iMed GT059-308C FFP3 Respirator with Valve – Single Use
Enhanced Description
The iMed GT059-308C is a high-quality FFP3 respirator designed with a valve for enhanced comfort and breathability. This single-use (NR) respirator, classified as Type D for dust resistance, provides superior protection for medical personnel and the general public against all types of aerosols, including those containing microbiological agents. Its FFP3 rating signifies the highest level of filtration efficiency, ensuring maximum respiratory protection.
How to Use
- Unfold: Carefully unfold the respirator into a cup shape.
- Position: Place the bottom edge against your chin, with the nosepiece facing upwards.
- Secure: Position the headbands – the upper band over the crown of your head and the lower band around the nape of your neck, ensuring they pass comfortably behind your ears.
- Seal: Gently press the flexible nosepiece to conform to the shape of your nose, ensuring a secure seal.
Fit Test
- Cover: Completely cover the respirator with both hands, ensuring it remains securely in place.
- Exhale: Take a deep breath and exhale forcefully. You should feel positive pressure inside the respirator.
- Adjust: If you detect any air leakage around the nose, re-adjust the nosepiece and repeat the test. If leakage persists, readjust the headbands and retest. Achieving a proper seal is crucial for effective protection. Do not enter a contaminated area until a proper seal is achieved.
Importance of a Proper Seal
FFP3 respirators are most effective when a secure seal is maintained between the respirator and your face. Any gaps compromise protection, allowing contaminated air to enter. Ensure your face is clean-shaven, as beards or facial hair can interfere with the seal. Tie back long hair to prevent interference.
