When there is a suspicion of contaminants in the air, tear open the vacuum pack and remove MUSKI™ and the rubber bands.

Temporarily place the rubber bands around the wrist; unfold the plastic bag, and pull it over the head with the filter facing front-wards over the face area. The bottom edge of the bag should reach the neck.

Stretch one rubber band, and pass it over the head and the bag to reach the neck.
The rubber band should fit over the bag at the neck and seal all openings around the neck. Check that all hair is inside the mask. To prevent choking, ensure that the rubber bands are not too tight around the neck.

Adjust the filters so that the round exhalation filter in the center of the rectangular filter, is placed opposite the mouth to assist in exhalation of stale air from within the mask.
Ensure that the mask fits correctly and comfortably and pass the second rubber band over the head, to further seal off the neck area.



Leave the danger area as soon as possible & make sure that the exhalation valve remains over the mouth so that stale air is exhaled and does not remain within the mask

When you have left the danger area, remove the bag by taking hold of it with, ideally, CLEAN UNCONTAMINATED HANDS on the inside bottom edges, and pulling it upwards and over the head, thus turning the bag inside out. This will ensure that all/any contaminated areas of the bag will now be inside the bag, with clean uncontaminated surfaces facing outwards. Discard the bag and wash hands thoroughly with soap.

WARNING:
The mask/bag is vacuum packed to protect and ensure optimum efficiency of the charcoal filter layer. The efficacy of the charcoal layer diminishes when exposed to the atmosphere. When opening the bag, it should be used immediately. If the open mask is exposed for more than one day, it is no longer efficient.
It should be discarded and is not fit for use!!

Note: Expiry date on the mask.

The efficiency of MUSKI™ in an emergency, is dependent on its fit and seal at the neck, as well as the quantity and type of contamination in the air.
The efficiency of MUSKI™ against all types of contaminants cannot be pre-determined. It is therefore important to leave the danger area as quickly as possible.

MUSKI™ and its components are not fireproof. Beware of open flames or exposure to extreme heat. Heat/fire may melt or burn parts of the mask.

The mask is intended as an emergency first aid precaution only. It is not intended to replace the conventional NBC gas mask.

The use of MUSKI™ by unqualified persons (i.e. unsupervised children, the very aged, or the infirm or sick etc.), or persons suffering from respiratory illnesses or illnesses connected to the respiratory system, is dangerous and strictly forbidden.
