms for dirt, leaks, distortion, or any other damage. After washing and/or inspection, replace all three diaphragms and check to see that they are properly seated. WARNING When cleaning or sanitizing a respirator that has accumulated hazardous contaminants, the person doing the cleaning must wear the respiratory protection required to assure they will be protected from inhaling any hazardous contaminants on masks being cleaned. Caution should be exercised to assure such contaminants are not spread into respirable air, and that hazardous contaminants, when removed from the respirator, are properly disposed of. Failure to take these precautions could result in sickness or death, depending upon the contaminant. Check with your safety supervisor if you are unsure and always comply with all applicable workplace safety regulations including any substance specific standards. REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS To remove valve cover/head harness assembly, first remove exhale diaphragm then push down on the cover/head harness assembly towards the facepiece turning the assembly counter clockwise and pull away from facepiece. To remove cartridge/filter holder from inside facepiece, first remove exhale and inhale diaphragms, then pull out and away from facepiece. Replace by aligning with holes in facepiece and fully engage. Replace valve cover/head harness assembly by aligning the notches with the bayonets protruding from the cartridge/filter holder, and twist/turn clockwise. Replace all diaphragms last. Caution: Do not twist the exhale cover. Twisting may result in separation from the exhale assembly. Do not use this facepiece without the exhale cover in place. REPLACEMENT PARTS Use only Moldex replacement parts for Moldex respirators. STORAGE CAUTION: When not in use or during storage, do not expose respirator to excessive heat (above 35 F / 57 C) or hazardous substances. Such exposure, or storing in any other manner that may also distort the facepiece, may prevent a proper fit and expose you to the risk of sickness or death. SUPPLEMENTAL HAZARD WARNINGS FOR MOLDEX PARTICULATE RESPIRATORS These are Warnings and Limitations that all users must be made aware of in addition to all warnings and other information on the outside of the Moldex respirator packaging or other published related information. You must read and comply with these Warnings and Limitations at all times and only when your employer has determined that it is appropriate to use this respirator. Proper use of this respirator may reduce but will not eliminate the risk of illness or death from exposure to some Chemical, Biological, Radiological, or Nuclear (CBRN) hazards. CBRN hazards include, but are not limited to, bacteria, toxins, and viruses that can cause death, serious bodily injury or disfigurement. The long-range and short-range risks of CBRN hazards and the amount and manner of exposure that may produce such risks remain to a great extent unknown. Use of this respirator must be in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Health Advisories or any other Local, State or Federal recommendations for use of respirators against specific CBRN hazards. This respirator should not be used for many CBRN hazards. There are more efficient models of respirators with a higher level of protection available from Moldex and other manufacturers. It is up to the employer, and not Moldex, to determine if a respirator should be worn and if so, which type, size, level of protection, and model. BACKGROUND The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), a branch of the CDC and a U.S. Government agency, is responsible for testing and certifying respirators for protection against hazardous industrial contaminants. Procedures for selecting and using proper respiratory protection are regulated by various governmental agencies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). NIOSH tests and certifies certain respirators for use against chemical warfare agents, biological warfare agents or biohazards and provides advisory information for some biohazards, but OSHA and other government agencies have not set any exposure standards for these agents or biohazards, in general. Moldex does not make recommendations for any type of respirator to be used against CBRN hazards for workers or the general public. You should know that there may be no obvious warnings of the presence or release of CBRN hazards. WARNINGS FOR ALL USERS This respirator must only be used for substances having Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) and only where deemed appropriate by your employer. This respirator must be fit tested. If you cannot obtain a proper fit, do not use the respirator and do not enter the risk area. This respirator is not for use with beards or other facial hair that prevents direct contact between the face and sealing surface of the respirator. Moldex respirators, when properly fitted and used as part of a comprehensive respiratory protection program, may reduce wearer exposure to some airborne hazards, but not all. In the event of a sudden or unexpected CBRN hazard release, you may use this respirator for escape only if you have not been provided with a more appropriate respirator for this type of situation. Do not remove the mask from the face until you have left the contaminated area. Do not reuse or store for reuse or hang around neck unless your employer specifically authorizes reuse. Dispose of respirator as a hazardous waste in accordance with your employer s directions. Use other personal protective equipment, as directed by your employer. Where appropriate use protective gloves when handling or removing respirator and dispose of respirator and then gloves in accordance with your employer s directions. If CDC or other Local, State or Federal agency issues new or revised guidelines for respirator use against specific hazards, users must strictly comply. WARNINGS FOR USE OF PARTICULATE RESPIRATORS AGAINST TB OSHA and CDC have recommended the use of any of the particulate respirators approved under 4CFR84 as a means of providing help in complying with a program designed to reduce occupational exposure to tuberculosis. The level of effectiveness of respiratory protection from tuberculosis cannot be determined with currently available data. However, proper use of appropriate Moldex respirators in conjunction with a comprehensive respiratory protection program may reduce, but will not eliminate, risk of infection. Be sure to read the Limitations outlined below and strictly follow all Warnings set forth under the WARNINGS FOR ALL USERS. When using any Moldex respirator, filter replacement and/or disposal must be handled in accordance with your Healthcare Facility s comprehensive respiratory protection program. If disinfectants are used to sanitize reusable facepieces, you must consult with your Healthcare Facility and run tests to ensure the compatibility of any disinfectant with Moldex reusable facepiece materials. Use of disinfectants could impair the efficiency of the respirator and result in a loss of protection. LIMITATIONS Respirators may reduce but do not eliminate wearer exposure to airborne hazards or the risk of contracting any disease or infection. Only use this respirator as part of a comprehensive respiratory protection program. You will receive no respiratory protection if this respirator is not properly fitted and worn. Additionally, potentially hazardous particles, including infectious agents, smaller than the particle sizes used in NIOSH certifications are likely to exist in certain environments. Some published data indicates that these smaller particles may not be filtered out as effectively as the particle sizes used by NIOSH [N Series Count Median Diameter (CMD) ±.0µm Geometric Standard Deviation.86 (GSD), and R and P Series CMD 0.85 ±.0µm.6 (GSD)] when certifying respirators. It is imperative that you determine the size and potential hazards of the particles that may be present in the environment before selecting appropriate respiratory protection, and that you refer to CDC guidelines when selecting and using any respirator, particularly in environments where smaller types of particles, such as those referenced above, may be present. If the respirator comes in contact with blood or fluids, including body fluids, leave contaminated area as soon as possible and discard and replace the respirator. Moldex respirators must not be used on children.

