Quantitative Fit Testing is the most accurate form of respirator fit testing. It provides data-driven results that determine the fit of a respirator on an individual’s face. We use the PortaCount Respirator Fit Tester 8040 to obtain your results.
We use the following 3M masks for testing:
3M-1860
3M-1860S
3M-1870+
If the mask you need is not listed above please contact us at info@sksims.ca to determine the availability of your mask for testing.
Notes & Requirements:
Participants will be required to demonstrate the ability to obtain a proper respirator seal, demonstrate how to properly don and doff their N95 mask.
In order to be FIT tested, participants must be clean-shaven. This is necessary because facial hair will not allow the respirator to seal properly and a positive fit test will not be possible. Anyone with beards or stubble where the respirator seals to the face will not be tested. – Mustaches if trimmed above the lip line are allowed.
