Fit testing evaluates the seal between a respirator and the face, identifying gaps or leaks that put workers at risk. Fit test results confirm if a mask will provide the right level of on-the-job protection needed. When implemented correctly, a respirator fit test and mask can help ensure that respiratory protection levels are achieved through a properly sized and donned respirator.
Quantitative Respirator Fit Testing. The Highest Level of Protection.
Quantiative fit testing (QNFT) is the most accurate fit testing method – using data to calculate the fit factor. Passing a real-time quantitative respirator fit test proves that the face piece is sized and donned correctly, as well as provides for valuable opportunity for training.
PortaCount Respirator Fit Testing equipment measures the fit of the respirator or mask while the user simultaneously performs a series of moving, breathing, and talking exercises designed to simulate the same movements made in the field. With step-by-step guidance, the instrument walks you through the fit test. Once the fit test is complete, it is easy to generate reports. Choose the industry’s most accurate, fastest, and easy-to-use fit tester to increase your staff’s safety, with software and features to improve your program’s efficiency and productivity from training through regulatory compliance reporting.
