- Fluid resistance (120mmHg/16.0kPa)
- Submicron filtration
- Triple pleat design for easy breathing
- Comfortable hypoallergenic inner liner
- Soft and durable ties
Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE)
- With a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) of greater than 99% for media greater than 3 microns, the Proshield Super Fog Fluid Resistant Face Mask provides superior protection from potential infection.
BFE is an independent test conducted by Nelson Laboratories that measures the effectiveness of face mask materials to filter out bacteria.
Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE)
- The super high Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE) material of the Proshield Super Fog Fluid Resistant Face Mask filters >99% of particles greater than 0.1 microns. When securely fitted, the Proshield Super Fog Fluid Resistant Face Maskhelps to provide an effective barrier to particulate matter from laser plumes and electrocautery procedures.
PFE measures effectiveness of the mask material to filter particulate matter.
Breathability (Delta P)
- The Proshield Super Fog Fluid Resistant Face Mask design provides excellent breathability and low delta P (<=1.8) ensuring coolness and comfort even when worn for an extended period.>
Delta P, also conducted by Nelson Laboratories, is a test that measures the breathability of mask materials, ranking masks on comfort and coolness for the surgical mask wearer. The lower the figure, the cooler and more comfortable the mask.
Splash Resistance
- The fluid resistant qualities of the Proshield Super Fog Fluid Resistant Face Mask provide protection against fluid (120mmHg/16.0kPa) strikethrough.
Splash resistance is measured in accordance with ASTM F1862-98 & ASTM F1862-00a standard test method for resistance of medical face masks to penetration by synthetic blood (fluid resistance at 16.0kPa pressure).
