    Snippet: Our research is concordant with previous research in our observation that we observed mask models that failed after UVGI treatment using various fit testing methods. These data suggest that UVGI methods of FFR decontamination cause fit failure in more than 40% of the models tested to date. FFR fit testing may be needed after each decontamination cycle for each user to confirm proper fit in order to ensure that decontaminated masks perform accordi.....
    Document: Our research is concordant with previous research in our observation that we observed mask models that failed after UVGI treatment using various fit testing methods. These data suggest that UVGI methods of FFR decontamination cause fit failure in more than 40% of the models tested to date. FFR fit testing may be needed after each decontamination cycle for each user to confirm proper fit in order to ensure that decontaminated masks perform according to CDC guidance that "[a] key consideration for safe extended use is that the respirator must maintain its fit and function."
