The manufacturers of the rescue equipment listed above recommend replacing the inner container. The replacement is not a mandatory measure, but an urgent recommendation. This improves the opening safety of the rescue equipment. However, the rescue equipment retains its operational capability even with the existing inner containers. The new inner containers are available from the manufacturers at a cost.
