The new filter converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide with greatly reduced breathing resistance. This feature extends the normal protection period by simply replacing a used filter with a new, unused filter unit. This is a specialized variant that addresses the aviation market. It replaces the existing standard oxygen mask found on today's passenger planes which cannot filter toxic fumes produced by an onboard fire. DIX-EVAC hooks up to the existing oxygen supply system and fits into the standard overhead deployment bins.
Minimum retrofit is required.
In the event of a fire emergency, oxygen is provided in the normal manner. The unit is provided with a quick release coupling which detaches the unit from the oxygen supply thus allowing the passengers to move within the cabin or to escape quickly and unhindered once on the ground.
