Description

• Each appointment takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
• Qualitative testing uses a taste solution for testing and is acceptable to checking and fitting for N95 masks. The respirator wearer uses their sense of smell to detect leakage. These tests are fast, require no complicated equipment, and are easily performed. The outcome relies on the wearer’s subjective response (pass/fail).
• The only way to really be sure that your N95 mask fits is to have a respiratory fit test done. Book yours today!

Once Completed

Once I am fitted, can I use any brand/make/model respirator As long as it is the same size?
No. A fit test only qualifies you for the specific brand/make/model/size of the respirator with which an acceptable fit testing result was achieved.

You should wear only respirators of the same brand, model, and size that you wore during successful fit tests. Our mask testing in Calgarycan decipher the best masks for you.

Note: respirator sizing is not standardized across models or brands. For example, a medium in one model may not offer the same fit as the same or different manufacturer’s medium model.
