The Dräger PARAT 5550 is an Escape Device packaged in a flame-retardant holster. This Draeger Escape Device was specifically developed for fire rescue teams for use in victim rescue. The PARAT 5550 is system approved together with Dräger Breathing Apparatus according to EN 137:2006, Type 2.
Benefits:
”Ready to act” increases safety
The Dräger PARAT® 5550 Escape Device can be carried along (e.g. on the Breathing Apparatus) without restricting the rescuer’s freedom of movement. When it is needed, it is there. The fast deployment of the Dräger PARAT 5550 contributes to the safety of the person being rescued.
Always available, always ready
For at least 15 minutes, an Escape Device protects against highly toxic fire-related gases, like CO, as well as vapors and particles. Carried at all times, the Draeger PARAT 5550 can also save lives in a respiratory protection emergency, for example in the event of a disconnected air supply.
Easy opening, intuitive use
The Dräger PARAT® 5550 system solution keeps carrying, opening and donning the fire escape hood simple: the wearer opens the holster, removes the foil pouch containing the escape hood, opens it along the perforation – with ease, even when wearing gloves – and helps the person being rescued to don it.
More than just an accessory
The material used is suitable for cleaning in washing machines. The inner label can be used for personalization, meaning that the holster can be marked with an individual’s identification. The holster can be attached to the Breathing Apparatus using the integrated belt loop with emergency release or the approved accessories like the shoulder harness or the carabiner hook.
Cost efficiency through long service life
The Dräger PARAT 5550 has an eight year service life time and the filter is well protected through the filter plugs during this time. So it is uncritical if the unit is stored for some time before use. The filter expiration date is visible from the outside of the foil pouch enabling cost-effective maintenance.
