This is a "Fold Flat" style NIOSH-approved N95 Swine flu face mask with an exhalation valve. The face mask is held securely to your face with two elastic straps that go over the back of your head, providing a comfortable fit over your nose and mouth. An adjustable nose piece and inner foam layer provide a custom seal for different facial shapes and sizes. "Fold Flat" face masks are more convenient to carry in your pocket or purse than the "cup" styles. Because of more surface area, they provide easier breathing than "cup" style masks. Each mask is individually packaged for cleanliness.
The Centers For Disease Control (CDC) recommends the use of NIOSH certified N95 face masks when entering a room containing a patient who is infected with a contagious disease.
For biological terrorist attacks, United States Senator Bill Frist, a physician and public health expert, recommended in his book, "When Every Moment Counts," that people should have face masks rated "N95" or better for each family member.
Because the face mask is fluid resistant, it also aids in reducing the potential exposure of the wearer to blood and other body fluids. Also effective against smoke and dust. It is not effective against aerosols containing oil.
The exhalation valve reduces heat and moisture build-up inside the mask, making it last much longer than masks without a valve. It also provides more comfortable breathing and prevents eyeglass fogging.
There is no published data on the length of time the mask is effective for the wearer. Health Canada recommends masks should be changed if they become wet, interfere with breathing, are damaged, or visibly soiled. The face masks should be carefully thrown away immediately after using. Do not touch the outside of the mask because you might contaminate your fingers. Remove it by using only the straps.
People who are sick with a contagious disease should wear face masks without the exhalation valve to help prevent transmission of the disease to other people.
Do not use this mask for filtering gases or vapors, including those present in paint spraying operations, oil aerosols, asbestos or sandblasting.
