POSITIVE-PRESSURE OPERATION:
Maintains breathing pressure in the facemask above external ambient pressure during both inhalation
and exhalation breathing cycles.
Resists the ingress of external atmospheric toxins into the breathing gas of the BioPak.
CLOSED-CIRCUIT OPERATION:
Breathing gas is recycled to conserve oxygen
and prolong duration.
Closed-circuit operation limits potential leak
points and prevents the ingress of external
atmospheric toxins.
Large tidal volume and low pressure drop
throughout system results in ease of
breathing.
Extended duration over open-circuit design
of identical mass:


Open-Circuit Duration: 45 – 60 minutes
Closed-Circuit Duration: 240 minutes
Lower exhalation resistance as compared to
open-circuit.
ENHANCED SAFETY-SOLID CORE CARBON DIOXIDE SCRUBBER:

RELIABILITY:
 Less Complicated Alarming System: Provides At-A-Glance recognition of system status
eliminating user confusion due to oversaturation of data and avoiding costly alarming
system breakdowns..
 Lower Part Count: Fewer parts yields higher reliability, fewer parts to test, disinfect and
qualify.
 Protected Breathing Chamber: Rubber diaphragm of system is protected on all sides by
hard plastic thus eliminating dangers of puncture or tearing should the upper housing
become dislodged.
 Historically Proven Pressure Regulator: The BioPak 240R pressure regulator has over
40-years experience in both CCSCBA and SCUBA applications without a demonstrated
need for factory rebuilds or calibration over its life time.
 Proven Field Support: Biomarine and its Distributor Network take pride in the post sale
service and support provided to end users through direct training, emergency support
and product support.
REDUCED MAINTENANCE-TURN AROUND:
BioPak Tear Down Parts

FUTURE BIOPAK 240R DEVELOPMENTS:
 Biomarine constantly strives to improve the BioPak 240R product based upon
inputs received from the field. End users are encouraged to suggest improvements
based their experience in actual field utilization. Technology searches are
constantly conducted by the Biomarine Research and Design teams . Once a new
technology is found to be plausible in the BioPak 240R design, the Biomarine
Engineering Group works to incorporate the new technology in a manner that will
be favorable to field retro-fit.
 Lighter and Stronger Materials
 Carbon Dioxide Capture Technologies
 Oxygen Storage Technologies
 Moisture/Fogging Management Technologies
 Ergonomic Technologies
End user input and satisfaction is the driving force
