Product Description:

The 7700 series is the most comfortable and durable series of half masks available on the
market. This series is made of very soft, non-allergenic, silicone material. The silicone conforms
to wearer’s facial features to offer better seal on the skin. The 7700 series has a low profile
design which gives the users a wide field of vision. Besides, this series offers very low inhalation
and exhalation resistance that reduces the wearer’s fatigue. The 7700 series can be used as an
Air-Purifying respirator (with all the North’s cartridges and filters), as a Powered-Air-Purifying
respirator (with the CA102 PAPR assembly) and as an Air-Line respirator (with the CF2007
breathing tube).

The 5500 series incorporates all the comfortable and efficient design of the 7700 series with low
cost. The 5500 series is made of a TPR material.

The “7700 & 5500” series of Half Masks

Fit Testing:
A respirator should not be assigned to a person unless the person is given a respiratory fit test,
and the results of the test indicate that the face-piece of the respirator fits properly. If the
respirator is used voluntarily, where no respirator hazard exists, then certain elements of a
respirator program, such as fit testing, can be omitted. The North’s half masks can be fit tested
qualitatively by using Bitrex or Saccharin, and quantitatively by using our adaptable kit 770021.

User Seal Checks:

The wearer of a mask can perform a negative pressure seal check, at any time while wearing
the respirator, by putting a small pressure with the palm of the hand on the filter on both sides
and gently inhaling. The mask should collapse on the face. A positive pressure seal check can
also be performed by putting a small pressure with the palm on the exhalation valve in the front
and gently exiling. The mask should blow up a bit.
