Protection for those that need it most

Nothing is more important than the health and welfare of our children. Yet, there has been no protection available for them in the event of a fire, major natural disaster, nuclear event, or terrorist attack … until now.

Our MD-1^® Gas Mask for kids is one of the only reusable CBRN full face respirator designed with the special needs of children in mind.

Unlike expensive, single-use alternatives, the MD-1^® Kids Gas Mask uses the same 40 mm NATO filters as most adult gas masks mask, allowing you to rely on a single supply of canisters (like our cutting-edge technology MIRA Safety® canister filters that feature an extended 20-year shelf life) to maximize the odds of survival in the event of a disaster. It’s also compatible with accessories like our PAPR (Powered Air-Purifying Respirator).

Originally designed as a child respirator to meet strict protective standards for the government of Yugoslavia, we’ve adapted and improved on this rugged design to bring it into the twenty-first century, with an enhanced head harness, updated materials, and compatibility with 40 mm NATO threaded filters.

Proper respiratory protection is especially vital for young children, as they are still growing. They are far more susceptible to airborne contaminants and respiratory damage, which could cause a lifetime of adverse health effects. This is especially true of radioactive contaminants, which can dangerously increase the risk of cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Because of its smaller size, this gas mask for kids weighs far less than an adult gas mask, with optimized airflow for easier breathing and reduced fatigue. Using the filter hose attachment (included), it weighs approximately 18 ounces.

MD-1^® Kids Gas Mask Storage

Standard MD-1^® Gas Mask for Kids must be stored in a dark, cool, dust-free environment that is ventilated regularly and free from sudden temperature changes. Temperatures may vary between 5°C and 25°C with relative humidity up to 60%. The stored products should not be exposed to radiant heat or sunshine. Fuels, solvents, lubricants, and other inflammable substances must not be stored with the gas masks.

Do not store with or near any electrical machines or appliances that produce electric sparks or discharges during operation (ozone creation).

Avoid deformation of the rubber parts of the facepiece and internal mask when storing the gas masks. Inspect gas masks regularly to ensure they effectively seal to the user's face, as needed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to breathing resistance on all negative pressure gas masks, a “balloon” test is recommended to ensure that a mask can be safely used during an emergency. A standard negative-pressure gas mask should only be used by children that can blow up a balloon with their own lung power.

Even if your child passes the balloon test, we highly recommend using a Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) with the MD-1^® Children’s Gas Mask to reduce fatigue. PAPRs use a powered fan unit to improve airflow and create positive pressure for added protection from airborne contaminants. MIRA Safety^®’s PAPR unit is flexible and can be used with any of our 40 mm NATO standard gas masks.

Please note that gas mask filters and accessories are sold separately.
