Product Description

In conclusion, such as a NIOSH-approved N*5 filtering facepiece particulate respirator surgical/procedure masks are intended to help put a barrier between the wearer and the work environment or sterile field. They may help keep spit and mucous generated by the wearer from reaching a patient or medical equipment.
They can also be used as a fluid barrier to help keep blood splatter from reaching the wearers mouth and nose. And, where applicable, they are FDA cleared as medical devices and can therefore be used in surgery in the U.S.
However, surgical/procedure masks cannot provide certified respiratory protection unless they are also designed, tested, and government-certified as a respirator. If a wearer wants to reduce inhalation of smaller, inhalable particles (those smaller than **0 microns), they need to obtain and properly use a government-certified respirator, . If the wearer needs a combination surgical/procedure mask and a particulaterespirator, they should use a product that is both cleared by FDA as a surgical/procedure mask and tested and certified by NIOSH as a particulate respirator. Such products are sometimes called a surgical N*5, "medical respirator" or "health care respirator.  and 

A particle filtering half mask covers the nose and mouth and the chin .These devices are designed to protect against both solid and liquid aerosols  Classification ,Particle filtering half masks are classified according to their filtering efficiency and their maximum total inward leakage.There are three classes of devices:FFP1,FFP2 and FFP3.

In the U.S., a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA ***0.**4 including training, fit testing and medical evaluation. In Canada, CSA standards Z*4.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Misuse may result in sickness or death.
