  • An EEBD is a self-contained breathing apparatus designed to provide a temporary and immediate supply of breathable air in emergency situations, particularly in environments with compromised air quality.

  • EEBDs are crucial in scenarios such as fire, gas leaks, or other emergencies where the atmosphere is hazardous or oxygen levels are insufficient for breathing.

  • EEBDs typically use compressed air or oxygen cylinders to supply the wearer with breathable air. Upon activation, the user puts on the device, ensuring a secure seal, and breathes from the provided air source.

  • The duration of air supply varies based on the model and specifications, typically ranging from 10 to 30 minutes.

  • SMEE Anycape EEBD provides a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 50 minutes of oxygen supply. We understand how important it is where every breath counts.

  • EEBDs should be inspected as regularly as every six months and can vary with regulation. Routine checks should include examining the integrity of the seal, inspecting the pressure gauge, and ensuring the cylinder is within its expiration date.

  • While SMEE EEBDs are designed for ease of use with a four-step donning and activation process, training is highly recommended. Users should be familiar with the device's operation, fitting, and understand escape procedures to ensure effective use in emergencies.

  • EEBDs should be stored in a designated, easily accessible location, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and corrosive substances. Regularly check the storage area for any signs of damage or tampering.

  • EEBDs are suitable for use in confined spaces where the atmosphere may pose a threat to breathing.

  • SoftTouch Diabetes Insulin Safety Pen Needles are medical devices designed for use with Insulin Pens. These needles play a crucial role in the administration of insulin for individuals with diabetes.

  • Proper storage and handling maintain the integrity and sterility of the needles. Store needles in a clean, dry place at room temperature. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
