N99 Mask |
|
What makes the N99 ViraMask the most revolutionary advancement in filtering face piece respirators? • The FITSEAL™ respirator is the first and only adhesion filtering facepiece respirator approved by NIOSH under 42 CFR part 84, that meets the additional test requirements for new technology as part of latest respirator certification. • FITSEAL™ adhesion technology forms a molecular barrier seal between the respirator and the N99 Dust Mask (the face-seal) minimizing the problems of hazardous inward leakage between the respirator and the face common to conventional designs that are held in place by straps or rubber bands. • FITSEAL™ advanced filtration media offers extremely high filtration efficiency against airborne viruses and bacteria and provides extremely low breathing resistance. “Face-seal leakage is the weak link that limits a respirator’s protection ability” Reference: Mortality Week Report, December 30, 2005/54 (RR17); 1-141, entitled “Guidelines for preventing the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in health-care settings, 2005”, Section: Effectiveness of Respiratory-Protection Devices: Face-seal leakage. “Respirators that don’t seal properly around the face offer only the illusion of protection.” Reference: OSHA Technical Manual, Section VIII Understanding these types of N99 Masks requires knowledge of Total Inward Leakage (TIL). It’s the measurement of all possible routes of infectious particle penetration which include: through the filter medium, through an exhalation valve and gaps between the respirator and the face (the face-seal). |
