Dräger, a pioneer in the fields of medical and safety technology will be exhibiting at the Blue Light Show to showcase a wide range of technologies that support emergency responders to perform their critical roles safely and effectively.
Taking centre stage will be Dräger’s next generation Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), the PSS AirBoss. The apparatus combines best in class ergonomics and an ultra-light design for optimal firefighter comfort and uncompromising safety.
Firefighters' situational awareness
Dräger will also show how its FireGround accountability system enables teams to monitor, communicate and report incidents involving active SCBA users through its sophisticated Entry Control Board (ECB).
Another important element to Dräger’s lineup is the UCF® FireCore hands-free thermal imaging camera which improves firefighters' situational awareness by feeding live action imagery to Dräger’s FPS 7000 full face mask. The camera gives firefighters continuous vision in low-visibility, high-risk, and unfamiliar environments – this allows them to assess the situation and any potential hazards that may arise.
Emergency personnel wearing SCBA
The communication unit is simple to use, easy to retrofit on the mask, and maintenance free
The new lightweight HPS® AquaRescue helmet will be on Dräger’s stand to demonstrate how its one-size-fits-all functionality balances comfort and protection in a range of marine and technical rescue operations.
Also for the first time, Dräger’s FPS-COM Voice will be showcased to demonstrate how the mask-integrated, hands-free communication technology significantly improves voice communications. It is designed for emergency personnel wearing SCBA and full-face masks, where wearers have a reduced ability to communicate with team members. The device provides excellent voice quality by removing interfering sounds, and optimises voice capture and output. The communication unit is simple to use, easy to retrofit on the mask, and maintenance free.
Critical medical and safety technology
Dräger will also be showcasing its broad range of drug and alcohol testing equipment. The screening devices produce fast and reliable results, providing police with consistent and timely evidence to support effective and efficient testing procedures.
Elizabeth Millward, Marketing Manager for Emergency and Rescue Services at Dräger, says the lineup is an exciting opportunity to showcase the breadth of Dräger’s expertise:
“We are proud of our experience and long-standing heritage in supplying critical medical and safety technology to emergency responders. The show is a great opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to protecting, supporting, and saving lives through our designs. Ultimately, supporting our emergency services to enter a situation prepared and protected means we can help ensure they return home safely after performing their essential duties.” Drager’s stand number is N30.
