Emergency Respiratory Unit - ERU
The ERU is a lung powered scrubber which ensures the scrubbing of the carbon dioxide (CO2) contained in the gases breathed by personnel in a confined environment in the event of breakdown in the normal ventilation or regeneration system.
This equipment has been specially designed to increase the safety inside diving bells, decompression or saturation chambers, hyperbaric welding and undersea habitats, as well as observation and work submersibles.

The unit is equipped with a corrugated breathing hose and an oral-nasal mask fitted with valves to ensure the correct circulation of the gas. It is delivered in an red/orange, splash proof, protective bag fitted with a carrying strap.
