ASTM standards help you get the ideal mask for any
procedure.
Our masks go through a series of tests for protection levels
Fluid resistance
Tests penetration resistance to synthetic blood at three protection levels—80 mm Hg, 120 mm Hg and 160 mm Hg.
Differential pressure (∆P)
Gauges air flow from one side of a mask to the other, assessing breathability.
Particle filtration efficiency (PFE)
Assesses filtration ability against sub-micron particulate matter 0.1 microns in size—about the size of some viruses.
Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE)
Tests filtration ability against an aerosol containing bacteria 3.0 microns in size.
ASTM levels based on fluid resistance, filtration and breathability
ASTM Level 1
For procedures producing low amounts of fluid, spray and/or aerosols.
ASTM Level 2
For procedures producing light to moderate amounts of fluid, spray and/or aerosols.
ASTM Level 3
For procedures producing moderate to heavy amounts of fluid, spray and/or aerosols.
Materials matter—they are made for comfort and protection
Cellulose
Used for inner and outer facings.
Spunbondpolypropylene
Used for inner and outer facings and for an extra layer of protection.
Thermalbond polypropylene
Used for inner facings.
Meltblown middle layer
Acts as the primary filtration system for the mask.
Choose the right mask for every procedure
Different procedures require different levels of protection, and ASTM standards make it easy for your staff to get the ideal face mask for any procedure-and for every preference.
