I’m sorry but I don’t. This was purchased before I arrived. https://accutec.com/accufit9000-pro/

I’m looking to buy another one in the next few months.

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

Thank you for your reply and will do. Simple question: how much time does this system save you per fit test compared to the qualitative? From: MCOH-EH <mcoh-eh-bounces@ mylist. net> On Behalf Of Darlene Sims Sent: Sunday, March 3, 2024

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.
