RESPIRATOR FIT TESTING

Fire service and law enforcement employees face unknown chemical hazards. That's why they must use the highest rated respirators, including SCBAs and military-quality gas masks. Healthcare organizations prefer N95 filtering facepiece (disposable) respirators for protecting workers against airborne biohazards such as TB and SARS. Industrial companies have employees using a wide variety of respirators. But the highest protection level can't be achieved if the respirator isn't donned properly.

 

That's where the TSI PORTACOUNT® Respirator Fit Tester comes in. Passing a quantitative respirator fit test proves that the facepiece is sized correctly and that the person knows how to put it on correctly. The PORTACOUNT® Pro+ Respirator Fit Tester is the only instrument with built-in N95 technology to perform a quantitative fit test on an N95 respirator.

 

The new TSI Qfit Respirator Fit Tester provides the easiest and most comprehensive method for qualitative fit testing (QLFT) and is the only OSHA approved automated nebulizer for BITREX® and Saccharin, reducing work by up to 95%.

 

Easy… Accurate... Repeatable…
