SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
3M™ Adflo™ Powered Air Respirator is a breathing protection

processes when used as a system in combination with approved
headtops.

designed for use above sea level 0-3000 m (1500 m with gasfilter)
and has intergrated automatic altitude compensation to adjust for
changes in air density.
