ELSA® Emergency Escape Breathing Device

The protection you need to exit from Hazardous Environments
In emergency situations where breathable air quality may be or has been compromised, getting away from the contamination is critical. That means two things:

(1) Do it quickly.

(2) Do it safely.

Scott’s “grab and go” ELSA unit is designed to be put on and activated quickly. The clear polyurethane hood fits easily and securely over the head and provides 360-degree visibility.

Since it fits over the entire head, not just the face, a proper fit is not affected by facial hair or glasses. The elastomeric neck seal and positive pressure airflow ensure that the wearer will not be harmed by airborne contaminants. Fit testing is not required. A sturdy nylon strap allows the tank to be carried, or worn on the neck or shoulder.

In hazardous or IDLH environments, ELSA provides 5, 10 or 15 minutes of constant flow emergency air at 40 lpm. When the user’s breathing rate may be dramatically increased due to stress or exertion, as in situations where the user must run up stairs to reach safety, the ELSA High Flow EEBD may be a more appropriate choice.

Based on orderly egress at 4 mph, a five-minute ELSA unit allows an individual to travel 1,760 feet. A ten-minute unit allows 3,520 feet. A fifteen-minute unit allows 5,280 feet.
