FAQs
Do I need to buy filters separately?
Yes, the Scan Twin Full Face Respirator is supplied without filters. You will need to purchase compatible Scan particle and/or gas cartridges separately based on the hazards you will be exposed to.
How do I ensure a proper seal?
A proper seal is achieved by adjusting the 4-point headband until the respirator fits snugly against your face without gaps. Always perform a user seal check as instructed by the manufacturer before each use.
What type of contaminants does this respirator protect against?
When fitted with appropriate filters, it protects against dust, fumes, vapors, and gases. The full face design also protects the eyes from projected debris and splashes.
Can I wear glasses or goggles with this respirator?
No, this is a full-face respirator with an integrated visor that provides eye protection. You cannot wear separate glasses or goggles with it.
How often should I replace the filters?
Filter replacement depends on the type of filter, the concentration of contaminants, and your breathing rate. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific filters and replace them when breathing becomes difficult, the filter is damaged, or according to a predetermined schedule.
Is this respirator suitable for extended wear?
Yes, it is constructed from soft silicone and features an exhalation valve to reduce heat and moisture, making it designed for comfort during extended wear.
What standard does this respirator meet?
This respirator is certified to EN136:1998 standards for full face masks.
Troubleshooting
Respirator leaks around the face seal.
Ensure the 4-point headband is adjusted correctly and provides a snug fit. Clean the sealing surfaces of the facepiece and your skin. Perform a seal check following the manufacturer's instructions.
Difficulty breathing or poor airflow.
Check if the attached filters are clogged or expired. Replace filters if necessary. Ensure the exhalation valve is clean and functioning properly.
Visor fogs up excessively.
Ensure the exhalation valve is not blocked. Use anti-fog wipes or solutions specifically designed for respirators if the issue persists, though proper ventilation via the exhalation valve should minimize this.
Filters are difficult to attach.
Ensure you are using compatible Scan bayonet-fit filters. Align the connectors correctly before attempting to push and twist them into place. Check for any debris in the bayonet slots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Filter Selection: Choose appropriate Scan particle or gas cartridges based on the specific hazards present in your work environment. Ensure they are certified for the contaminants you expect.
- Filter Attachment: Align the bayonet connectors on the respirator with the corresponding slots on the filter cartridges. Push the cartridges in and twist clockwise until they lock into place.

- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the respirator for damage, including cracks in the face shield, tears in the silicone, or damage to the headband and straps. Check the exhalation valve for proper function and cleanliness.
- Storage: Store the respirator in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a dedicated storage container, away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
