Dräger PAS® Colt

Versatile Airline and Short-Duration Breathing Apparatus

The Dräger PAS® Colt is a modular, high-performance short-duration breathing apparatus (SDBA) and airline respirator engineered to deliver reliable life safety protection in hazardous industrial work areas. Designed with a unique, drop-down hip harness, this flexible system allows operators to utilize it as a dedicated emergency escape device, an airline respirator, or a rapid-intervention rescue pack in toxic and immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) environments.

Key Technical Features

• Ergonomic Hip-Slung Harness: Distributes cylinder weight evenly across the waist, leaving the user's upper body free from restriction and minimizing neck strain.

• Unique Drop-Down Design: Enables quick, easy access to the cylinder from its storage pocket, facilitating fast operations in tight spaces.

• High-Performance Pneumatics: Incorporates the same trusted first-stage pressure reducer technology found in premium Dräger SCBA setups to maintain consistent, effortless airflow.

• Integrated Airline Connection: Optional automatic switch-over valve allows smooth transition between an external air line supply and the backup cylinder.

Industrial Benefits and Applications

• Confined Space Entry (CSE): The compact, hip-mounted profile allows technicians to squeeze through narrow manways, utility vaults, and storage tanks without catching lines.

• Industrial Hazard Escape: Delivers a safe, uninterrupted reserve of breathing air for rapid self-rescue during toxic gas leaks or refinery process failures.

• Decontamination and Quick Fixes: Perfect for plant maintenance personnel requiring quick, short-duration respiratory isolation during brief component repairs or chemical washdowns.
