Our Swedish client, Interspiro AB, asked us to introduce its “computerized” breathing apparatus to America and the world. The regional managers from each international region traveled to Indianapolis exhibition where a special ceremony choreographed by MMS took place.
SCBA or “self contained breathing apparatus” is as essential to firefighters as it is to divers (SCUBA). There are many hazards in fighting a fire including toxic fumes, running out of oxygen and losing consciousness.
The built-in computer in Interspiro apparatus featured a face mask LED which alerted the firefighter about his oxygen supply. The apparatus also sent a loud signal to fellow firefighters if anyone remained motionless. Finally, Spirotroniq featured a “black box” which aided investigators regarding the cause of any fatality.
