The Two-Minute Check Before Every PAPR Use
The 3M Versaflo TR-971 Airflow Indicator is the check tool used to verify airflow on Versaflo powered air systems before use, and it is included in the manufacturer kit listings for the TR-600 kits in this range. A float reading against the marked minimum confirms the blower, filter and battery are delivering the required flow. Loose-fitting headtops on these systems do not require fit testing, and certain limited facial hair may be accommodated, per the manufacturer. Programs should confirm the filter or cartridge fitted matches the hazard assessment before issuing a unit.
