Service Life and Single-Use Safety of the Dräger PARAT 5550 Fire Escape Hood
The Dräger PARAT 5550 has a service life of 8 years while the unit remains unopened and unused. During this time, the filter and the escape hood are fully protected and ready for emergency use. Once the escape hood is opened and used for an emergency, it is designed for single use only and cannot be reused. After use, a replacement hood (refill pack) must be installed to maintain readiness.
This ensures reliable protection for at least 15 minutes against toxic fire gases and particles in critical emergency situations, while also offering cost-efficient maintenance through long-term shelf life.
