Technical Note: 008 ChemPro100i Libraries V8m – grey v16d

answers while broad band questions (like is there a toxic chemical here) get a more generic answer. To increase specificity chemicals of interest are put into lists (“Libraries”) that are use specific. For example, clues (physical, biological, etc.) at the scene will lead responders to draw conclusions about the type of threat and then the responder can choose the correct library. If the responder reinterprets the on-scene clues the selected library in the ChemPro100i can be changed “on-the-fly.” In unknown environments it is not recommended to arbitrarily flip between libraries to “see what it could be” because libraries are use specific and applying a library in an improper situation may not give conclusive results.

Changing libraries on-the-fly The “First Responder, TIC Classifier” and “TIC Confirm” libraries are designed to be used together. They share one common database and thus when moving from one The Library name and version number is shown on the library to another, the alarm from the previous main screen of the ChemPro100i library might stay on if the alarm criteria of the next is not met. Changing libraries are recommended only from What is a Library? 1. First Responder to The ChemPro100i is a multi-sensor TIC (Toxic 2. TIC Classifier to Industrial Chemical) and CWA (Chemical 3. TIC Confirm, not vice versa. Warfare Agent) classifier. It uses fuzzy logic to In truly unknown environments these first compare what the device is seeing from its three libraries should always be followed by: multiple sensors to saved “patterns” that result 4. CWA Sensitive to from the device being tested with the actual 5. Irritant chemicals using both laboratory and real world Changing CWA libraries should always take exposure test scenarios. This laboratory and place from less sensitive to more sensitive real world test data is used to create a library (from CWA-Standard to CWA- detection library. Sensitive and CWA High Sensitive). Why Use Libraries? What’s New in the V8L – grey v16d While the ChemPro100i can detect a wide Library Set variety of Agents (CWAs) Now when in the “GasLib” selection menu the and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) if all of name of the library set “V8L-grey v16d” these chemicals were to be put in one list it appears at the top of the screen so that one could lead to an unsatisfactory number of false can know what library set they have. The alarms. Another way of putting this is that new “TIC Auto-Classifier-ID” library replaces specificity of the ChemPro100i improves when most of the capabilities of the “First the number of questions asked of it is Responder”, “TIC-Classifier” and “TIC- decreased.

Use of the “Trend” screen will help to identify the presence of a chemical or mixture of chemicals even if they are not classified by the software in the ChemPro100i. To ensure an additional margin of safety, a generic “Chemical Detected” alarm has been added to selected libraries at the ChemPro family of products. This “Chemical Detected” alarm is usually triggered when one of the following conditions is identified:  An individual chemical is detected which is not in the current library selected  Environmental conditions are encountered that are not in the current library selected  A chemical mixture is encountered Special Considerations Regarding “Chemical Detected” Alarm: The “Chemical Detected” Alarm is used to minimize false negative alarms. However, there is still a risk of false negative alarms (i.e. no alarm, although the specified chemical is present) in the following two scenarios: (1) The ChemPro100i may fail to alarm if it is turned on in a contaminated area. NEVER turn the ChemPro100i on in a contaminated environment. (2) The ChemPro100i may fail to alarm if the rate of concentration change as a function

Library purpose: The “First Responder” library offers a broad list of TICs and should be used as the primary first-in library to alert a responder that a potential toxic threat for these chemicals may exist. This library represents most, but not all, chemicals found on the ITF-25 (International Task Force #25) list. The “TIC Classifier” or “TIC-Confirm” libraries may be used subsequently to further classify and confirm the identity of an unknown chemical. The “First Responder” library shares a common database with the “TIC Classifier” library so it may be possible to have a “TIC Classifier” alarm come up when using the “First Responder” library. Even though one is not using the “TIC Classifier” library, this alarm should be considered valid.

