Test a device that can improve upon the seal of filtering face mask respirators (FFRs).
A 3-D prototype for a fit improvement frame (FIF) was created and quantitative fit testing was performed for FFRs with and without the FIF.
Thirty eight volunteers underwent fit testing. The overall fit pass rate was 100% for the 3M model 1860 masks, 50% for the 3M model 8511 masks, 13% for the BYD CARE model DE2322, and 7% for the Honeywell DC300N95. When using the FIF the overall passing rate increase to 87% for the DE2322 + FIF (P < 0.01) and for the DC300N95 + FIF the passing rate increase to 73% (P < 0.01).
The FIF is effective in improving the mask fit of a common flat fold N95 masks and potentially other N95 masks.
测试一种可改善过滤式面罩呼吸器(FFR)密封性能的装置。
创建了一个用于贴合改进框架(FIF)的 3D 原型,并对带有和不带有 FIF 的 FFR 进行了定量贴合测试。
38 名志愿者接受了贴合测试。3M 型号 1860 口罩的整体贴合合格率为 100%,3M 型号 8511 口罩为 50%,比亚迪 CARE 型号 DE2322 为 13%,霍尼韦尔 DC300N95 为 7%。使用 FIF 时,DE2322+FIF 的整体合格率提高到 87%(P<0.01),而 DC300N95+FIF 的合格率提高到 73%(P<0.01)。
FIF 可有效改善常见的平面折叠式 N95 口罩和其他 N95 口罩的贴合度。
