This product meets CDC guidelines for Mycobacterium tuberculosis exposure control. As a respirator, it is intended to reduce wearer exposure to certain airborne particles in a size range of 0.1 to >10.0 microns, including those generated by electrocautery, laser surgery, and other powered medical instruments. As a surgical mask, it is designed to be fluid resistant to splash and spatter of blood and other infectious materials; when worn properly and in combination with protective eyewear, it complies with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. It also provides >99% BFE against wearer generated micro-organisms. |
Not for use with beards or other facial hair that prevents direct contact between the face and the sealing surface of the respirator. OSHA has not set a permissible exposure level for airborne biohazards.
|
Solids such as those from processing minerals, coal, iron ore, flour, and certain other substances.
Liquid or non-oil based particles from sprays that do not also emit harmful vapours. |
Gases and vapours, including those present in paint spray operations, asbestos, arsenic, cadmium, lead, 4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA) or sandblasting. Aerosol concentrations that exceed 10 times the OSHA PEL, or applicable exposure limits, whichever is lower. This respirator does not supply oxygen. |

All models in the table are NIOSH approved N95 particulate respirators and meet the same filtration test criteria per the NIOSH requirements. All models also have the same assigned protection factor. The 8210 is not FDA cleared medical devices and cannot be used in the operating room environment, nor are they fluid resistant.
If fluid resistance and use in surgery/operating room environment are important features to your facility, the 1860 Healthcare Particulate Respirators and Surgical Masks is the appropriate products to consider. If fluid resistance and use in surgery/operating room environment are not requirements for use in your facility, OSHA and the CDC allow any NIOSH N95 particulate respirator to be selected to help reduce exposure to airborne biological particles when used in the context of an effective respiratory protection program according to OSHA requirements.
