How to choose the right mask
Understanding ASTM F2100-19 / EN14683 : 2019 STANDARDS
Selecting the appropriate mask for a particular procedure is a critical component of your Personal Protective Equipment ( PP ) protocol .Although masks may look similar , each mask has notable differences affecting the quality and level of filtration . Understanding the ASTM performance level of each face mask can help make the selection process easier and ensure your mask will provide the appropriate filtration.
Medical face mask materials covered under ASTM specifications are designated as one or more of the following performance levels based on the barrier performance properties of the materials used :
| ASTM F2100-19 | EN 14683 : 2019 Barrier Levels | |||||
| BFE % | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Type 1 | Type 2 | Type 3 |
| PFE % | ≥ 95 | ≥ 98 | ≥ 95 | ≥ 98 | ||
| Synthetic Blood | ≥ 95 | ≥ 98 | Not Required | |||
| Differential Pressure | Pass at 80 mmhg | Pass at 120 mmhg | Pass at 160 mmhg | Not Required | Pass at 120 mmhg | |
| Flammability | ＜5.0 mmH₂O / cm^2 | ＜6.0 mmH₂O / cm^2 | ＜40 Pa / cm^2 | ＜60 Pa / cm^2 | ||
| Microbial Cleanliness | Not Required |
≤30 cfu / g |

| Biocompatibility | 510K Guidance recommends testing to ISO10993 | Complete an evaluation according to ISO10993 | ||||
Synthritic Blood * represents the mask’s resistance to penetration by synthetic blood under pressure ( mmhg ) . It measures the ability of a mask’s material construction to minimize the saturation of fluids traveling through the material potentially coming into contact with the wearer . The higher the fluid resistance ( filtration ) , the better the protection
BFE ( Bacterial Filtration Efficiency ) represents the percentage of aerosol particulates filtered at a size of 3 microns. It is the measure of the efficiency of the mask in filtering bacteria passing through it
PFE ( Sub-micron Particulate Filtration Efficiency ) represents the percentage of submicron particulates filtered at 0.1 micron PFE is the measure of the efficiency of the mask in filtering particles passing through it . The size of the particles filtered is critical
DELTA P ( Differential Pressure ) represents the pressure drop across the mask or resistance to air flow inmmh2o / cm2 . This determines breathing resistance-the higher the Delta P , the less the breath ability , but the better the filtration
Flammability measures flame spread of the mask material
