DQE’s Sentry Shield line of personal protective kits protect first responders from white powdery substances that could contain fentanyl, carfentanil, or other powerful opioid-based substances. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), “Since fentanyl can be ingested orally, inhaled through the nose or mouth, or absorbed through the skin or eyes, any substance suspected to contain fentanyl should be treated with extreme caution as exposure to a small amount can lead to significant health‐related complications, respiratory depression, or death.” The Sentry Shield kits are configured based on the recommendations of the National Institutes of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) and DEA. These personal protection kits range in coverage based on the severity of exposure levels responders may encounter. Keep Sentry Shield PPE kits on hand when responding to calls for service, and arriving at a scene where there is a suspected overdose incident.
