We use combination of CAPR & PAPRs. CAPR’s for inpatient, PAPR’s for surgical, Primary care clinics and satellite Urgent Care / ED’s. N95’s for MRI staff.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Transition from N-95 respirators to PAPRs
***This message came from outside our organization***
***PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH LINKS AND ATTACHMENTS***
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.
