MASK N95
N95 is a NIOSH certified/approved particulate respirator. This respirator is not designed to be used by children. Disposable respirators should never be shared and must be discarded immediately after use.

For best effect, N95 masks need to be fitted properly. If respirator does not seal
tightly to the face, airborne hazards can penetrate or enter underneath the

respirator or through gaps and into the breathing zone.

However, Respirators may help to reduce exposures to these airborne contaminants but they dont eliminate the risk of exposure.

HOW TO WEAR RESPIRATOR?

> Place thumb at the center of nosepiece and unfold the respirator by pulling top part (with nosepiece) up and bottom part down so the respirator is open all the way. > Straps should be held on the top panel. > Bend nosepiece slightly around thumb at the center of nosepiece.

> Place respirator against your face with the bottom under your chin, and the nosepiece across the bridge of your nose. > Hold respirator on your face with one hand. With your other hand pull the bottom securely under your chin.

> Pull one strap over your head and position it high on the back of your head >Pull second strap over your head and position it around the neck below your ears

>Make certain respirator is completely opened and edges lay flat against the face. >Adjust for a comfortable fit by pulling bottom edge under chin while holding top edge on nose.

> Place your fingertips from both hands at the top of the nosepiece. Use both hands to bend the nosepiece to fit snugly against your nose and face > Remember! The respirator may not fit as well if you pinch the nosepiece using one hand. Use two hands

> Perform a User Seal Check. To check the respirator-to-face seal, place both hands completely over the respirator and exhale. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator.
