VII. HOW TO FIT CHECK THE RESPIRATOR

You must perform the following fit check each time the respirator is worn or before 

entering the contaminated area.

WARNING

If a leak-tight seal is not obtained during the following fit check, do not 

wear the respirator. Ask your supervisor or safety professional for assis

-

tance. The failure to comply with this warning may lead to personal injury, 

illness, or death.

You must perform the following fit check each time the respirator is worn or before 

entering a contaminated area.

A.  Positive  Pressure  Fit  Check: 

Hold  the  palm  of  your  hand  gently  over  the 

exhalation valve outlet of the nozzle cover. Do not distort the natural shape of the 

facepiece. Exhale gently and hold your breath to create and maintain a slight posi-

tive pressure inside the facepiece. If air leakage occurs, readjust the facepiece and 

headstraps, then retest.

B. Negative Pressure Fit Check:

 Cover the inlet of the cartridges and/or filters 

with the palms of your hands or another suitable item, such as a thin sheet of plas-

tic or rubber. When the respirator is equipped with cartridges, filter retainers may 

be used as an aid. Alternatively, the cartridges may be removed to perform the fit 

check.  If  removed,  Sperian  recommends  someone  other  than  yourself  reinstall 

them after a leak-tight fit is achieved. It is difficult for the wearer to reinstall the 

cartridges without disturbing the facepiece-to-face seal and to determine whether 

the cartridges are correctly seated against the facepiece. It is your responsibility 

to ensure that the facepiece-to-face seal is not disturbed when reinstalling the car-

tridges and that each cartridge is sealed against the facepiece. Inhale gently and 

hold your breath to slightly collapse the facepiece. If air leakage occurs, readjust 

the facepiece and headstraps, then retest. If filter retainers are used, do not re

-

move them after the fit check is completed. Removing the filter retainers may shift 

the facepiece and break the facepiece-to-face seal.
