Hints & Tips on Fit Testing the Medicom SafeMask Architect Pro™Respirator
The following tips will help ensure the most accurate results when performing fit testing of the Medicom SafeMask Architect Pro™ respirator using either the qualitative or quantitative (Portacount) testing method.
In addition to the usual steps for testing – the wearer must be clean shaven, must not have eaten or smoked recently – he or she must closely follow the specified donning instructions, paying particular attention to ensuring that the Portacount test the probe is fitted in the centre of the top portion of the respirator, between the nose and the chin to one side.
PRE-FITTING PREPARATION
Ensure that the nose piece is curved gently before beginning donning.
Ensure that the nose piece does NOT get pinched into a “V”.
CORRECT RESPIRATOR POSITION
Ensure that the respirator is located just below the chin, approximately 1 cm behind the jawbone, and NOT all the way back to the throat.
Ensure that there is plenty of space at the front of the respirator so that when in place, it is not near the lips.
Ensure that the top strap sits high on the head and, when possible, the lower strap is below the ears.
SEALING THE RESPIRATOR
Once the respirator is correctly positioned, the key areas for fitting are the nose piece and across the cheeks.
Using two fingers on either side of the nose, working away from the nose and across the cheek bones, push firmly every 2mm, moulding the respirator to the cheeks.
Ensure that the nose piece does not create a “V” shape.
The wearer should press firmly along the top of the respirator to ensure a secure fit.
With the Portacount test the probe should be fitted in the centre of the top portion of the respirator between the nose and the chin to one side.
The Medicom SafeMask Architect Pro™ respirator is extremely comfortable and breathable. It is designed to be worn for up to one continuous work session of 8 hours. Please see our videos for donning, doffing and fit testing instructions towards the bottom of this page.
