| Title | |
| Description | The inspectors identified a discrepancy between the SCBA configuration and the Operating and Instruction Manual. Specifically, the licensee procedure for maintaining the respiratory equipment did not specify the authorized battery and the licensee used batteries other than those specified in the Operating and Instruction Manual. The licensee used MSA MMR Air Mask with Firehawk Regulator SCBA units. This model is National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved and includes a heads up display to inform the user of the amount of air remaining in the tank through a series of light emitting diodes and is powered by a series of batteries. The Operating and Instruction Manual includes the NIOSH approval for the equipment as well as the cautions and limitations for that approval. Item N states that Never substitute, modify, add, or omit parts. Use only exact replacement parts in the configuration as specified by the manufacturer. The manufacturer includes a caution to [U]se only Duracell NEDA 24A or Eveready NEDA 24AC AAA alkaline batteries. Use of other batteries will void the Intrinsic Safety approval. Additionally, the heads up display units were labeled with a similar message; however, the batteries listed were different. Consequently there was another discrepancy between the SCBA Operating and Instruction Manual and the manufacturer labeling on the equipment. The inspectors identified that Rayovac batteries, not listed in the Operating and Instruction Manual or the labels, were used in the SCBA units. The licensee was attempting to obtain clarification from the manufacturer for the correct batteries and impact of using other batteries. The issue remains under review by the NRC and is categorized as an Unresolved Item pending completion of that revised evaluation and NRC review (URI 05000461/2011003-04, NIOSH Approval of SCBAs). |
