N95 Masks - Swine Flu Mask - Bird Flu Mask

NIOSH certified N95 respirators/masks are designed to help provide respiratory protection for the wearer. The N95 respirator/mask has a filter efficiency level of 95% or greater against particulate aerosols free of oil when tested against a 0.3 micron particle. It is fluid resistant, disposable and may be worn in surgery.

The "N" means "Not resistant to oil". The "95" refers to a 95% filter efficiency.

N95 respirator/mask with an exhalation valve may be used by Health Care Workers. Patients, suspect or probable cases of SARS, Swine Flu or Avian Flu (Bird Flu) should not wear an N95 mask with exhalation valve, as this valve could disseminate the virus into the environment.

Meets CDC Guidelines for Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) Infection Control

 
NIOSH Approved N95 Particulate Respirator upholds a filtration standard universally recognized in the prevention of the inhalation of viral pathogens.

Swine Flu, Bird Flu and other Type A influenza viruses are frequently transmitted through people simply sneezing and coughing. When this occurs, large droplets of viral pathogens (droplet nuclei) are released into the air. It is therefore essential that masks worn provide fluid resistance and the proper filtration standard.

This model of mask meets these essential requirements in protecting the respiratory system.

How do I put on a N95 respirator/mask?

An occlusive fit and a clean shave for men provide the best protection for the health care worker.

Masks should be fit tested according to the manufacturer's recommendations. In addition, masks should be fit checked each time the mask is put on. To check test the mask the wearer takes a quick, forceful inspiration to determine if the mask seals tightly to the face.
