G1 Integrated Thermal Imaging Camera (iTic)
The integrated thermal imaging camera (iTic) allows firefighters to see within dark smoke-filled environments. With 5 user-selectable palettes and 10+ additional programmable colour palettes, the iTic is compatible with all G1 SCBA’s with a simple field upgrade.
G1 Voice Amp
Every MSA G1 SCBA is equipped with electronic voice amplification. Dual microphones integrated into the regulator eliminate background and inhalation noise, helping your commands to be heard. This unique feature automatically activates and shuts down with the unit.
Shoulder strap-mounted speaker module provides loud and clear communications from the regulator microphone while maintaining low profile to aid in reducing snag points.
MSA has introduced an industry first, SCBA to two-way radio voice communication system via Bluetooth technology.

G1 SCBA Cleaning Guide
The entire fire service industry recognizes that soiled or contaminated protective gear can expose firefighters to toxic substances, spread communicable disease, absorb heat, conduct electricity, and can be flammable. In short, clean PPE can help keep you safe.
NFPA 1851 recommends the user to evaluate PPE after each use to determine the appropriate cleaning level. This includes instructions for cleaning at the scene and an advanced cleaning at least once a year or whenever on-scene cleaning is not sufficient.
