Executive Protection Systems Announces Distribution Of Revolutionary 30-Minute NIOSH Approved Escape Mask

Winchester, VA (November 1, 2005) —Executive Protection Systems (EPS), a leading turnkey provider of emergency preparedness solutions, equipment and training, announced today its distribution of a revolutionary 30-minute escape respirator that meets government standards for protection against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) inhalants.

Manufactured by ILC Dover, the company that manufacturers spacesuits for NASA, is headquartered in Frederica, Delaware. The SCape® CBRN30 earns the distinction of being the first escape category respirator approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for up to 30 minutes from CBRN agents. The SCape® CBRN30 is also the first, single-size NIOSH approved CBRN mask.

The one-size SCape® CBRN30 has no securing straps, nose cup, or mouth bit; utilizes a positive-flow ventilation system (achieved via a patented blower design); and can be used by persons with glasses and/or facial hair. Its clear hood with large visor allows the user to perform a wide range of tasks, such as using the phone or other communications devices, and to be more easily recognized while reducing the feelings of claustrophobia. Other features include a comfortable low durometer neck seal, blower indicator light, and 5-year shelf life.

“The SCape® CBRN³⁰ is exactly the type of personal protection equipment we’ve been waiting for. It’s now one of the industry’s first of its kind to provide protection for up to 30 minutes—it’s simply unprecedented and now we can offer our consumers a safer alternative that’s not only easy to use and to wear but increases an individuals chance of survival,” said Mark Miller, EPS President and Chairman. “The CBRN30 provides unparalleled protection, is immediate, foolproof, affordable, and comfortable. This product excels in circumstances where there is no room for error, and requires no training.”
