OBJECTIVES
To develop our own qualitative fit test kit and protocol for respirators and validate this against the manufacturer-issued kit.
METHODS
This is a crossover study of 50 healthcare workers in a tertiary government hospital. Some healthcare workers were tested multiple times according to the number of respirators they want tested. Qualitative fit testing was done according to manufacturer protocol for the commercial kits or according to our own protocol for the novel kits.
RESULTS
A total of 63 fit tests were analyzed. This novel kit was determined to be noninferior to manufacturer-issued kits in detecting leaks among worn respirators (p=0.005).
CONCLUSION
A fit test kit can be successfully created from readily available household and hospital materials. Fit tests with these novel kits using our validated protocol are shown to be noninferior to commercial test kits. This can greatly aid in qualitative fit testing of respirators in a logistically constrained pandemic setting.
目的
开发我们自己的呼吸器定性适配测试套件和方案，并与制造商提供的套件进行验证。
方法
这是一项针对一家三级政府医院50名医护人员的交叉研究。一些医护人员根据他们想要测试的呼吸器数量进行了多次测试。定性适配测试按照商业套件的制造商方案或我们自己的新型套件方案进行。
结果
共分析了63次适配测试。在检测佩戴的呼吸器泄漏方面，这种新型套件被确定不劣于制造商提供的套件（p = 0.005）。
结论
可以用现成的家庭和医院材料成功制作适配测试套件。使用我们经过验证的方案对这些新型套件进行的适配测试显示不劣于商业测试套件。这在后勤受限的大流行环境中对呼吸器的定性适配测试有很大帮助。
