Our facility uses PAPR masks primarily.  Respiratory protection questionnaire and PAPR use is reviewed with employees who provide patient care at their pre-employment.  They are further trained on PAPR use during their orientation.

Since our operating rooms are positive pressure, we will fit test the OR staff for N-95's only when they have a suspected active TB patient.

Occupational Health and our Hospital Education Specialist RN's are able to do fit testing for these infrequent occurrences.   Infection Prevention works with the OR to determine who needs to be fit tested.

I wanted to submit a question in regards to Respiratory Fit testing:



We are a very large organization and considering switching from N-95's to PAPRs for active cases of TB in the hospital.



Are any organizations currently using the N-95's and considering moving to PAPR's, or have already made the switch?



How does your organization determine who gets fit tested or instructed on the PAPR?  We are finding that most employees, when asked to put the N-95 mask on, aren't  putting it on correctly, giving the employee a false sense of protection, and thinking of switching to PAPRs.

Hi

We have recently switched to CAPR's by Maxair.

We do have a few departments that must be fit tested for the N-95, such as the OR and histology.

The department managers determine who need to be fit tested or uses the CAPR.

Feel free to call if you want to chat

We switched from N95 to PAPR"S in 2009. We only fit test those units that cannot use the PAPR"S due to sterility such as the OR which must use the N95 mask.

I wanted to submit a question in regards to Respiratory Fit testing:



We are a very large organization and considering switching from N-95's to PAPRs for active cases of TB in the hospital.



Are any organizations currently using the N-95's and considering moving to PAPR's, or have already made the switch?



How does your organization determine who gets fit tested or instructed on the PAPR?  We are finding that most employees, when asked to put the N-95 mask on, aren't  putting it on correctly, giving the employee a false sense of protection, and thinking of switching to PAPRs.
