Mask Fit Testing

Mask Fit Testing

Breath for Life performs qualitative mask fit testing performed by its Occupational Health Nurse; testing follows legislative and CSA standards.

As mask manufacturers are numerous and mask fitting is specific to the mask you will be wearing, Breath for Life does not stock or supply masks for fit-testing. You must supply your own mask.

A mask fit test places the wearer of the mask under various testing conditions to challenge the mask seal. If the seal is maintained throughout the test, it means the mask is a proper fit and should not be switched out for any other untested mask. Variables that affect a successful fit test include: the quality of mask, mask size and facial features. Not every mask is of equal quality and the mask you select for fitting, or want to use, must be specific to your facial size and features. Not every mask fits properly and not every fit test is successful. If you are successfully fit-tested a certificate will be issued to you. Certificates are valid for 2 years.
