deteriorate the nosecups. MSA recommends cleaning
the Universal Safe Escape Respirator Trainer between
each user and after each training session.
Cleaning the Universal Safe Escape Respirator Trainer
For thorough cleaning, non-sudsing Confidence Plus
Cleaning Solution (P/N 10009971) from MSA is recom-
mended. It is a germicidal cleaner that cleans and disin-
fects in one operation. It retains its germicidal efficiency in
hard water to inhibit the growth of bacteria. It will not
deteriorate rubber, plastic, or metal parts. Refer to the
label for use instructions. A solution as effective as
Confidence Plus Cleaning Solution and compatible with
MSA respirator components may be substituted. ANSI
suggests that users be trained in the cleaning procedure.
1. Preparing Solution
a. Follow the instructions with the Confidence Plus
Cleaning Solution.
b. If the Confidence Plus Cleaning Solution is not
used, wash in a mild cleaning solution, rinse thor-
DOFFING
oughly, and submerge in a germicide solution for
the manufacturer's recommended time.
2. Clean and Disinfect the Facepiece
a. Remove the canister/cartridge(s) from the face-
piece.

the cleaning solution. A soft brush or sponge can
be used to clean the soiled facepiece.
c. Rinse the facepiece and components in clean,
warm (110°F), water (preferably running and
drained).
If not rinsed thoroughly, cleaning agent residue may
irritate the wearer's skin.

by placing them near a heater or in direct sunlight.
The rubber will deteriorate.
e. Harness (straps and buckles)
f. The facepiece and components should be air-dried

DO NOT force-dry the parts by placing them in a
heater or in direct sunlight. The rubber will deteriorate.

When facepiece is thoroughly dried, store the face-
piece in the clam shell in which it was shipped.

Respirator, be careful not to breathe or touch the con-
taminant in handling the respirator or its parts. DO
NOT use the trainer cleaning and disinfecting proce-
dure. Follow decontamination and disposal proce-
dures established by appropriate authorities.
