Air-purifying respirators filter up to 95% of particulates in the air. NIOSH approved (TC-84A-0160). Cleared by FDA for use in surgical environments. Meets CDC guidelines for TB exposure control. Electrostatically charged filter media provides low breathing resistance. Staple-free straps for comfort and safety. Latex-free. This N95 mask, when worn properly, may reduce potential exposure of the wearer to blood and bodily fluids, but does not eliminate the risk of contracting disease or infection.
Directions: Fitting: Note: Before occupational use of this respirator a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all the local government requirements. In the United States employers must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 which includes medical evaluation, training and fit testing. For Use: 1. Hold respirator in hand with nosepiece at your fingertips, allowing headbands to hang freely below your hand. 2. Press respirator firmly against your face with nosepiece on the bridge of your nose. 3. Stretch and position top band high on the back of your head. Stretch bottom band over head and position it below your ears. 4. Using both hand, mold metal nosepiece to the shape of your nose. 5. To test fit, cup both hands over front of the respirator, exhaling vigorously. If air flows around your nose, tighten the nosepiece. If air leaks around the mask edges, reposition straps for a better fit. 6. Remember, careful observance of these fitting instructions is an important step in safe respirator use.
Warnings: This respirator helps keep non-harmful dusts and certain particles out of your nose, mouth and lungs. Do not use for: any toxic or harmful substance such as lead and asbestos. Misuse may adversely affect your health. This respirator mask does not supply oxygen. It will not work for gases, vapors, odors, or oil particles. Do not use in spaces where a high concentration of a toxic substance can occur. Used masks should be disposed of immediately. Never share a mask with someone else. If your mask should become wet from saliva or other respiratory fluids, please change immediately and use a new clean mask. Close fit of the mask is very important for protection from breathing in virus particles. Please follow the fit instructions. A proper fit means maximizing the mask to its fullest potential. Particles can enter though any open areas between the mask and your face. Make sure the mask fits snugly for a proper seal. Hair from beards or mustaches or anything that keeps the mask from directly touching your skin can prevent a proper seal. Masks may help reduce exposure to airborne biological contaminants, but they don't eliminate the risk of exposure to infection, illness or death. Reducing the risk of airborne virus particles does not mean that the risk of exposure, infections and illness has been eliminated. Masks will not prevent you from catching an airborne virus in other ways such as touching your mouth, nose and eyes with contaminated hands or objects. Your best protection is keeping your hands clean. Do not remove the mask when you are in an infected area. Removing the mask for any length of time significantly increases your risk of exposure. If a new mask is physically damaged in any way before wearing, do not use. Dispose of damaged mask and replace with new undamaged mask. The N-95 mask provides protection from solid and liquid particulates that do not contain oil. To be most effective, the N-95 respirator mask must be worn at all times while you are exposed to harmful dust and particles. If the respirator becomes difficult to breathe through or is damaged or wet, immediately go to a non-contaminated area and replace the mask with a new one.
