FAQ
What is the value of transport cinch pads for our department?

The absorbent pad acts as a table cover, reducing cross contamination and spills. It saves valuable minutes of clean up between procedures. The fluid resistant outer surface of pad is red with built-in biohazard markings to clearly indicate a contaminated unprocessed device. QEZ transport cinch pads cushion delicate devices during transport and reduce cleaning time…

FAQ
What is the Shield High-Efficiency Face Mask?

The Shield High Efficiency Mask is a disposable pleated mask designed to reduce transmission of airborne organisms, particles and aerosolized fluids.

FAQ
How should I determine the right mask for the task?

Follow CDC guidance and OSHA mandates based on current risks for disease transmission. In general, use Level 1 and 2 masks for exams and other procedures not likely to produce aerosols or spray, or for patients and visitors. Use a Level 3 mask like Shield for procedures likely to generate aerosols when an N95 level…

FAQ
Is there a reliable and objective method for rating the protection level of medical masks?

Yes, medical masks are tested at certified 3rd party labs using the ASTM Performance Rating method (ASTM F2100-11). Ratings range from Level 1 – lower fluid resistance to Level 3 – highest fluid resistance. Our Shield High-Efficiency Face Mask is rated level 3.

FAQ
What is the ASTM rating for Shield masks?

Our Shield High-Efficiency Face Mask is rated ASTM Level 3, the best protection short of N95 respirator masks. Level 3 masks are recommended for a wide range of procedures including those likely to generate aerosols and spray (in the absence of requirements for N95 level protection).

FAQ
How does the Shield mask design maximize protection for the user?

In addition to the Level 3 filtration efficiency and fluid resistance, Shield masks are designed with Positive Facial Lock® and Twist Seal® to allow a custom fit around the nose, sides and chin. This reduces leakage and “blow-by” of particles and aerosols around the edges of the mask during procedures.
