Quantitative Fit Testing
Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT) can be conducted using a 3M™ Quantitative Fit Test Adapter FF-800-06 and P100 filters
such as the 3M™ Particulate Filters D3091.
Qualitative Fit Testing
Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) with the 3M™ Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus FT-10 or FT-30 can be conducted using any of
the NIOSH approved Particulate filters.
Entering and Exiting a Contaminated Area
• Airborne contaminants which can be dangerous to your health include those that are so small you may not be able to
see or smell them.
• Always conduct a user seal check before entering a contaminated area.
• Leave the contaminated area immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
• Any part of the respirator becomes damaged,
• Breathing becomes difficult,
• You feel dizzy or your vision is impaired,
• You taste or smell contaminants,
• Your face, eyes, nose or mouth become(s) irritated,
• You suspect that the concentrations of contaminants may have reached levels at which this respirator may no longer
provide adequate protection.
• Do not wear this respirator in areas where:
• Atmospheres are oxygen deficient,
• Contaminant concentrations are unknown,
• Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH),
• Contaminant concentrations exceed the Maximum Use Concentration (MUC) determined using the Assigned
Protection Factor (APF) for the specific respirator system or the APF mandated by specific government standards,
whichever is lower.
INSPECTION, CLEANING, AND STORAGE
Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, expose you to contaminants above the OEL,
and may result in sickness or death.
• Inspect all respirator components before each use to ensure proper operating condition.
• Ensure the speaking diaphragm is in place and installed correctly prior to use.
• Do not clean respirator with solvents or abrasive cleaning agents. Cleaning with solvents or abrasive cleaning
agents may degrade some respirator components and reduce respirator effectiveness.
• DO NOT clean or dry the facepiece using machines that allow the respirators to tumble or agitate while being
washed or dried. This could damage the facepiece.
Inspection Procedure
This respirator must be inspected before each use and at the time of cleaning to ensure that it is in good operating condition.
Any damaged or defective parts must be replaced before use. Do not enter a contaminated area with damaged or defective
parts.
If the respirator is dropped or otherwise impacted, inspect the respirator and/or cartridges and filters for damage and ensure
the cartridges and filters remain properly attached to the facepiece. Ensure the cartridge/filter button is in the latched
position.
The following inspection procedure is recommended:
1. Check facepiece for cracks, tears and dirt. Be certain facepiece, especially faceseal area and cartridge/filter connection
seal area, is not damaged or distorted.
2. Examine nose cup and inhalation valves for signs of debris, distortion, cracking or tearing. Ensure valves lay flat against
valve seat.
3. Check head straps and comfort cradle for cracks or tears. Ensure head straps are intact and have good elasticity.
4. Examine all plastic parts for signs of cracking or fatiguing. Examine cartridge/filter connection area for distortion or dirt/
particulate that could prevent cartridges/filters from sealing to the respirator.
5. Remove exhalation valve cover and examine exhalation valve and valve seat for signs of dirt, distortion, cracking or
tearing. Ensure valve lays flat against valve seat.
6. Ensure the speaking diaphragm is properly inserted and in good condition. Replace exhalation valve cover.
7. Inspect lens for any damage that may impair respirator performance or vision.
8. Examine filters and cartridges for damage. Ensure filters/cartridges are properly attached to facepiece prior to using the
facepiece and the cartridge/filter release button is in the latched position. Refer to filter/cartridge User Instructions for
complete inspection procedure.
