Embrace innovation with MAXAIR’s Advanced CAPR Surgical Helmet System, the most innovative protection for OR teams and patients since the introduction of Steri-Shield in 1990. Experience the future of OR PPE, available now.
Total Respiratory Protection
Source Control
CAPR SHS replaces a conventional SHS and the need for N95s and No-Fit-Backup PAPRs.
PAPR respirator seal ensures lowest level of recirculation meaning lower level of rebreathable CO2 and greater clear-headedness

Use of the Helmet Light and Peel-Away Lens negates the NIOSH approval of the PRS configuration; our internal engineering test data on file demonstrates use of either or both has no impact on any performance and safety criteria in any testing used for NIOSH approval. NIOSH submission for approval of both is planned for 2024.
Outside Toxic Air (1) is pulled by the Motor (2) in through the NIOSH Approved PAPR100-N Hood Filter (3) and cleansed with 99.99% Efficiency.
Exiting the Filter, the Clean Breathable Air (4) passes through the Motor, though the laminar air flow path (5) to the Air Diffusers (6).
The Clean Air passing through the front Air diffuses, passes gently in front of the face for effortless breathing, a head cooling effect and maintenance of a fog free lens (7). As the Clean Air becomes mixed with exhaled Air (8) it becomes contaminated with CO2 and potential viral and bacterial contaminants and is re-cleansed (Source Control) as it is swept through the Hood Back OPR Filter (9).
The Advanced CAPR Surgical Helmet System (SHS) is the innovative choice over traditional surgical helmets and standard surgical masks. This NIOSH-approved, loose-fitting Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) eliminates external air tubes and blower units, providing superior protection and exceptional comfort.
With a 99.99% filtration efficiency and an OSHA APF of 1000, the CAPR SHS meets and exceeds all NIOSH and OSHA respiratory protection standards. Its front materials are certified to ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level 4, delivering the highest level of defense against airborne, droplet, and body fluid contaminants.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that even asymptomatic individuals can spread viruses, increasing risks in the OR. Traditional surgical masks offer minimal source control, and N95 respirators often fail due to fit issues.
The CAPR SHS provides superior source control with its validated Outward Particulate Reduction Hood Back Filter, achieving 96% effectiveness. This ensures the highest level of patient protection, eliminating the need for N95 or other respirators.
To prevent interruptions during procedures due to low battery or airflow issues, reliable monitoring is essential. The CAPR SHS features an always-on Heads-Up Display (HUD) with Safety LEDs that provide real-time alerts on battery life and airflow status. This proactive system ensures that surgical sessions run smoothly and safely without unexpected disruptions.
The Advanced CAPR SHS offers superior protection, comfort, and cost-efficiency in a single, versatile system that integrates the functionality of three traditional OR systems:
Comprehensive protection for staff.
Ensures both patient source control and staff respiratory safety without Fit Testing.
Otherwise needed for source control and/or respiratory protection for staff that cannot pass N95 fit testing.
Why CAPR SHS is Safer for Both Patients and Staff
