T9731 Air Leak Testing for surgical mask

MODENA, Italy - April 27, 2022 - PRLog -- Surgical masks are also known as medical masks are widely used across the world due to Covid-19 by health workers in hospitals during surgeries and interaction with patients, as well as by the general public who wear these as face masks to prevent contamination during this pandemic.

The primary purpose of surgical face masks is to keep infectious agents away from patients, as well as to protect users from highly contaminated fluid droplets in specific conditions.Testing the surgical masks is an essential part of ensuring that they are safe to use and contamination-free. Because, if the medical masks would not efficiently be tested then it will dangerous for both health operators and patients.

Surgical masks have been demonstrated in several studies to retain droplets ejected from the user, which seem to be responsible for a lot of virus transmission. This source control strategy shows a change in mindset from a'medical' to a 'public health' strategy.

EN14683 is an EU regional testing standard for surgical masks. EN 14683 mask is a health device that is worn in the mouth and nose to filter oxygen into the mouth, preventing dangerous gases and particles from entering and exiting the user's mouth and nose. The mask may successfully filter aerosols and other contaminants to protect the user from the pandemic Covid-19.

FORTEST has taken to help in the combat against Covid19 by producing new certification testing instrumentT9731- EN 14683for surgical/disposable masks that complies with the EN 14683 standard, making it easier and more efficient to verify all personal protective equipment (PPE).

The user-friendly interface of T9731- EN14683is suitable for prototype and pre-series stage analyses and investigations, along with manufacturing line testing.The wide 7" color screen, built-in HMI (human-machine interface) touch-screen controller, allowing entire engagement with the inner and main-screen settings, and the "smart" evidentiary archive comprises daily, monthly, and unique for every testing program, so that the quality standard of the surgical masks can be maintained.

There is no expertise required for operating T9731- EN14683, you just need to place the mask into the holder and close it. The kit is composed of the instrument and the holder, it automatically regulates the constant flow of 8 l/min, and testing time is very fast. The differential pressure is measured in Pa/ cm2. If the differential pressure is less than the defined limit, the result will display "GOOD".
