Subject: RE: Submission
With the latest update from CDC on COVID excluding healthcare settings, we will not be making changes in our protocols.
Does the updated Respiratory Virus Guidance apply to schools? Healthcare settings? Correctional facilities and shelters?
No. CDC's Respiratory Virus Guidance is intended for a general audience and community settings and does not apply to healthcare settings. CDC offers separate, specific guidance for healthcare settings (COVID-19, flu, and general infection prevention and control) and Interim Guidance for Managing Healthcare Personnel with SARS-CoV-2 Infection or Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 that is not currently changing. https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/guidance/faq.html

No, as we will wait for CDC and our state public health department input. May be able to get rid of antigen testing before RTW as we do at several Harvard teaching hospitals here in Boston.

Hi All,
As we all know CDC updated isolation guidelines for the public in terms of COVID-19. Not really sure when they will put out guidelines with healthcare settings, but has or is anyone planning to make changes at their medical center? If so, what policy to you plan to implement?
Thank you,

We recently purchased the Accu-Fit. It?s significantly less in price and have been pleased with the performance. Our fit testing takes less than ten minutes with the training inclusive of this timeframe. We have also taken our machines and humidifiers and used them in remote locations with good success. I would never go back to qualitative testing unless forced to do so.
There is no clean up of that awful saccharin/bitrex. No purchasing of the same. It?s a huge win. Additionally, we have had a couple of people with allergic reactions to the testing solutions and had to send one to our ED for treatment. Please feel free to reach out if you are inclined. AO

Good afternoon
We conduct quantitative respiratory fit testing and purchased our portacount machines from TSI.
I have 3 offices, 6 machines and conduct an average of 300/month.
We also recently purchased an adapter to use with half face respirators as we were previously only testing for N95 masks.
Please feel free to contact me for additional questions.
