Quartz - Protective mask and hood for kids | Powered Air Purifying Respirator for Infant & Child

Combining a compact, battery-powered PAPR with a CBRN filter, this expandable hood can be deployed within seconds to provide hours of protection and easy breathing for some of the youngest members of your family.

Unlike most modern gas masks, which are primarily designed for military use, the CM-3M Children’s Escape Respirator was specifically created to meet the needs of young children and early teenagers.

✔️ Powered by 4 standard CR123A batteries, offering up to 15 hours of continuous operation

✔️ Multiple carrying options — the included back-mounted carrier is recommended for children under 4 years, while the waist/belt-mounted carrier is suggested for ages 4 and up

✔️  Blower/air pump system delivers 45 liters per minute of airflow, pressurizing the hood interior for easy breathing

✔️ Hood made of 4-layer PVC/nylon/nylon/PVC construction for maximum tear resistance (tested to ASTM D882 standards)

When it comes to gas masks for children and personal protective equipment (PPE), nothing is quite as unique, innovative, or practical as the CBRN protective hood for kids.

It’s no surprise that children have significantly lower lung capacity than the average adult due to their smaller size. For this reason, they may struggle to draw enough air through the complex filters used in standard gas masks (not to mention the difficulty of achieving a proper, comfortable fit on a child’s face with adult-sized respirators).

Even if a child is large enough to wear a full-face gas mask with relative comfort, the effort required to breathe through it can quickly become a problem. The child may tire more easily, become distracted, or worse.

Until now, there’s been very little innovation when it comes to gas masks and PPE specifically designed for children and infants.

But now, with the Quartzo CBRN Protective Hood for Children, we offer a cutting-edge protective solution for your little ones.

Instead of struggling with awkward gas masks and poorly fitted straps, this unit can simply be expanded and placed over the child’s head. Once the powered blower is activated, the mask becomes positively pressurized, ensuring that the child can breathe easily while creating a natural protective barrier to block aerosols and dangerous agents like mustard gas.

The solution is as simple as it is robust — powered by standard CR123 household batteries and using regular 40mm NATO filter cartridges.

The Quartzo Children’s Gas Mask offers exceptional protection against the most likely everyday threats. It’s easy to store and can be deployed at any moment to help secure your family quickly and efficiently.

⚠️ Please note: a gas mask/respirator filter can only protect the soft tissues it covers. For enhanced protection, we recommend combining it with full-body coverage, including butyl rubber boots, butyl rubber gloves, and adhesive tape to seal any openings.
