I am sure this is one of very few Mitrex users in the US. Me personally I have never run into one, and I have been active in this market for over a decade. Alternatives international suppliers, who offer similar Active EX protection systems and who actually are based in the US are available if you need them. I hope things work out for you.

Hello Rick,

I do not think that Mitrex is actively selling their products in the US, and if they are I doubt that their products will be NRTL approved.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
