Abstract

In response to worldwide shortages of N95 masks during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has highlighted various conservation and reuse strategies including isolation and vaporized hydrogen peroxide but with limitations of “safe” reuse of N95 masks up to five times. The aim of this project was to evaluate the results of NIOSH quantitative fit testing after five trials of donning on a specific manufacturer’s “duckbill” type N95 masks with/without repeated sterilization using vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
