[MCOH-EH] AlphaProTech N-95 reviews and other N-95 maks

[Susan Higgins]

We have only been able to fit 4 employee to the AlphaProtech
Other masks we are using are the 3M 1860, 1860S- we have had good results but of course they are in short supply.
Kimberly Clark/ Haylord Reg. and Small  are typical are go to mask after the 1860 and 1860S
3M1870, 1804 and 1804S- in the past we used these only if we were unable to fit into the KC Reg or Small (Duck Bill) or 3M 1860 1860S. Because of allocation we cannot get any of these
We have also acquired Makrite which work OK for the unusually large Face
We just received a shipment of 3M 8110S  today, hopefully we will have some success with those
Below are my fit testing daily stats for a reference.

Our Logistics Department obtained and few boxes as well and we could not get a successful fit test using a Porta Count.    We have moved them from the N95 designation to a cough mask for our facility.  JW

Does anyone use AlphaProTech brand N-95's?  We received a very large shipment, and I have been unsuccessful in getting them to pass a fit test.
