Excelerate Technology introduces FAST- mask
Excelerate Technology, a leading supplier of satellite and wireless-based data, voice and video solutions to the emergency services, has announced the immediate availability of FAST-mask, a new positive pressure breathing apparatus
FAST-mask® has an automatically inflating head harness that enables it to be safely donned and fully operational within just three seconds providing immediate protection in a wide range of HAZMAT and CBRN applications.
The silicone mask automatically tensions to form a positive pressure seal without having to adjust any harness straps or buckles and switches the demand valve regulator to positive pressure helping to purge the facemask of any trace of hazardous gas.
According to David Savage, CEO of Excelerate Technology: "The new FAST-mask is safer and delivers significantly higher levels of performance than most of the commonly used breathing apparatus sets that are still based on national standards and designs from around 30 years ago. It will form an essential part of the HAZMAT kits being carried on mobile incident command units that are increasingly being deployed by police, fire and ambulance services across the UK."
