Flu Virus Mask

Description:

According to the EUA Fact Sheet authorized by the FDA on May 1, 2009, the FDA has authorized use of certain N95 models of respirators for use by the general public during this public health emergency, and the N95 3M 8210 is one of the approved models. The respirators, like the N95 3M 8210 are designed to filter out germs that may be present in the air you breathe. They may help reduce the risk of getting sick by reducing the exposure to airborne germs. The N95 masks are designed to fit tightly over your mouth and nose, with no gaps. Any gaps will allow air to pass around and reach your nose, mouth and lungs without being filtered.

These respirators do not eliminate the risk of disease, illness or death. The effectiveness of these respirators depends on tight fit to your face. Because no respirator provides complete protection against infection, you should always practice other infection control measures such as frequent hand washing, social distancing, and avoiding crowded places.

The N95 3M 8210 disposable respirator can help reduce your exposure to airborne germs during a public health emergency. N95 3M 8210 meet the CDC recommendation for protection against swine flu and avian influenza virus by reducing exposure to airborne germs. Reducing your exposure to airborne germs by wearing a mask such as the 3M 8210 may reduce the risk of getting infected with the flu.
