1860 N95 Respirator Series

The 1860 N95 respirator is designed for use in health care environments as it has been designed to be both fluid and particulate resistant. This means that it protects from harm from particulate matter such as viral/bacterial particles (just like a standard N95 like the McCordick N95 Mask) but will also help to protect against infection by bodily fluids.

The 1860 series is designed for use in the following settings:

• Health Care;
• Infection Control;
• Laboratories;
• Operating Rooms;
• Patient Care;
• Tuberculosis (TB) wards.This product is designed to meet the Canadian and US CDC guidelines for Mycobacterium tuberculosis exposure control.

The 1860 series is designed to have a bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) of 99% or more, according to ASTM F2101 standards. It also meets the ASTM F1859 standards for fluid resistance.
