Shortages of surgical N95 respirators (surgical N95 FFRs) can occur during a pandemic. To understand if industrial N95 FFRs have FDA required fluid penetration resistance and flammability, five NIOSH approved N95 models were evaluated using the ASTM F1862 method and flammability using the 16 CFR 1610 method, respectively. Three models passed both fluid penetration resistance and flammability indicating that some N95 models on the market can be used as surgical N95 FFRs during a pandemic.
在大流行期间,可能会出现外科用 N95 呼吸器(外科用 N95 FFR)短缺的情况。为了了解工业用 N95 FFR 是否具有 FDA 要求的耐液体穿透性和可燃性,我们使用 ASTM F1862 方法分别评估了 5 种经 NIOSH 批准的 N95 型号的耐液体穿透性,使用 16 CFR 1610 方法评估了可燃性。其中 3 种型号通过了耐液体穿透性和可燃性测试,这表明市场上的某些 N95 型号可以在大流行期间用作外科用 N95 FFR。
