It is recommended that a SCBA face piece is washed after every use. When not in use, it should be cleaned every couple of weeks.
Technically, it might be compatible. However it would be illegal in the United States to use it with anything but a Scott SCBA system. Scott SCBA systems would not have been submitted to NIOSH for approval with MSA bottles.

A Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) typically weighs around 20-30 pounds, depending on the manufacturer and model. The weight can vary based on features such as cylinder size and material.
The minimum amount of time that a SCBA face-piece must be agitated in the sanitizing solution is 30 seconds. For best results, agitate for at least one minute.
For a fiberglass wrapped SCBA cylinder it is recommended that the cylinder has a hydrostatic test every three years for any leaks or flaws. A fiberglass wrapped SCBA cylinder is also expect to have a service life of 15 years.
The short answer is yes. ALL SCBA's are required to have a PASS device as per NFPA standards.
No, they cannot. In IDLH situations supplied air respirators or SCBA's must be used.
The component of the Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) that typically has a serial number is the air cylinder. This serial number is essential for tracking the cylinder's maintenance history, inspections, and compliance with safety regulations. Other components, such as the regulator and mask, may also have serial numbers, but the air cylinder is the primary one recognized for regulatory purposes.
Atmosphere-Supplying respirators (SCBA, SAR)
The bottle should be exchanged for a fully charged cylindar.
To prevent fogging in an SCBA mask, you can apply an anti-fog solution specifically designed for the mask's lens. Additionally, ensure a proper seal on the mask to prevent warm exhaled air from infiltrating and causing condensation. Regularly cleaning the mask with a mild soap solution can also help maintain clarity.
