Tiki medical – ENGLISH
2.6.2 Protection against skin and ocular contact
The Tiki medical mask is intended to prevent that the face of the user gets in contact
with substances and mixtures which are either hazardous to health or with harmful
biological agents.
The Tiki medical mask prevents the penetration and permeation of such
substances, mixtures and agents through the protective integument under the
foreseeable conditions of use for which the Tiki medical mask is intended.
To this end, the constituent materials of the Tiki medical mask are chosen, designed
and incorporated so as to ensure – as far as possible and under the condition that the
user handles the Tiki medical mask as to the use procedures in this user manual –
offers complete leak-tightness, that allows prolonged daily use or and failing this,
limited leak-tightness necessitating a restriction of the period of wear.
