The FELIX™100 is NIOSH-approved and was designed to meet the needs of healthcare workers fighting COVID-19. The unit is the first PAPR ever to be approved by NIOSH with a PAPR100-N classification. The PAPR100-N class is one of two next-generation PAPR classes recently established by NIOSH tailored to the particular needs of healthcare workers and it features new safety requirements such as low air flow and battery alarms. The device is manufactured and assembled in the USA.

What's Included

  • FELIX™100 comes with the fan-powered, hip-worn blower unit including 1 belt, 1 filter, 1 hood, 1 breathing tubing, and 1 battery per system.
  • Please note: Dual battery chargers are sold separately since groups can use one charger across multiple units. Please be sure to add the appropriate number to your order. One charger can simultaneously charge 2 batteries. The FELIX™100 PAPR batteries must be charged with this charger.

NIOSH-Approved

The FELIX™100 PAPR is NIOSH-approved under the Public Health Emergency for PAPR100-N protection (99.97% filter efficiency level) effective against particulate aerosols free of oils. The FELIX™100 meets NIOSH requirements per 42 CFR Part 84 for respiratory protection against particulates.

Features

  • Fitted with a replaceable 100-N filter that blocks particles >0.3 μm at 99.97% efficiency (compared to 95% with N95 masks) housed in a durable casing milled from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy.
  • Continuous airflow supply at >170 L/min to the user.
  • Comfortable loose-fitting hood made from light, durable material that covers the entire head and does not require fit testing.
  • A wide-angle PETG face shield offers a large field of view optimizing worker productivity and safety.
  • Hip-belt configuration with LED indicators and audible alarms for low battery level and low air flow for user safety.

Device Details

  • The blower units are often powered by rechargeable batteries that can last up to 10 hours, so shifts can be completed safely without concern for reduced air quality.
  • The devices also have warning sounds/signals to prevent reduced air flow or the user from overusing the device below safe battery levels.
  • Designed by medical device engineers who previously worked at Stryker, J&J, NASA, and LifeCell
  • OSHA-compliant noise levels below 80db
  • All blower units are manufactured from aluminum casings for added durability and ease of cleaning with no significant increase in weight for the user
  • High quality DuPont material for hoods
  • American PAPR device comes with a battery charging station that can charge two batteries at a time, which is ideal for charging a second battery for one user, or batteries for two PAPR devices at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT DOES THE PAPR COME WITH?

Our FELIX100 PAPR is equipped with a loose-fitting hood made of DuPont material that meets safety requirements. The breathing tube is attached to the hood and blower unit, and is detachable. The blower unit includes a 100-N grade filter, designed to last a year in ICU or equivalent setting. The battery provided holds a charge for 8+ hours, typically recharges in 4 hours, and is high grade industrial quality that’s designed to recharge 300-500 times, or approximately 1 year.

IS THE BATTERY CHARGER INCLUDED?

The charger is sold separately and can charge two batteries at a time. The charger is industrial grade and is designed to last several years. You must use the American PAPR battery charger with the American PAPR batteries.

IS YOUR PAPR NIOSH CERTIFIED?

Yes! Our FELIX100 PAPR is NIOSH-approved under the Public Health Emergency for PAPR100-N protection (99.97% filter efficiency level) effective against particulate aerosols free of oils. The FELIX100 meets NIOSH requirements per 42 CFR Part 84 for respiratory protection against particulates.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY DEVICE AFTER PAYMENT?
