What is the purpose of the Pak-Alert feature in the SCBA?

The Pak-Alert feature in the SCBA is designed specifically to serve as an alarm for low air supply. This feature enhances the safety of the wearer by providing an audible alarm that alerts the user when their air supply is critically low, allowing for timely actions to be taken to exit the hazardous environment. Knowing when air reserves are running low is crucial for ensuring the safety and effective decision-making of firefighters in high-risk situations.

This capability ensures that users are aware and can respond proactively, thereby significantly reducing the risk of running out of air unexpectedly during an operation. In high-stress scenarios where time and air are precious, the Pak-Alert feature acts as an essential safety mechanism.
