Combining our new MD-1 gas mask for kids with an NBC-77 SOF CBRN gas mask filter and a lightweight hose-and-pouch system, our Children’s Nuclear & Pandemic Protection Kit offers all-in-one protection from a wide range of chemical, biological, and nuclear threats. In addition, the included Thyrosafe tablets provide crucial frontline protection against potential radiation exposure.
This Children’s Nuclear & Pandemic Protection Kit is designed to provide the absolute essentials for protecting the most vulnerable members of your family in the event of unexpected catastrophes or exposure.
At the core of this kit is our new MD-1 Kids Gas Mask. The most advanced, best value kids gas mask on the market today, the MD-1 is an ultra-lightweight gas mask with a wide panoramic visor and 5-point head harness.
Unlike expensive, single-use alternatives, the MD-1gas mask for kids uses the same 40 mm filters as your gas mask, allowing you to rely on a single supply of canisters (like our cutting-edge MIRA canister filters that feature an extended 20-year shelf life) to maximize the odds of survival in the event of a disaster. It’s also compatible with accessories like our Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR).
In this kit, we’ve included a MIRA Safety Gas Mask Pouch that can be used to store the kit when not in use and to hold the filter and hose when the mask is deployed. The pouch is engineered to withstand abuse without tearing. It also comes with a flexible mounting system and padding for comfort through long hours on the move.
The included ThyroSafe tablets are one of the only FDA-approved iodine tablets available in the US—making them an affordable, must-have solution for every family.
Nuclear accidents and incidents can release radiation. As you may know, radioactive iodine accumulates in the thyroid and causes serious illness or death. Taking iodine tablets blocks the absorption of radioactive iodine. That’s why these tablets are the first thing people will want and need in the event of a nuclear catastrophe, so it’s important to have them on hand ahead of time.

The MD-1 gas mask for kids must be stored in a dark, cool, dust-free environment that is well ventilated and free from sudden temperature changes. Temperatures may vary between 5°C and 25°C with relative humidity up to 60%. The stored products should not be exposed to radiant heat or sunshine. Fuels, solvents, lubricants, and other inflammable substances must not be stored with the masks.
Do not store with or near any electrical machines or appliances that produce electric sparks or discharges during operation (ozone creation).
Avoid deformation of the rubber parts of the facepiece and internal mask when storing the masks. Inspect gas masks regularly to ensure they seal effectively as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to breathing resistance on all negative pressure gas masks, a “balloon” test is recommended to ensure that a mask can be safely used during an emergency. A standard negative-pressure gas mask should only be used by children that can blow up a balloon with their own lung power.
Even if your child passes the balloon test, we highly recommend using a Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) with the MD-1 Kids Gas Mask to reduce fatigue. PAPRs use a powered fan unit to improve airflow and create positive pressure for added protection from airborne contaminants. MIRA Safety’s PAPR unit is flexible and can be used with any of our 40 mm NATO standard gas masks.
Please note that gas mask filters and accessories are sold separately. The MD-1 Kids Gas Mask may come in blue or black, depending on availability.
