 Danbury,
Conn. – Smiths Detection, part of the global technology business Smiths Group, has
launched a new portable chemical identifier specially designed for diverse
field operations requiring quick and easy identification of unknown solids or
liquids. The HazMatID Ranger is based on the company’s market-leading HazMatID,
a field-based solid and liquid identifier used by military and civil responders
around the world.
Designed
for handheld, backpack or robot-portability and ease of use in protective gear,
the HazMatID Ranger is capable of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis by
simply touching the diamond sensor tip to a sample. In seconds, the light-weight system provides responders with both
spectral results and a list of probable substances to help identify chemicals,
as well as the actual components in mixtures.
The
HazMatID Ranger library allows responders to identify more than 32,000
suspicious white powders, WMDs, explosives, common and toxic chemicals. The
system is also supported by ReachBack™ 24/7/365 technical assistance to aid
responders with spectral interpretation in the field. For more details, visit www.smithsdetection.com .

Pittsburgh, PA – The
new Draeger PSS 7000 SCBA
has received NFPA 1981 and 1982, 2007 approvals. The device is approved to meet
and exceed NFPA’s new standard for water submersion, tumble test, heat and cold
testing. It achieves the highest requirements in the market.
The
Draeger PSS 7000 features a smart fully integrated electronic
fire fighter monitoring system called
Sentinel 7000, which is approved to the 1982, 2007 standard and includes a PASS
device providing both audible and visual alarms to the fire fighter. It
displays and records all vital information from the PASS device as well as from
the SCBA providing real-time information regarding air supply and consumption.
Draegar’s
new communication system fits into the Draeger FPS 7000 mask, which sets new
industry standards for face fit and comfort. The mask comes in three distinctive sizes to perfectly fit the
contour of the face and provides excellent sealing between the mask and face.
It also has a fully integrated voice amplifier and radio
interface system. The twin speakers provide exceptional voice clarity with a
surround sound output. The Draeger FPS communication system has an extremely
low profile as it was designed and built to fit into the actual face mask.
For
the first time Draeger introduces the TST technology to the industry (Titanium
Sound Technology). This new technology which has a resistance to high
temperature environments is incorporated into the Draeger PASS alarm sounders providing a loud 95 dba plus warning
output to alert other fire fighters in the area. Visit www.draeger.ca f or

The HammerHead search flashlight
the ideal companion for fire and arson investigators. The simple tap of a
switch allows the user to change from one strong CREE XR-E White LED to 12 UV LEDs. The white LED alone supplies up to
160 lumens of light.
The UV mode of the light
is used in conjunction with a pair of orange goggles. Together,
petroleum-based accelerants will fluoresce, making it easier for fire
investigators to identify the culprit.
The Hammerhead is
lightweight and sleek with a powerful beam, allowing the user to keep
a comfortable amount of distance between themselves and the speculative
substances under investigation.
Three CR123 batteries
provide up to eight hours of life. The Hammerhead is made of aluminum, and
is waterproof and fire resistant. It retails for about
US$294.99.
