3M 29219, High Efficiency Particulate Filter (HE) GVP-440, for use with GVP-Series Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR), 7000029618, 8 EA/Case

NIOSH-approved high efficiency particulate filter used for GVP systems from 3M for respiratory protection against particulates.

Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) are motorized systems powered by a battery pack which draw air through a filter or cartridge to provide respiratory protection to the wearer. The blower unit can be mounted on the waist, face, or head, depending on the system selected. Potential benefits include:

? Certain PAPR systems provide a higher level of respiratory protection than non-powered air filtering respirators
? Constant flow of air can provide cooling for the worker, resulting in greater comfort for the wearer
? Loose-fitting headgear options provide respiratory protection without the need for a tight faceseal or fit testing
? Battery-powered blower pulls the air through the filter resulting in no additional breathing resistance to the wearer
