Stat-X First Responder Aerosol Fire Suppression

Description

The Stat-X First Responder is a handheld emergency fire suppression tool (FST) designed for quick deployment in small, early-stage fires within closed spaces. The compact size of the Stat-X First Responder makes it easily portable for emergency situations. In the event of a fire, activation is straightforward: remove the safety clip, pull the ring pin, and throw the unit directly at or near the fire. It actuates after a 3.5 second delay, releasing an ultra-fine, potassium-based aerosol.

This aerosol provides rapid fire suppression by interfering with the flame’s free radicals without reducing oxygen levels. Stat-X is significantly more effective on an agent weight basis than other alternatives. The aerosol remains suspended after discharge, offering continued fire suppression to prevent re-ignition.

The Stat-X Fire Responder is truly a new innovation in fire suppression technology. There is no other like it on the market today. It will not replace anything you are currently using, but it could be a wonderful addition to your arsenal tools. 

Coverage will be depended on the specific characteristics of the situation encountered – class of fire, level of involvement, areas of potential leakage, etc. Tests have shown significant suppression effects up to an 8 ft high x 10 ft x 10 ft room – around (20) cubic meters. More units would be required for a larger volume or spaces with excessive leakage. The aerosol flows and spreads rapidly throughout the volume, in a manner similar to gas. However, since the aerosol is buoyant, more may be required in a high ceiling situation. The Stat-X Fire responder is most effective when thrown directly at or near the fire.

KEY FEATURES

• Highly effective based on required density
• Offers adaptable design especially when space and weight are critical
• No piping required, resulting in significant savings on parts and labor
• Ideal for harsh environments and remote locations
• Service life of TEN (10) YEARS
• Ny cylinder weighing requirement or leakage risks
• Regulatory certainty. No risk of future regulations interrupting supply
• Environmentally friendly: zero potential for global warming or ozone depletion

SPECIFCATIONS

Container: The unit housing is constructed of metal and incorporates insulating/cooling material. The discharge ports for agent release are located around the circumference of the housing. The housing shall accept a M228 initiator and shall be non-pressurized prior to system activation.

Initiator: The initiator complies with MIL specification DTL9235210 (modified for output charge) and is subject to 100% reliability testing by means of x-ray.

Safety. Units incorporate dual safety devices — a crimped safety pin requiring a twist motion prior to pulling the safety pin by means of a ring attachment. The initiator shall incorporate a minimum five second delay timer prior to activation.

Aerosol Agent: Aerosol generated is potassium based and manufacturer shall provide fifteen (15) minute time weighted average data from an independent United States laboratory demonstrating that the aerosol does not produce (at normal design concentrations) harmful levels of CO, CO2, and NOx based on NIOSH standards. Agent has no ozone depletion potential and no global warming potential. Agent is approved for commercial sale by the US EPA.
