Very interesting. Hopefully it doesn't come down to using viral filters as PPE, but still better than a bandana. Stay safe.

Thank you for this informative video. Which of the masks you tested were a fit for the PulmoGuard II filter? Trying to order the parts now

May I ask, why are Heat Moisture Exchange Filters not usable for this mask? When in fact they are also labelled as antibacterial/antiviral.

What is a better choice? Ill fitting n95 or this elastomeric mask?

Just tried to purchase the Teleflex filter and my transaction was declined. I was told the manufacturer just restricted them due to COVID19.

So can we say, if we use surgical mask as a filter in 3m half face respirator which gives good seal. This will work like n95?

[fleshanthos]

can cotton balls be used as any type of filtration? to what thickness?

[kushalprajapati]

is the Ventilator Expiratory Filter the same as inline main flow ventilation filter?

[stareaglesh]
