Evaluation of the user seal check on gross leakage detection of 3 different designs of N95 filtering facepiece respirators
BACKGROUND: The use of N95 respirators prevents spread of respiratory infectious agents, but leakage hampers its protection. Manufacturers recommend a user seal check to identify on-site gross leakage. However, no empirical evidence is provided. Therefore, this study aims to examine validity of a us...
