CYLINDERLESS BREATHING APPARATUS
WEIGHT
- 1.6kg
The Semmco HEAD is a self-contained, short duration oxygen (O2) rebreather that is available in three different versions:
As the wearer breathes into the front port, their exhaled breath is directed into the canisters mounted either side of their head. These canisters contain the KO2 that ‘scrubs’ the CO2 from the wearer’s exhaled breath and liberates fresh oxygen. This oxygen is delivered to the wearer and so the process continues.
The HEAD Escape Sets are contained in a sealed, sturdy carry case that includes an indicator that provides a constant, visual indication of the validity of the escape set – blue indicates the set is viable; pink indicates the set may be compromised and should be returned to the manufacturer for revalidation.

Additional Benefits
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Instant oxygen supply | The HEAD Escape Set is automatically activated as it is removed from its packaging. A chlorate starter candle boosts the initial oxygen supply, delivering oxygen into the breathing bag. |
| High levels of protection | The moulded oronasal mask and latex neck seal provide high levels of protection and negate the need for a face fit test. |
| Visual, audible alarm | The alarm provides the wearer with a three-stage audible and visual alarm sequence. Stage 1: Initiated on start up. Stage 2: Initiated after 2/3 of the effective duration. Stage 3: Initiated when the effective duration of the set has been reached. |
| Lightweight | The HEAD Escape Set weights 1.6kg (2.4kg with carry case). The HEAD Escape Set is practical and easy to wear because it is head mounted with the generators positioned either side of the wearer’s head, leaving the wearer free to move quickly and easily. |
| Storage integrity indicator | The HEAD Escape Set is contained in a vacuum sealed carry case that includes an indicator providing a constant, visual assessment of the unit’s integrity. A blue indicator shows the set is viable; pink indicates the set may be compromised and should not be used. |
