A complete Israeli powered-air option for buyers concerned about the breathing resistance of a filter-only gas mask.
This kit combines your choice of an Israeli full-face mask, a factory-sealed Israeli M80 40mm filter, the ONYX 45 powered blower, and a compatible flexible hose. Instead of relying on the wearer's inhalation alone to move air through the filter, the blower moves filtered ambient air toward the mask.
Choose the mask configuration for the intended user:
-
Adult – Israeli 4A1: Israeli 4A1 / Black Diamond full-face protective mask.
-
Kid – Israeli 10A1: Israeli 10A1 full-face protective mask.
The result is a complete powered-air configuration ready to store, practice with, and add to an emergency-preparedness plan without sourcing the mask, filter, blower, and hose separately.
Important: This is respiratory protective equipment, not an asthma treatment, medical device or oxygen source. Asthma and other breathing conditions vary greatly from person to person. Anyone with asthma, COPD, heart disease, or another condition that may affect breathing should obtain individual medical advice before use. Proper mask sizing and a reliable face seal remain essential.
Why choose powered airflow?
A standard filter-only mask uses negative pressure: each inhalation draws outside air through the filter. The ONYX 45 adds a battery-powered blower to the airflow path, reducing reliance on the wearer's inhalation alone when the system is correctly assembled and operating.
-
Powered airflow: approximately 45 liters per minute according to the listed blower specification.
-
Two mask options: choose the Adult Israeli 4A1 or Kid Israeli 10A1 configuration.
-
Complete system: mask, filter, blower, and hose supplied together.
-
Full-face protection: designed to protect the eyes and respiratory zone within the documented limits of the selected mask and filter.
-
40mm connection: compatible threaded connections connect the respiratory components.

Fit matters. Select the mask based on the intended user's size and ability to achieve a proper seal. Powered airflow does not compensate for an incorrect mask size or a poor facial seal.

Is this the right powered-air route?
This configuration may be relevant for a user who can obtain a reliable seal with the selected mask and wants a powered-air alternative to using a full-face mask with a passive filter alone.
It may be useful to consider when:
- breathing resistance is an important purchasing consideration;
- a full-face mask is preferred over a loose-fitting hood;
- the correct mask size can be selected and a reliable seal achieved; and
- the user understands the filter, battery, fit, and operating requirements.
Have a beard or cannot obtain a reliable facial seal? Powered airflow does not correct a seal problem. For users who need a loose-fitting powered-air option, compare the Israeli Sapphire CBRN PAPR Hood.

Before first use
- Select the appropriate mask option for the intended user.
- Read the available instructions for every component.
- Confirm that the filter is appropriate for the identified hazard and conditions.
- Inspect the mask, visor, valves, straps, filter, hose and blower.
- Install four fresh CR123A batteries.
- Assemble the system and verify that the blower moves air correctly.
- Practice fitting, seal checks, and removal in clean air.
- Stop use if you have breathing difficulty or other concerning symptoms, and seek appropriate medical advice.
Operating limits that matter
This kit filters and moves ambient air. It does not create or supply oxygen. Do not use an air-purifying system in an oxygen-deficient or unknown atmosphere, or outside the documented limits of its components.
Protection depends on the selected filter, correct mask sizing and fit, an intact airflow path, correct assembly, and sufficient battery power. Powered airflow does not remove the need for a proper mask seal.
