SABRE H2O SERIES

ELECTRONIC IMMOBILIZATION DEVICE COMPATIBILITY

Agencies using or planning to use Electronic Immobilization Devices (EID), such as Tasers, need to consider the compatibility of the EID with their defense spray. EID can only be used in conjunction with nonflammable & EID compatible defense sprays! If a subject is sprayed with a flammable/non-compatible defense spray and then is contacted with an EID, chances are very good the subject’s clothing will catch fire. This could likely cause two serious problems to occur:

1. The subject & officer could sustain serious injuries.

2. The subject could attempt to seek financial compensation for the injury.

There is a solution which will prevent the above situation from occurring, yet will also allow agencies to use their EID in conjunction with their defense spray. The solution is the SABRE H2O SERIES! The New H2O Series uses distilled water as the major inactive ingredient to establish a comprehensive product offering of nonflammable defense sprays.

CAUTION: Most manufacturers claim their aerosol projectors are nonflammable, and some may even provide independent laboratory testing to serve as further evidence. Be advised that the EPA Flame Extension Test measures flammability by firing the aerosol projector through a flame. Unfortunately, these results are not relevant for agencies using Electronic Immobilization Devices. NONFLAMMABLE DOES NOT EQUAL EID COMPATIBILITY!

The use of EID brings to light a new set of circumstances. Unlike the Flame Extension Test, with EID the concern relates to a spark coming into contact with the liquid from the aerosol projector which has already reached the skin and clothing of the subject. If the spark from an EID reaches the area covered by the flammable aerosol projector, injuries will occur. The only way to prevent this problem from occurring is via usage of a water base aerosol projector such as those available in the SABRE H2O Series.

Agencies should not assume that a defense spray is EID Compatible because a manufacturer or an independent laboratory claims that it is nonflammable. Instead, they should be absolutely certain of a product’s flammability and EID compatibility status by employing their own practical testing procedures. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT AGENCIES TEST THEIR AEROSOL PROJECTORS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR EID BEFORE ISSUING BOTH TO THEIR PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS

ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES

1. Water base sprays allow for quicker decontamination periods.

2. Though distilled water is a significant ingredient, the H2O Series will not freeze.

3. Since Nitrogen was chosen as the propellant, the H2O Series maintains effective operating pressure in extreme temperatures.
