The Dräger PSS 5000 SCBA is designed to withstand the high wear and tear that firefighters face daily –
while providing an enhanced level of comfort and functionality. Made of tough chloroprene rubber material and
Aramid-blend webbing, the PSS 5000 harness is ideally suited for extended wear and frequent use.
The flexible harness connects to a lightweight, stable back plate, while the waist belt pivots to reduce pressure
on the wearer.

Integrated systems reduce risk and increase versatility:
To minimize the risk of damage or snagging, the Dräger Sentinel 7000 electronic system and air-supply hoses
are integrated into the backplate. To further streamline and reduce snag hazards, the lung-demand valve (LDV)
– and Dräger Sentinel hoses are routed over the shoulders. Conventional waist-mounted hoses can also be
fitted to the carrying system, making the Dräger PSS 5000 one of the most versatile SCBA systems available.

Easy maintenance to lower cost of ownership
The following features keep Dräger PSS 5000 downtime and maintenance costs to a minimum:
‒ Innovative slide-and-lock mechanism for fast and easy harness assembly and disassembly
‒ Harness detaches from the backplate without the use of tools
‒ First stage reducer snap-fit connection allows pneumatics to be fitted or removed quickly and easily
‒ Hose clips push in and out to allow swift removal of hoses from the harness pads for cleaning
‒ Chemical-resistant harness and waist belt design prevent excessive water absorption and reduce cleaning
and drying time
‒ Standard AA batteries, no manufacturer-required overhaul, and few replacement parts contribute to a lower
total cost of ownership over the life of the SCBA