(Fig. 5) FIT TESTS A qualitative or quantitative fit test must be performed before a respirator is assigned. Refer to current OSHA 9 CFR (f). Qualitative fit testing can be performed using the Moldex BITREX fit test kit with appropriate cartridges or filters. Quantitative fit testing can be performed with probed cartridge kit. USER SEAL CHECK Perform both a negative and positive seal check each time before you enter a contaminated area. NOTE: When in use, remove the #7999 Splash/Spark Protector prior to performing the negative pressure seal check. Negative Pressure Seal Check: Cover both cartridges and gently inhale and hold your breath. The facepiece should slightly collapse. If air leakage is detected, re-adjust the position of the facepiece and the tension of both headstraps and repeat the seal check until leakage is eliminated. (Fig. 8) Positive Pressure Seal Check: Cover the exhalation valve vent and exhale gently to create a slight positive pressure. If air leakage is detected, re-adjust the position of the facepiece and the tension of both headstraps and repeat the seal check until leakage is eliminated. (Fig. 9) WARNING: If you cannot obtain a proper fit, do not enter the contaminated area and see your supervisor. Seal check your respirator each time before you enter and periodically while wearing the respirator in the contaminated area. It is the responsibility of the Safety Director or your supervisor to assist you in determining how tight the 7000/7800 Series respirators should be on the user s face. Prior to and during use the user has the final responsibility to determine how tight the respirator should be and when it needs to be adjusted to always maintain a proper seal. Do not over or under tighten as either may cause leakage and reduce protection.

Be advised, this is simply a tool to help you collect some of the pertinent data in developing a change out schedule. It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the schedules that you develop for each operation and work site. *Moldex suggests that you use a range and use the lowest predicted breakthrough CARTRIDGES CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE SERVICE LIFE Leave contaminated area, and replace cartridges, if you smell, taste, or feel any irritation, in your nose or throat. Consult your supervisor. Replace according to your change out schedule per OSHA 90.34, or no more than eight hours after first use, or sooner if breakthrough occurs. CARTRIDGE/FILTER DISK ASSEMBLY First inspect the facepiece to cartridge or filter disk sealing surfaces to make sure it s clean and undamaged. Only use cartridges or filter disks from sealed bags. To attach the cartridge or filter disk to the facepiece, align the three cartridge or filter disk notches with the three bayonets protruding from the facepiece and firmly turn clockwise until the cartridge or filter disk is locked into position and is unable to turn any further (Fig. 0, ). Check to see that it is seated and flush against the facepiece. Then check the inhalation diaphragms for dirt or damage and see that they are seated properly. (Fig., 3) CHANGE OUT SCHEDULES OSHA (d) requires that the employer implement a change out schedule for cartridges based on objective information or data that will ensure cartridges are changed before the end of their service life (see OSHA for complete text). A cartridge s useful service life is how long it provides adequate protection from harmful chemicals in the air. The service life of a cartridge depends on many factors, including environmental conditions, breathing rate, cartridge filtering capacity and the amount of contaminants in the air. If you know what the chemical is and how much of it you are exposed to, then you are ready to estimate how long your respirator cartridges will work and apply the safety factor. You must use some type of objective data to develop a change out schedule. Options for determining a cartridge s service life include:. Conducting experimental tests.. Using a mathematical model OSHA has on its website other means of calculating breakthrough times for various chemicals. You may also wish to consider use of this website in developing your change out schedules. Be advised that actual service life can vary considerably from those calculated using these models. These models only provide rough estimates. Some of the data you will need specific to the Moldex cartridges in order to use the models on the OSHA website are: #700 has an average of 4.5 grams Organic Vapor Carbon, its height is.8 cm, inside diameter is 7.78 cm. #7600 has an absorbing equivalent of 36.0 grams Organic Vapor Carbon, its height is.8 cm, inside diameter is 7.78 cm. A change out schedule worksheet is provided. CARTRIDGE DETAILS READ THIS WARNING These weights were estimated by Miller-Nelson using methods based on their tests. It is suggested that you use default values provided by OSHA for the other cartridge specific parameters. Lastly, in order for the OSHA models to be used you may have to provide other pertinent data on the challenge agent which may be found on the SDS or from the chemical manufacturer. Moldex suggests that you use the OSHA models, or other means provided by OSHA. Moldex always recommends that you utilize the most conservative (shortest) breakthrough times.