(1) Due to varying molecular weights the ppm values vary Library purpose: This library is designed for use as the PRIMARY library for military or first responders when circumstances indicate that a CWA attack has taken place or could potentially take place. Alarm levels are set to military action levels. Library meanings:  Nerve: The ChemPro100i will display “Nerve” and the gasmask icon to indicate that operators should “mask-up” because there is a such as Sarin (GB), Tabun (GA), Soman (GD), Cyclosarin (GF), VX (including degraded VX and Russian VX), nerve agent precursors or organophosphate (OP) based pesticides in the air being sampled.  Blister: The ChemPro100i will display “Blister” and the gasmask icon to indicate that operators should “mask-up” because there is a such as Sulfur mustard (HD), Lewisite (L), Nitrogen mustard (HN3) or some vesicant precursors in the air being sampled.  Blood: The ChemPro100i will display “Blood” and the gasmask icon to indicate that operators should “mask-up” because there is a such as Hydrogen cyanide (AC) or Cyanogen chloride (CK) in the air being sampled.  TIC: The ChemPro100i will display “TIC” and the skull & crossbones icon to indicate that operators should “mask-up” because there is a Toxic Industrial Chemical such as Chlorine (CL2) or Ammonia (NH3) in the air being sampled.  Chemical Detected: The ChemPro100i will display “Chemical Detected” and an “X” icon to tell operators that the chemical(s) being sampled by the ChemPro100i does not match the alarm patterns in this library. An unknown chemical(s) is present at such a level that it could represent a hazard to the user and the situation should be evaluated appropriately. Note:  When sniffing pesticides directly from a bottle of pesticide the ChemPro100i may give a “Chemical Detected” alarm because even concentrated pesticides are often over 90% solvents which may initially mask the pesticide signal. However, after the solvents evaporate the pesticides will be left behind to provide a strong “Nerve” signal.

Saturated vapor of capsaicin can also be detected. Library purpose: This library is designed to help first responders identify the presence of irritant chemicals such as pepper spray, mace and tear gas. Library meanings:  Irritant: Th e ChemPro100i will display “Irritant” and the “X” icon to indicate the presence of irritant compounds.  Chemical Detected: The ChemPro100i will display “Chemical Detected” and an “X” icon to tell operators that the chemical(s) being sampled by the ChemPro100i does not match the alarm patterns in this library. An unknown chemical(s) is present at such a level that it could represent a hazard to the user and the situation should be evaluated appropriately. Note:  Irritants are typically packaged with solvents which will dominate the signal when initially released, but after they quickly evaporate the irritant signal will be found  Irritants are solids at standard conditions so when sniffing for irritants always look first at the hard, horizontal surfaces where they could precipitate after the solvents evaporate

Library meanings:  Chemical Detected: The ChemPro100i will display “Chemical Detected” and an “X” icon to tell operators that the chemical(s) being sampled by the ChemPro100i does not match the alarm patterns in this library. An unknown chemical(s) is present at such a level that it could represent a hazard to the user and the situation should be evaluated appropriately.

Library purpose: This library is designed to help CWA counter proliferation officials and law enforcement officials to identify the precursors typically used to produce nerve agents and vesicants. Library meanings  Nerve precursor: The ChemPro100i will display “Nerve Precursor” and the skull & crossbones icon to indicate that operators may be exposed to Dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP), Dimethyl phosphite, Methyl phosphonic dichloride and Pinacolyl alcohol. Concentrations of nerve agents such as GA, GB, GD, GF and VX may also trigger this alarm. Alarm indication ‘Chemical Detected’ may occur in high nerve precursor concentrations.  Vesicant precursor: The ChemPro100i will display “Nerve Precursor” and the skull & crossbones icon to indicate that operators may be exposed to Thiodiglycol. Alarm indication ‘Chemical Detected’ may also occur.  Chemical Detected: The ChemPro100i will display “Chemical Detected” and an “X” icon to tell operators that the chemical(s) being sampled by the ChemPro100i does not match the alarm patterns in this library. An unknown chemical(s) is present at such a level that it could represent a hazard to the user and the situation should be evaluated appropriately.
