Facial protection is perhaps the most personal of choices in personal protective equipment. Halyard Health's FLUIDSHIELD* Surgical Masks deliver both comfort and protection. When you’re involved in any task with any possibility of low fluid exposure, you’ll breathe easier knowing these masks meet the ASTM F2100-11 Level 1 standard.
ASTM F2100-11: The Standard for Fluid-Resistant Protection
ASTM issues guidelines for performance of medical face masks, including a requirement for fluid resistance and particulate filtration. ASTM F2100-11 standards also call for mask packaging to be clearly labeled with the level of protection in one of three levels: 1, 2 or 3. This standard reinforces the importance of labeling to identify protection level, based on fluid resistance, filtration and breathability. This greatly simplifies the process of mask selection. ASTM F2100-11 is recognized by the FDA as the standard for medical face masks.
