Product Overview

Before you can protect the lives of others, you have to protect yourself. The Dräger PSS® 7000 self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) provides unmatched comfort, durability, and safety in the harshest environments. With unparalleled ergonomic performance, the PSS® 7000 combines trusted pneumatics, flexible fit, and cylinder Quick Connection, freeing the firefighter to concentrate on the task at hand.

 

Built to satisfy the most rigorous demands

​Based on feedback from firefighters throughout North America, the Dräger PSS 7000 SCBA with the Sentinel 7000 monitoring system satisfies the most rigorous demands of today’s complex fire grounds. first responders. Backed by a 15-year, bumper-to-bumper warranty, the Dräger PSS 7000 distinguishes itself from other SCBAs in the marketplace with ergonomic performance, clean-ability, and toughness.

Innovative harness system provides unmatched comfort and durability

The Dräger PSS 7000 SCBA is designed so the heaviest components sit at a lower center of gravity to increase stability and balance, allowing the wearer to work more effectively with less fatigue. The PSS 7000 includes an adjustable harness suspension system that provides the ultimate in comfort and extended wear. Durable webbing and advanced compression-molded comfort padding offer up to 6.5-times higher abrasion resistance than traditional padding. The material surface is easy to clean and disinfect with a highl resistance to chemical and mechanical damage.

The harness has a high-grip, anti-slip inner surface that stays securely in place without a chest strap or having to over-tighten the shoulder straps. Cooling channels in the shoulder straps and waist belt reduce the likelihood of compression burns. A stainless-steel, harness-friction buckle makes the SCBA easy to don and doff.

Ergonomic three-position backplate allows freedom of movement

The Dräger PSS 7000 is designed to move with the wearer allowing unrestricted movement while walking, crawling, or climbing. The backplate automatically lengthens and pivots to mirror wearer movements. The unique, self-adjusting and pivoting waist belt keeps the SCBA on the hips when a firefighter reaches, preventing your coat from riding up.

To reduce back strain, the SCBA’s weight is designed to ride on the hips. The three-position, carbon-fiber composite backplate adjusts to comfortably fit different torso lengths.

A slide-and-lock harness mechanism allows the harness and waist belt to be connected or removed from the backplate quickly without tools. To minimize the risk of snagging or damage, supply hoses are integrated neatly into the backplate.

Rapid, secure cylinder change-outs save precious time

The PSS 7000 has a lock-and-load system that lets colleagues securely change out cylinders quickly. A proven, quarter-turn QuickConnect adapter allows quick and easy attachment of the cylinder to the reducer, saving time compared to conventional threaded reducer hand-wheel-and-cylinder CGA connections. QuickConnect features a safety interlock system that prevents disconnection at pressures above approximately 70 psi.

Dräger Sentinel 7000–Real-time monitoring

The Sentinel 7000 electronic monitoring system provides options to satisfy the needs of any fire department. Incorporating a centralized power supply and pressure sensor module within the backplate, the robust system combines maximum component protection with balanced weight distribution for reduced physical stress.

Housed in impact-resistant, water-resistant casings, the Sentinel 7000 demonstrates excellent reliability on the fire ground.

An electronic gauge provides real-time monitoring of essential information, including:

  • A personal alert safety system (PASS) device
  • Intuitive push-button operation for ease of use
  • Configurable settings to suit individual preferences
  • Data logging for improved post-incident analysis
  • Accurate, continuously updated digital display of pressure and time to EOSTI activation (time based on dynamic breathing rate)
  • Battery status display
  • 360° visual and audible alarms triggered when the PASS is activated
  • Automatic self-tests and system tests
