such a way that its straps are placed in the direction of the buckles of the facemask (fig. 1). The harness should be adjusted in
such a way you can feel a uniform pressure from the sealing flap of the mask on your face. The buckles will automatically lock in
the desired position. It is recommended to first pull the pad straps, then those on the temporal areaand finally the frontal ones
(fig. 2, 3, 4). To remove the mask, release the tension of the straps by slightly lifting the clasps of the buckles, this will allow the
straps to slide back (fig. 5). Remove the mask from your chin and then lift it off your head.

3.2 How to check the pneumatic seal
Before entering a contaminated environment, it is necessary to check the seal of the facemask on the face as well as that of the
exhalation valve. Once you have put on the mask, close the connector with the palm of your hand and inhale deeply (fig. 6), so
that the mask may adhere to your face. There should be no infiltration of air in any part of the mask. The seal check should be
carried out 2/3 times.
3.3 Connecting the selected device
Refer to the instructions of the connected devices for further assembly information and any limitations.
4. Storage and transportation, cleaning and disinfection
4.1 Storage and transportation
The materials used for the TR 82 masks have optimum anti‐aging characteristics and therefore no special precautions are needed
for storing the masks. However, it is recommended to keep new facemasks in their original packaging in well ventilated
warehouses away from possible sources of heat. The masks should be stored in temperatures ranging from ‐20 to 50°C. For the
preservation of ready‐made masks, it is recommended to keep these in closed cupboards, stored away from dust, light, chemical
vapours, and any sources of heat. For transportation, use their original packaging.
4.2 Cleaning/Disinfection
After use, the masks should be cleaned with a soft cloth to remove sweat and condensation. In cases where the masks are
particularly dirty, they can be cleaned with a simple dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 40 °C using a neutral detergent.
Do not use solvents to wash the masks.Should you wish to disinfect the masks, use an aqueous solution with a chlorhexidine
based (0.5%) or electrolytic chloroxygen based (0.1%) disinfectant. Rinse all the pieces under running water again after
disinfection. For a more thorough cleaning or disinfection, requiring the complete disassembly of the mask, please refer to
SPASCIANI or one of its authorised workshops.
5. Maintenance
The maintenance, disassembly and replacement of the components of the masks must be carried out only by the Manufacturer
or by its authorized workshops or by the user if specifically trained by SPASCIANI, which periodically organizes training courses for
this purpose. At each re‐assembly of the mask, after cleaning and before use after a period of long inactivity, the mask efficiency
must be checked; to perform these checks, ARAC or ARAC Mini devices (produced by SPASCIANI) can be used.
For all information regarding maintenance courses, spare parts and control equipment, contact the Spasciani sales office.
