RESCUE Intellitech AB Unveils The New DeconWasher Pro S To Make Cleaning Of SCBAs, Face Masks And Other PPE Safer And Accessible

RESCUE Intellitech AB, the innovative Swedish manufacturer of decon washers for SCBAs, face masks and other PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), such as boots, gloves, and helmets, has announced that their recently launched DeconWasher Pro S will be available for orders on the global market as of now.

After a successful introduction on the North American market earlier in 2022 spring season, RESCUE Intellitech AB will now showcase the new machine at INTERSCHUTZ 2022, which is taking place in Hannover, Germany, starting from June 20, 2022.

DeconWasher Pro S

The DeconWasher Pro S serves as a complement to the Solo Rescue in RESCUE Intellitech AB’s line-up of decon washers.

With its compact size and single-phase power supply, it was designed to be easily installed in most fire stations around the globe, all while still being able to wash a complete set of SCBA, including face mask, in just a few minutes. It can also be used as a mask washer, in which case users would be able to wash up to four masks per wash cycle or up to 48 masks per hour.

Efficient cleaning and decontamination of PPE

Martin Valfridsson, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of RESCUE Intellitech AB, said “Efficient cleaning and decontamination of PPE is crucial, when it comes to minimizing the exposure to toxic chemicals and carcinogens among firefighters.”

He adds, “For many firefighters, the only option for cleaning their SCBAs and other PPE, such as face masks, boots, helmets, and gloves, is to clean them by hand. This is often time consuming, but above all, it leads to dermal exposure and increases the risk of cross-contamination throughout the fire station.”

Martin Valfridsson continues, “With the new DeconWasher Pro S, we have managed to maintain the same great cleaning results we get with the Solo Rescue, despite the more convenient smaller size.”

Featuring a resistive touch screen display

The DeconWasher Pro S comes with a resistive touch screen display, which serves as the control panel. This new interface has given RESCUE Intellitech the option to incorporate some new features that are not available on the Solo Rescue.

These include an energy-saving ECOmode, wash time progress bar, wash cycle counter, automatic water changes, adjustable detergent concentrations and temperatures.

The new machine is currently equipped with accessories that enable users to wash a complete set of SCBA, including face mask, standalone air cylinders, helmets, and standalone face masks.

Solo Rescue

With the Solo Rescue, users can add boots and gloves to that list, but RESCUE Intellitech AB’s goal is to be able to add those to the DeconWasher Pro S, further down the line as well.

Martin Valfridsson further stated, “We are constantly looking to improve and develop our products to be able to offer firefighters the best solutions for reducing exposure to dangerous toxins. Listening to our customers’ experiences and input is something that plays a vital part in that process.”
