Introduction
The Dräger Panorama Nova P facepiece conforms to the requirements of
European Standards EN136 and EN137-10 and is designed for use with approved
and certified compressed air breathing equipment and airline breathing systems.
The facepiece is marked with the CE symbol.
Front port assembly with integral exhalation valve and plug-in port connection
for a push-in type positive pressure lung demand valve.
Other facepieces are available with either M45 (positive pressure - screw in) or
M40 (normal demand - screw in) front port assemblies.
Front port assembly with integral exhalation valve. The plug-in port is sealed off
with a blanking piece. Fitted as standard is a plug-in side port connection for a
push-in type positive pressure lung demand valve.
Using the most up to date materials and advanced component design these
facepieces provide the wearer with greater performance, comfort and ease of
use.

Product Description
The main component parts of the Panorama Nova P full face facepiece is as
follows:
or
The integral double reflex sealing lips, around the facepiece rubber, follow the
facial contours of the wearer maintaining a twofold safety feature to the
faceseal.
A grooved moulded bead around the front of the facepiece rubber ensures a
positive location for the full vision visor. The opening for the front port assembly
has a moulded flange for location of the clamping ring.
The side port facepiece also incorporates a moulded flange around the side
port for location of the clamping ring.
Head Harness
The Neoprene head harness provides a safe and comfortable means of securing
the facepiece to the wearer.
Five straps with adjustable buckles radiate from a central plate which positions
at the back of the head. One strap locates centrally over the head and connects
to the top of the facepiece. The remaining straps radiate either side of the
head, one pair located at eye level (top straps) and the second pair at cheek
level (lower straps).
Visor
The shape of the visor allows an undistorted 180 degree field of vision. A
Polycarbonate visor is fitted as standard and provides excellent impact and
heat resistant properties. A grooved moulded bead around the front of the
facepiece moulding provides positive location for the visor which is secured in
position by two clamp frame halves and screws. Visors are easily replaceable.
Acrylic, or Laminated Glass (Triplex) visors are also available for purchase as
optional extras.
Located inside the facepiece, the orinasal mask locates into a groove around
the speech diaphragm retaining ring in the front port assembly. Two matched
inhalation valve assemblies are fitted either side of the mask close to the nasal
contact cavity. Each inhalation valve assembly consists of a moulded valve
seat and flexible rubber valve disc.
! Speech diaphragm.
! Exhalation valve disc.
! Exhalation valve spring
! Exhalation valve spring holder.
! Exhalation valve cover.
! Locking mechanism for plug-in connector of demand valve. (Inhalation port.)
A locking ring secures the complete housing assembly to the rubber facepiece.
The front port locking mechanism incorporates a ‘U’ shaped spring that locates
into a groove in the demand valve male connector boss to secure the demand
valve into the port. Pressing a ‘push button’ on the top of the port retracts the
spring allowing the demand valve to be removed.
! Speech diaphragm.
! Exhalation valve disc.
! Exhalation valve spring and spring holder assembly.
! Exhalation valve cover.
! Blanking piece. (Inhalation port.)
A locking ring secures the complete housing assembly to the rubber facepiece.
The front inhalation port is sealed off with a plug-in blanking piece.
Supplied as optional extras are screw-in connectors for fitting to the facepiece
to accommodate screw-in demand valves.
Neck Strap
Attached to either side of the facepiece, the neck strap incorporates a hanging
clip allowing the wearer to carry the facepiece on the front of the chest in the
ready for use position.
Operating Principle
The illustrations used to describe the operating principle show the PA90 Series
lung demand valve.
On opening compressed air cylinder valve medium pressure air (6bar to 9bar)
flows from the reducer through a hose and into the main bore of balanced
piston block of the lung demand valve.
Increasing air pressure moves the demand valve piston axially, forcing the piston
cone against the O-Ring located in the balanced piston block - resulting in air
flow being sealed ‘OFF’ from lung demand valve outlet.
After putting on the facepiece, with the demand valve fitted, and when the
wearer inhales a negative pressure is created inside the facepiece and lung
demand valve. Due to the negative pressure and the ambient air pressure
acting against the diaphragm and hinged balanced piston lever, the positive
pressure ‘OFF’ mechanism is released. Increasing deflection of the diaphragm
pivots the balanced piston lever forcing it against the piston end cap, moving
the piston axially and lifting the piston cone from its seating. This releases medium
pressure air from the lung demand valve into the wearer’s facepiece. The air
flows into the main cavity of the facepiece and across the inside of the visor
providing a demisting function. Air then flows from the main facepiece cavity
and through the two inhalation valve discs of the orinasal mask, to the wearer.
When the wearer stops inhaling the balanced pressure inside the facepiece is
between 5mmwg to 45mmwg (0.5mbar to 4.5mbar). When the wearer begins
to exhale the facepiece cavity pressure increases closing the orinasal inhalation
valves and lifting the preset spring loaded exhalation valve disc from its sealing
seat allowing the exhaled air to exhaust to atmosphere. Following exhalation
the spring loaded exhalation valve disc closes onto the sealing seat.
Air pressure in the bore of the piston block increases during exhalation, moving
the piston axially and retracting the pivot lever and diaphragm. Two tension
springs, attached to the hinged lever of the demand valve, act on the hinged
lever maintaining positive pressure inside the facepiece during the complete
breathing cycle. This cycle repeats as the wearer begins to inhale.

Special Note: Silicone material adsorbs cleaning and disinfecting agents. Adsorption
increases with each cleaning procedure. Following the use, and long term
effects of the use of such agents, some skin irritation may occur on contact.
When cleaning and disinfecting silicone facepieces observe the following:
! Do Not use cleaning or disinfecting agents containing
phenolderivatives, aldehydes or iodine.
! Only use agents that confirm, in writing, that “daily use over a period
of months does not cause any irritation of the skin”.
! Strictly comply with minimum concentration and reaction times quoted
in instructions for use supplied with cleaning and disinfecting agents.
! Carry out rinsing in clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes.
