3M 2015 Q4 Product Discontinuation Notice GVP BE Systems

3M will be discontinuing a number of PAPR systems and specific components immediately.  Please review excerpts from the discontinuation notice as well as the official 3M notice below.

September 18, 2015 

Dear Valued Customer: 

Over the past five years, we have been pleased to introduce you to a new range of Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) headtops, breathing tubes and motor/blower assemblies under our 3M™ Versaflo™ Respirator Systems brand. We believe that these new products provide enhanced performance and comfort when compared to the products they are intended to replace. Now that 3M has new products available, we are proceeding to discontinue some older, redundant products.

Please note that 3M continues to support our valued, existing PAPR customers by providing many key PAPR consumable items for up to 3 years. Details are provided in the following pages, regarding which components remain available.

3M’s team of sales and technical service professionals stand ready to assist your exploration and discovery of the many benefits of our new products. The following pages also highlight specific 3M Versaflo PAPRs that may be appropriate as a direct replacement for your existing 3M PAPR system, depending on your application. Our team is ready to help you discover and implement use of the Versaflo products that best meet your business objectives.

The following GVP Series, non-intrinsically safe PAPR systems are discontinued immediately.

• 3M GVP-1NiMH
• 3M GVP-1UNiMH
• 3M GVP-CBNiMH

The TR-600 PAPR assembly that most closely replaces a GVP system depends on whether the PAPR
is being used with a particulate filter or a cartridge, and the type of belt. Table 2 highlights the TR-
600 series PAPR assembly that best replaces GVP systems, when those GVP PAPRs were used with
particulate filter GVP-440. These systems feature the smaller, lighter and less expensive ‘standard
capacity’ battery TR-630.

IndustrialSafety.com Recommended Goggles for Ebola Protection

Our recommended goggle for Ebola protection is the Uvex Stealth OTG anti-fog/anti-scratch goggle.

Sperian S3970D Stealth Otg W/Neoprene Band Navy Frame A/F Lens Clear Ea

• Available with Durastreme dual coating technology
• Easy lens replacement system
• Low profile, wrap-around design fits comfortably over most prescription eyewear
• Pivoting headband clip and wide adjustable slide headband provides a range of adjust-ability and all day comfort
• Indirectly Vented
• Anti-Fog Lens
• Anti-Scratch Lens

Goggles are designed to fit snugly, but not necessarily seal around the wearer’s eyes. NIOSH states: “appropriately fitted, indirectly-vented goggles* with a manufacturer’s anti-fog coating provide the most reliable practical eye protection from splashes, sprays, and respiratory droplets. However, to be efficacious, goggles must fit snugly, particularly from the corners of the eye across the brow. While highly effective as eye protection, goggles do not provide splash or spray protection for other parts of the face.”

* Directly-vented goggles may allow penetration by splashes or sprays; therefore, indirectly-vented or non-vented goggles are preferred for infection control.

Safety glasses provide impact protection but do not provide the same level of splash or droplet
protection as goggles and generally should not be used for infection control purposes.

Protect workers, reduce fire risks, and improve productivity by storing flammable fuels and chemicals in code-compliant safety cabinets. Designed to meet OSHA and NFPA standards, Sure-Grip® EX cabinets are constructed of sturdy 18-gauge (1-mm) thick double-wall, welded steel with 1-1/2” (38-mm) of insulating air space for fire resistance. High-performance, self-latching doors close easily and securely for maximum protection under fire conditions. Fail-safe closing mechanism ensures three-point stainless steel bullet latching system works every time.

For added security, U-Loc™ handle comes with a cylinder lock and key set or accepts an optional padlock. Haz-Alert™ reflective warning labels are highly visible under fire conditions or during power outages when illuminated with a flashlight.

Patented SpillSlope® galvanized steel shelves direct spills to back and bottom of a leakproof 2” (51-mm) bottom sump. They adjust on 3” (76-mm) centers for versatile storage. Cabinets also feature dual vents with flame arresters, four adjustable self-leveling feet, grounding connector, and trilingual warning label. Durable lead-free epoxy/polyester powder-coat finish provides excellent chemical resistance.

Manual-close door(s) opens to a full 180 degrees and self-latches when pushed closed. Self-close door(s) shuts and latches automatically when a fusible link melts at 165°F (74ºC) under fire conditions. Unique, concealed self-closing mechanism offers obstruction-free access to contents.

All door styles meet OSHA and NFPA 30; self-close door styles also meet NFPA 1 and the International Fire Code.

Most cabinets are FM approved and all come with a ten-year warranty
