PosiChek³ Calibration

The PosiChek³ is a computerized test machine designed to evaluate the performance of completely assembled Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and other types of air-supplied respiratory protective equipment. The PosiChek³ has been the industry standard for thousands of fire departments, refineries, chemical plants and nuclear power stations, worldwide since it was first introduced in 1988. The PosiChek³ incorporates a unique computer-controlled bellows apparatus that simulates breathing into and out of the mouth of a test head in the same manner that air is drawn into and out of the mouth of a human breathing apparatus wearer. The PosiChek³ is able to perform dynamic tests to determine if the breathing apparatus is functioning properly. PosiChek³ can fully evaluate the operational readiness of a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) in less than 2 minutes, and consumes less than 1% of its air supply.

The PosiChek³ must be calibrated annually to maintain the accuracy of the internal transducers and breathing rates. Each unit is inspected in great detail by a trained technician to ensure correct and accurate operation.

International Safety (IS) is the only Honeywell Analytics (formerly Biosystems) Authorized Service Centre in Canada. IS is one of only four service centres in the world outside of the United States that is authorized to perform Annual Calibrations on the PosiChek³ unit. To initiate the process of calibration, please see the form here.

IS accepts VISA, MasterCard and American Express credit cards.

The only acceptable method of shipping your PosiChek³ for calibration is in the original manufacturer-approved cardboard box with the internal foam padding that your unit originally came with.

Do NOT ship your PosiChek³ in a Pelican Case. These cases are recommended for your own transportation requirements but are not acceptable for the annual calibration services.

When returning your PosiChek³ for annual calibration, you do not need to send the head assembly, any accessories, software or tools with the PosiChek³ base unit. The only component that must be sent to us is the PosiChek³ base unit; unless you are having issues with any of the accessories that you would like our technicians to diagnose. Our technicians have all the necessary tools and attachments to successfully calibrate your unit.

Please note: if you do not send your unit as required, IS will ship your unit back to you in an approved container after calibration and charge you a $110.00 fee. You will also have to make other arrangements to get your other container (or pelican case) back at your own expense. IS will not ship your PosiChek³ inside a pelican case or any other non-approved container.

Please note if you do not ship your unit in a cardboard box you will also be billed $20.00.

If you fail to follow proper shipping instructions. IS waives all responsibility for lost, stolen or damaged PosiChek³ units.

Yes. For all Canadian Users of the PosiChek³, IS is the only Honeywell-authorized service centre for all repairs, calibration and upgrades.

Typically, IS will turn around your PosiChek³ within two to three business days from its date of receipt at IS in Newmarket for a standard calibration for a non-USB upgraded unit. In certain circumstances, at your request, we may perform a “rush” service at your request. Please indicate that you need a rush service performed in the notes section of the service work order form.
