EUROSATORY 2020 IS CANCELLED

March 27th, 2020

The sanitary situation due to Covid-19 is deteriorating daily in France and has spread throughout the world.

The conditions for preparing and running the exhibition, which would protect the health and safety of the 100,000 expected participants, visitors, exhibitors and organisers, can not be met.

Many international and French exhibitors registered for the Eurosatory trade fair scheduled from June 8 to 12, 2020 are no longer able to prepare their participation and configure or transport the necessary equipment. It also appears that the very large number of foreign visitors expected to participate in the fair can no longer plan their trip to France.

The postponement of the exhibition to a later date has been studied but the conditions for success can not be met.

The current situation no longer makes Eurosatory possible in 2020. It is with immense disappointment that GICAT (French Land and Airland Defence and Security Association) and its subsidiary COGES are forced to cancel the fair planned for June.

All the participants and partners will be contacted in order to best manage the consequences of this cancellation.

Therefore, Eurosatory team invites you to the next edition of the exhibition that will be held from June 13 to 17, 2022.

We thank you for your understanding. We hope that you and your relatives are in good health and we spare a special thought for anyone affected.

FDA Issues New Guidance for Face Masks and Respirators During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency

March 26th, 2020

As the nation’s industry mobilizes to fill the N95 protective mask shortage, the Food and Drug Administration has issued new non-binding guidance.

Below is information extracted from the document. Be sure to read it in full.

FDA is issuing this guidance to provide a policy to help expand the availability of general use face masks for the general public and particulate filtering facepiece respirators (including N95 respirators) for health care professionals during this pandemic. Additionally, this policy is intended to remain in effect only for the duration of the public health emergency related to COVID-19 declared by the Department of Health and Human Services.

They believe the policy set forth in this guidance may help address these urgent public health concerns by clarifying the regulatory landscape of face masks and respirators, helping to expand the availability of general use face masks for use by the general public, and of filtering facepiece respirators (including N95 respirators) for use by health care professionals in healthcare settings.

They recognize that there are multiple types of face masks, those intended for medical use (N95) as well as others. When alternatives, such as FDA-cleared masks or respirators, are unavailable, individuals, including healthcare professionals, might improvise PPE. FDA does not intend to object to individuals’ distribution and use of improvised PPE when no alternatives, such as FDA-cleared masks or respirators, are available.

Wherever possible, health care facilities should continue to use FDA-cleared face masks and NIOSH-approved and/or FDA-cleared N95 respirators or better. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, FDA has also issued EUAs that authorize certain N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirators, including NIOSH-approved disposable FFRs9 and imported non-NIOSH-approved disposable FFRs10, for use in healthcare settings by healthcare personnel and are intended to help increase availability of these devices to front-line personnel during the public health emergency.

FDA requests that makers of alternative masks contact them to determine if they meet Emergency Use Authorization specifications.

The information on how to submit is in the guidance. Read it here.

SOTech Builds Face Masks In Response To COVID-19 Announcement

March 26th, 2020

SOTech converted part of their sewing floor this week to build face masks for local hospitals in Los Angeles that are terribly understocked in PPE. Now that they are up to speed producing 3000 masks a day, they want to support other organizations, companies and individuals in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They designed a ripstop cotton mask with a double ply forming a pocket to hold a non-medically rated disposable filter. The pocket

can also hold some models of N-95 or surgical masks made by other manufacturers. These washable covers are reusable. We are using materials common to SOTECH’s inventory – camouflage, olive and khaki tan ripstop and sheer cotton cloth. All masks include a metal nose contour piece sewn in and elastic ear loops that are one-size fits all. This elastic may or may not contain Laytex. Product is sold in mass quantities or three-packs encouraging users to wash and dry masks between uses rotating them and changing filter inserts each time.

Download pdf here.

Per FDA Guidelines: Face masks may be used when FDA cleared masks are unavailable. It is recommended against use in a surgical setting or where significant exposure to liquid bodily or other hazardous fluids may be expected. Body contacting materials include cotton cloth and elastic ear loops which may contain Laytex.

This is a one-time project only for community support until industry is able to provide adequate stocks of surgical masks and N-95 masks to first responders and the community. Available while supplies last. sotechtactical.com/collections/new/products/medical-protective-mask

StatGear’s Hygiene Hand Antimicrobial Brass EDC Door Opener & Stylus Helps You Flatten The Curve

March 26th, 2020

We received this note from StatGear founder Avi Goldstein and thought his idea was worth a share.

My company StatGear was started by myself, a NY City Paramedic 10 years ago and has been focused on designing ans manufacturing survival and rescue tools for many first responders and government agencies as well as some innovative edc (everyday carry) items for outdoor enthusiasts.

Our newly launched Kickstarter campaign is to raise funds for a keychain tool to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.

The Hygiene Hand is made from Brass. It won’t stop the COVID-19 virus from surviving on the surface but studies show it’s only there for hours rather than days associated with some other materials such as steel.

Here are a some of the uses for this device. It gives you some stand-off from those surface areas that might harbor the virus.

VZ No.2 Tactical G-10 Pencils

March 26th, 2020

The VZ No.2 Tactical G-10 Pencils are a great addition to your EDC kit. They are both lightweight and look like the real thing. They’re hand made in the USA from solid G-10, making them damn near unbreakable and invisible to metal detectors. They might look like a real pencil, but don’t expect to write an essay with one. At least not in lead.
