FAQs
What type of contaminants does the ABEK1P3 filter protect against?
The ABEK1P3 filters offer protection against organic gases and vapors, inorganic gases and vapors, acid gases, ammonia, and very fine toxic particles (dust).
How often should I replace the filters?
Filter replacement frequency depends on the concentration of contaminants and usage. Generally, replace them when breathing becomes difficult, an odor is detected, or after a specified period of use (refer to filter manufacturer guidelines).
Can I wear this mask with glasses?
The Elipse Integra Mask has a low profile designed to minimize interference with other PPE, including safety glasses. However, compatibility may vary based on the style of glasses.
Is the mask suitable for all-day use?
Yes, the mask is designed for extended wear with features like reduced breathing resistance, a comfortable TPE seal, and adjustable straps. However, comfort can be subjective and depend on work intensity.
What is the lifespan of the mask itself if not used?
The lifespan of the mask body itself is typically several years, provided it is stored correctly and not exposed to damaging conditions. The primary limitation on use will be the lifespan and effectiveness of the replaceable filters.
Can I wash the entire mask?
The mask body and straps can be washed with mild soap and water. The filters themselves should not be washed and must be replaced when they are no longer effective.
Troubleshooting
Mask does not create an airtight seal
Readjust the head strap for a tighter fit. Ensure facial hair is not interfering with the seal. Clean the mask's sealing surface and the user's face.
Difficulty breathing through the mask
Check if the filters are clogged or expired. Ensure filters are correctly installed. The large exhalation valve should minimize this, but extreme exertion can increase resistance.
Fogging inside the mask
Ensure the mask is fitted correctly. Check that the exhalation valve is functioning properly. Reduce physical exertion if possible, as heavy breathing increases moisture.
Mask smells unpleasant
Clean the mask body thoroughly. If the smell persists or is related to filtered contaminants, it may indicate a need for filter replacement or a faulty seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the mask is the correct size (M/L) for your face. It should create a seal without overtightening.
- Select the appropriate replaceable filters (e.g., ABEK1P3) based on the contaminants present in your work environment. Ensure filters are correctly attached to the mask body until they click into place.
- Adjust the 4-point head strap for a snug, comfortable fit that creates an airtight seal around the face. The comfort pad should rest at the back of the head.
Compatibility:
- This mask is designed to work with GVS's proprietary replaceable ABEK1P3 filters.
- Ensure compatibility with other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses or helmets if required. The mask's low profile aims to minimize interference.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the mask body and strap regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the mask is thoroughly dried before storage.
- Storage: Store the mask in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemical vapors when not in use. Keep filters in their original sealed packaging until needed.
- Filter Replacement: Replace filters according to the manufacturer's recommendations or when breathing resistance increases, odor is detected, or filters become saturated/damaged.
