Does/has anyone have or use fluid resistance standards to determine what procedural/surgical masks are made available to staff? I’ve been asked what fluid rating level we should be using on face masks (not N-95’s) and this is new to me.
If you are what levels are used for what type procedures, etc.
I’m not aware of any regulatory requirements to provide a specific level of fluid resistance on procedural/surgical masks. If there are please share.
Thank you,
Therese
