The CBRN Mask Protection Assessment Test System 8020M tests how well a CBRN mask fits. Modern CBRN masks are capable of a high degree of protection, but ONLY if they are fitted correctly and donned properly. A mask that is capable of protection factors of greater than 10,000 may only give a protection factor of 50 if it is incorrectly donned or is not the optimum size. The 8020M provides a numerical measurement of the mask's fit factor while it is being worn.
The mask is tested in its normal operating configuration with the filter canister attached. The user dons their own assigned mask and performs a series of exercises that simulate typical activities. The CBRN Mask Protection Assessment Test System provides a Fit Factor for each individual exercise as well as an overall Fit Factor.
When used as part of your training program the CBRN Mask Protection Assessment Test System ensures that your personnel get the best possible protection from their assigned mask.
The optional FitPlus software can be used to automate the Fit Test, save test results in a database, and print reports of test results.
