Qualitative Fit Test
It is imperative for each clinician attempting to use Pneumask in a clinical setting to first conduct a qualitative fit test with a trained administrator. These would be done with the full assembly (snorkel mask, adapter, and bacterial/viral filter) while performing a series of movements. Please see video below for an example of one of these tests.
Additionally, before each shift or use, please perform the basic positive/negative seal test to ensure proper donning and fitting. These are outlined as part of the donning instructions.
