Selecting the appropriate mask for a particular procedure is a critical component of your Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) protocol. Although masks may look similar, each mask has notable differences affecting the quality and level of filtration. Understanding the ASTM performance level of each face mask can help make the selection process easier and ensure your mask will provide the appropriate filtration.
Medical face mask materials covered under ASTM specifications are designated as one or more of the following performance levels based on the barrier performance properties of the materials used:
Synthetic Blood* represents the mask’s resistance to penetration by synthetic blood under pressure (mmHg). It measures the ability of a mask material construction to minimize the saturation of fluids traveling through the material and potentially coming into contact with the wearer. The higher the fluid resistance filtration), the better the protection.
BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency) represents the percentage of aerosol particulates filtered at a size of 3 microns. It is the measure of the efficiency of the mask in filtering bacteria passing through it.
