The facepiece includes an interface to which the regulator is removably attachable, at least one seal system to form a sealing engagement with the face of a user to encompass the nose and mouth of a wearer, an inhalation port in fluid connection with the regulator interface and in fluid connection with the interior of the facepiece, at least one inhalation check valve in fluid connection between the inhalation port and the interior of the facepiece; an exhalation port in fluid connection with the facepiece; an exhalation check valve in fluid connection with the exhalation port; and an ambient port separate from the inhalation port and from the exhalation port. The ambient port is in fluid connection with the interior of the facepiece without an intervening check valve. The ambient port is in fluid connection with the interface such that the regulator seals the ambient port from fluid connection with the outlet of the regulator upon connection of the regulator to the regulator interface. The inhalation port and the ambient port can, for example, be formed in the interface.

In general, the present invention provides an electrochemical sensor for the detection of an analyte comprising a first metallic housing member and a second metallic housing member. The first metallic housing member and the second metallic housing member are brought together in sealed connection to create a sealed enclosure therebetween. Contained within the enclosure are a first electrode, at which the analyte reacts, and a second electrode, at which a reaction complimentary to the reaction of the analyte at the first electrode takes place. An acidic electrolyte is also contained within the enclosure of the first metallic housing member and the second metallic housing member.

Abstract: A method of testing a system (100) having at least one electrochemical gas sensor (100), such as an amperometric gas sensor, for detecting an analyte gas within a housing (102) of the system (100), the housing (102) having an inlet (104), the at least one electrochemical gas sensor (110) including an electrically active working electrode (150a) in fluid connection with the inlet (104) of the system (100), the method including biasing the electrically active working electrode (150a) at a first potential, to detect the analyte gas and biasing the electrically active working electrode (150a) at a second potential, different from the first potential, such that the at least one electrochemical gas sensor (110) is sensitive to a driving force created in the vicinity of the inlet (104) to test at least one transport path of the system (100). The method may further include creating the driving force in the vicinity of the inlet (104) of the housing (102) of the system (100) and measuring a response of the electrically active working electrode (150a) to the driving force. Said system (100) is therefore suitable for checking the performance of the electrochemical gas sensor (1), particularly to check that gas transport inside the system (100) is not prevented by diffusion blockage. The electrochemical gas sensor (110) is interrogated at bias voltages sensitive to different gas analytes, one being a target gas (e.g H2S) while the other being provided by, for instance, exhaled breath (e.g. C02).
