Title: Is the fit of N95 facial masks effected by disinfection? A study of heat and UV disinfection methods using the OSHA protocol fit test. Document date: 2020_4_17
ID: b7n2og71_3
Snippet: Many hospitals have initiated efforts to treat N95 respirators to deactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus so they may be reused by health care workers. The CDC has recently released guidelines on extended use and limited reuse of disposable N95 respirators in the health care setting. In their guidance, the CDC specifically cautions that "A key consideration for safe extended use is that the respirator must maintain its fit and function." However, there i.....
Document: Many hospitals have initiated efforts to treat N95 respirators to deactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus so they may be reused by health care workers. The CDC has recently released guidelines on extended use and limited reuse of disposable N95 respirators in the health care setting. In their guidance, the CDC specifically cautions that "A key consideration for safe extended use is that the respirator must maintain its fit and function." However, there is a dearth of high-quality evidence evaluating fit and function of masks after such treatments.
