Filtration efficiency of surgical sterilization fabric for respiratory protection during COVID-19 pandemic |pdf=|usr=}}{{33166599}} gab.com Text Filtration efficiency of surgical sterilization fabric for respiratory protection during COVID-19 pandemic JO: Am J Infect Control http://www.kidney.de/pget.php?&tw=1&pmid=33166599 #FOAvip BACKGROUND: Due to COVID-19 and high demand for respirators, some healthcare professionals have been using the Halyard H600 fabric as an alternative to N95 respirators without testing the filtration efficiency of the fabric with established scientific methods. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficiency of the Halyard H600 as a respirator filtering material as compared to the NIOSH-certified N95 and P100 filters, and determine if H600 is a good alternative for respiratory protection for healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Three filter types (Halyard H600, N95, and P100) were challenged with salt particles inside an exposure chamber at a flow rate of 43 LPM and relative humidity of 40 +/- 2%. N95 and P100 respirator filters were tested initially to establish the validity of the chamber, followed by the Halyard H600 fabric. Particle penetration was measured using an aerosol spectrometer. The filtration efficiency was calculated for different particle sizes by measuring the particle number concentration upstream and downstream of the filter. The pressure drop across the filter materials was measured using a manometer. RESULTS: The efficiency of the P100 for particles >/=250 nm was 100%. The N95 efficiency was 97 +/- 1% at 275 nm, 99 +/- 0% at 324 nm, and 100% for larger particles. The Halyard H600 fabric had a variable efficiency with an average of 62 +/- 28% at 275 nm, 89 +/- 8% at 324 nm, and 100% efficiency for particles >450 nm. The pressure drop values for P100 and N95 were 32 and 8 mmH(2)O, respectively. The Halyard H600 fabric resistance increased dramatically from 30 mmH(2)O at the start of the exposure to 65 mmH(2)O after 16-minutes of exposure. CONCLUSION: The high variability in filter efficiency for particles </=324 nm and the increased fabric breathing resistance demonstrate that the Halyard H600 has an inferior performance and is not a good substitute for N95 and P100. Thus, the use of the Halyard H600 fabric for respiratory protection is not recommended.
