GENTEX PIU
The GENTEX PIU is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared, clearance
number K080117, with indications for use as follows:
The GENTEX Patient Isolation Unit (PIU) is a temporary, single-use, portable
structure that is designed to fully contain and transport a patient and
prevent particulate cross-contamination between the patient, the external
environment and the caregivers. The PIU is designed to enable medical
care-giving to the patient via integrated medical bulkheads interfaced with
end-user supplied medical products and equipment. The PIU is intended
to be used as a means to temporarily isolate a contaminated patient,
outside or within patient care facilities. The PIU can also be used to
transport those patients within vehicles, including aircraft, via a North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO-type) or similar litter/gurney.
Features:
Envelope - Water-repellent Nomex IIIA produced to MIL-C-83429B specifications, spray rating of 100 (AATCC Test Method 22), and inherent flame resistance properties.
Base - Urethane coated Nylon, 1000 denier yarns used for durability. Treated with a flame resistant coating. Antistatic finish is applied to prevent static build
up and discharge caused by sliding the litter on various materials.
Window Material - Optically clear Surlyn Thermoplastic, provides ideal flexibility and rigidity for system
Filtration Fabric - Charged non-woven, composed of proprietary fibers with electrostatic charge. Attracts and retains pathogens (0.3 ) with an air permeability
of 26 cfm
Absorbent Pad - Absorbs 15x its weight of normal 0.9% saline and 30x its weight in water
Zipper - Metal tooth with polyurethane compatible backing
Gloves - Butyl rubber (MIL- spec)
Supporting Ribs - Black anodized aluminum per MIL-8625 Type 2 Class II
To date, both domestic agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Energy, and foreign militaries, including
the German and Norwegian Air Forces, have purchased gloves for use by their personnel.
The system protects against non-direct hazards such as chemical vapors, fumes, and airborne biological
and radiological particulate hazards. The system can be used by military personnel when the standard
issued equipment (e.g. M40, MCU-20/P, etc.) is not available or practical, or can be used by any civilian
or industrial users that require CBRN protection in either an escape, shelter-in-place, or every day use
scenario. A training system is also available, as are training DVDs and a fabric carrying case used to
man-mount/man-carry the system.
Features:
One size fits all
Weight < 1.2 lbs
Disposable, one-time use, with no repair or spare parts
Provides more than 2-hours of continuous above-the-neck protection against low-level CBRN vapor,
Aerosol, or particulate threats

Rampart Chemical Biological Defense Overgarment
GENTEX CBRN
The Rampart Chemical Biological Defense Overgarment is a two-piece system comprised of a coat and
trousers designed to be worn as a duty uniform by tactical users, including Special Weapons Assault
Teams (SWAT) and First Responders.
The overgarment system has been member tested and member approved by tactical users, such as
the National Tactical Officers Organization (NTOA). The system also meets performance requirements
similar to those required in the JSLIST program. Overall, wearers are offered protection against
chemical and biological agents in a system that is lightweight, launderable and permeable to provide
the lowest possible level of heat stress for a system of its type.
The coat features a functional hood, which interfaces with several respirators, including the MSA-Millennium,
M40, M50, M53 and MCU-2P. The coat is also specially tailored shorter than other tactical garments,
preventing interference with the wearers utility belt. The waistband and wrists feature Velcro tabs
for further fitting adjustments. Zippered pockets on the front chest area offer access and storage of
essential tactical gear and accessories. The coat is first secured closed with a nylon zipper and then
a Velcro overflap.
The trousers feature a high bib-style waist, extra-wide, adjustable suspenders and zipper closures at
the leg bottoms. Flapped pockets are featured at both hips for additional tactical gear and accessories.
The coat and trousers both feature additional fabric layers at the greater wear areas - elbows and
ankles.
