Decontamination and Reuse of Filtering Facepiece Respirators using Contingency and Crisis Capacity Strategies
Reading now: 700
Reusing disposable filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) has been suggested as a contingency capacity strategy to conserve available supplies for healthcare environments during a pandemic.
Strategies for FFR extended use and reuse (without decontamination of the respirator) are currently available from CDC/NIOSH.
The surfaces of an FFR may become contaminated while filtering the inhalation air of the wearer during exposures to pathogen-laden aerosols.
The pathogens on the filter materials of the FFR may be transferred to the wearer upon contact with the FFR during activities such as adjusting the FFR, improper doffing of the FFR, or when performing a user-seal check when redoffing a previously worn FFR.
