5. Have the test subject follow the exercises one after another when
prompted by the software. Each exercise takes approximately 90
seconds to complete. When the test is complete, the overall fit factor is
displayed on the screen.
6. Review the results.
a. If the fit test passed, issue that exact size and model respirator to the
test subject.
b. If the fit test failed, determine the reason and repeat the test. Some
common reasons for failure are: incorrect mask size for test
subject; cigarette smoking less than an hour before the test;
incorrect mask donning technique.
7. If you are fit testing with a disposable respirator, discard it when the fit
test is complete. Probed respirators are intended for fit testing only and
are never to be reused. You may be able to sanitize and reuse other
types of respirators. Contact the respirator manufacturer for specific
information.
