The Dräger PSS AirBoss offers best in class ergonomics and is one of the lightest weight breathing apparatus for firefighting. Lessons learned from firefighters around the world as well as latest innovations in technology have led us to design an even safer and cleaner SCBA system that enables you to breathe more easily and for longer.
Automatic Accountability System Our state-of-the-art automatic accountability system, Dräger FireGround, supplies the incident commanders (IC) with live information from SCBA wearers –making sure that all SCBA wearers are accounted for at every incident.
The Dräger FireGround gives ICs, an additional, non-verbal means of communication with their team. The PSS AirBoss Connect can be equipped with a built-in radio for data transmission – connecting each wearer to the Dräger FireGround. To find more detailed information about our automatic accountability system, please see our separate Dräger FireGround brochure or the infographic below.
Data logging The PSS AirBoss PASS devices are equipped with a data logger that automatically logs alerts, air pressure, battery status and other vital information. Furthermore, this data as well as the entry control officer's notes and other information are logged in the Dräger FireGround. This multi-stage data logging makes it simple for you to record and access post incident reviews in all circumstances.
Bluetooth capability Driven by forward-thinking technology, we have engineered the PSS AirBoss Connect with a Bluetooth interface, in order to ensure that the foundations are set for future compatibility to upcoming Dräger innovations.
Easy to clean The PSS AirBoss uses low-absorbent and liquid repellent harness materials which take on less contaminants. Its overall streamlined design minimises dirt traps – making the SCBA extremely easy to clean. Furthermore, the complete SCBA is machine washable, and the Dräger cleaning process is backed up by Dräger’s warranty. For you it means a significant decrease in equipment downtime.
Simplified processes All key components are equipped with RFID tags to help the workshop technician maintain asset management and support quick turnarounds. The key components of the PSS AirBoss are quickly and easily disassembled for service without the need to use tools thanks to its Plug & Play design. To save you time prior to operations, PSS AirBoss Connect includes a new electronic high-pressure leak test that ensures operational readiness and reduces air consumption during daily checks.
Flexible battery logistics Depending on the type of PASS device you choose to add, the PSS AirBoss is powered by primary power cells or rechargeable batteries. In stand-alone operation, the primary power cells have a one-year lifetime and should be exchanged with every annual SCBA test. When the SCBA is used with telemetry, Dräger recommends using rechargeable batteries. The rechargeable batteries can be charged while the SCBA is mounted inside the fire engine or separately in a desk-top charger.
