6. POSITIVE-PRESSURE OPERATION:
Maintains breathing pressure in the facemask above external ambient pressure during both inhalation and exhalation breathing cycles.
Resists the ingress of external atmospheric toxins into the breathing gas of the BioPak.

7. CLOSED-CIRCUIT OPERATION:
Breathing gas is recycled to conserve oxygen and prolong duration.
Closed-circuit operation limits potential leak points and prevents the ingress of external atmospheric toxins.
Large tidal volume and low pressure drop throughout system results in ease of breathing.
Extended duration over open-circuit design of identical mass:
Open-Circuit Duration: 45 – 60 minutes
Closed-Circuit Duration: 240 minutes
Lower exhalation resistance as compared to open-circuit.

8. ENHANCED SAFETY-SOLID CORE CARBON DIOXIDE SCRUBBER:
