[Susan Higgins]

We are in the process of transitioning to a CAPR-loose fitting therefore no medical clearance needed.

Same answer at Stanford. We utilize PAPRs for those who can't fit the N95 properly or perform high risk procedures.

Has anyone converted to almost all PAPR use versus N-95s?  Recent DNV surveyor made a suggestion that our organization may want to explore this to almost eliminate the need for fit testing.
