Choose the right maskThe right mask is an ASTM-rated mask.

Follow the leaders

ASTM International sets the preferred international standard in healthcare for best practices inclusive of testing and requirements

for performance of materials. The FDA, who oversees the sale and marketing of all surgical masks, recommends that manufacturers

demonstrate mask performance in 4 areas:

Protection over preferenceSafety is everyone’s concern but your mask choice is your own. With all of the key facts and safety factors in mind for you can

select an ASTM-rated mask that is right for you and protects the best.

Fluid resistanceIn matters of splatter

When at risk of encountering blood and/or bodily fluid splatter, wear the recommended ASTM Level 3 fluid-resistant mask and get

the best protection for the OR.

Fit The fit is it

even the right mask not worn correctly could put you at risk. Nose and mouth must be coverd completely. Create a seal around the face to

prevent gaps that increase the risk of inhalation exposure

The “4 Fs” of selecting the right mask*Use ASTM standards to support choices around Filtrations and Fluid Resistance

Level 1: low barrier protection General use for short procedures and exams 80 mm Hg <4.0 ≥95% ≥95% Class1

Level 2: moderate barrier protection For low to moderate levels of aerosols, 120 mm Hg <5.0 ≥98% ≥98% Class1

Level 3: maximum barrier protection 160 mm Hg <5.0 ≥98% ≥98% Class1

Understanding ASTM levels of protection is key

When it is solely a matter of micromillimeters, level up your mask selection and get the best protection with an ASTM Level 3 mask.

The risk of exposure to blood and bodily �uid splat-ter in the OR is signi�cant and the protection o�ered in an ASTM Level 1 mask is minimal. (Twicw the protection in aL3/L1)
