Product Description

ALG Health PATRIOT MASKS are health care respirators designed to provide excellent respiratory protection for the wearer. Patriot N95 masks meet CDC, NIOSH, and FDA guidelines for exposure control. As a disposable particulate respirator, it is intended to reduce wearer exposure to certain airborne particles including those generated by electrocautery, laser surgery, and other powered medical instruments. As a surgical mask, it is designed to be fluid resistant to splash and spatter of blood and other infectious materials.

These NIOSH N95s are the kind of masks that have been extremely restricted to only medical professionals until very recently. Unlike other masks that claim to filter 95%+, these N95s are actually certified by the US government to do so. They are medical grade surgical masks that are being used in ICUs around the country. Patriot Masks received their approvals for the FDA 510k Surgical Respirator classification. Patriot Mask respirators are a Class II Medical Device. It is rated to provide 95%+ filtration by NIOSH, which is a part of the CDC, which is part of the US department of HHS.

Patriot N95 masks are disposable particulate respirators that are designed to help provide reliable respiratory protection of at least 95% filtration efficiency against certain non-oil-based particles. They are effective for construction-related respiratory particle protection during activities such as sanding, sawing, grinding, lawn mowing, sweeping, dry-wall sanding, woodworking, and working with fiberglass insulating particles. ALG Health N95 respirators are also effective protection against particles such as mold, granular pesticides, allergens, and dust.

Use For:
— Medical clinics and operating rooms
— Infection control requirements
— Emergency planning and preparedness
— Laboratory procedures

Do Not Use For:
— For atmospheres less than 19.5% oxygen
— For gases and vapors, including oil aerosols, etc.
— For repeated use following NIOSH guidelines
— If modified or used for unintended purposes
— After the expiration date of 3 years after manufacture date (printed on the bottom of the box)

Fitting Instructions:
— Hold the respirator in hand and with the nosepiece at your fingertips. Allow headbands to hang freely below hand.
— Wear the respirator firmly against your face with the nosepiece on the bridge of your nose.
— Stretch and pull the lower headband over the head and position below your ears. Stretch and pull the top headband on the back of your head above your ears.
— Press soft metal to conform snugly around your nose.

Seal Check
— To test the fit of a respirator without an exhalation valve, cup both hands over the respirator and exhale sharply.
— If air flow is felt in the nose area, re-adjust/tighten the nose clip.
— If air flow is felt around the edges of the respirator, re-position the respirator or head straps to achieve a better fit.

Safety:
— Change the mask immediately if breathing becomes difficult or mask becomes damaged or distorted.
— Change the respirator if a proper face seal cannot be achieved.
— Careful observance of these instruction is an important step in sale respirator use.

All NIOSH-Approved N95 respirators are certified for 3-years (36 months) from the manufacturing date. The manufacturing date and expiration date are listed on the bottom of every box.

All NIOSH N95 masks were originally designed to be disposable after 8 hours of continuous wear. However, due to the scarcity caused by the pandemic, there is now an approved method for reusing one mask for up to 1 week at a time (maximum 15-20 wears / 30 total hours). Between uses during the week, simply store the mask within a sealed plastic ziplock bag. The purpose of this is to keep the mask clean and free of dust between wearing sessions. Excess dust and debris can reduce the filtration capacity (due to the mask's electrostatic nature) if not stored within a plastic bag.

While protective equipment can help reduce the spread of germs, no mask or other product is capable of protecting you 100% against any dangerous substance or virus. We cannot and expressly do not guarantee that masks or other products will completely protect against or prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.

WARNING: These respirators help reduce exposures to certain airborne contaminants. Before use, the wearer must read and understand the User Instructions provided as a part of the product packaging. In the U.S., a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA 1910.134 including training, fit testing and medical evaluation. In Canada, CSA standards Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Misuse may result in sickness or death. For proper use, see package instructions.

FAQ
How many days in the row can you wear a mask?

All NIOSH N95 masks were originally designed to be disposable after 8 hours of continuous wear. However, due to the scarcity caused by the pandemic, there is now an approved method for reusing one mask for up to 1 week at a time (maximum 15-20 wears / 30 total hours). Between uses during the week, simply store the mask within a sealed plastic ziplock bag. The purpose of this is to keep the mask clean and free of dust between wearing sessions. Excess dust and debris can reduce the filtration capacity (due to the mask's electrostatic nature) if not stored within a plastic bag.

Is it washable?

The N95 masks that we offer were originally intended to be disposable, but due to the scarcity caused by the pandemic, there is now an approved method for reusing them for 2 weeks at a time (15-20 wears). After the first week of use, the filtration capacity of the N95 mask starts to degrade and then by two weeks it no longer meets the 95% threshold.

NIOSH-approved N95 masks that filter 95% of particulates are NOT hand or machine washable. You should not use soap and water to clean them. The key to allowing an N95 mask to filter as much as possible for as long as possible is keeping it clean. Dust and debris gather on the mask and can reduce its filtration performance. Therefore, storing it in a clean secure area is the best way to extend its use.

Instructions for how to best store and re-use your N95 mask:

First, please store the N95 mask in a brown paper bag or plastic ziplock bag to keep it clean. Any household sealable plastic bag will do. Every time you wear the N95 mask please take it out of the bag. Then when you are done using it put it back into the same bag. The bag will keep it clean and free of dust and debris between uses.

Once in the bag, please do not remove the mask from the bag again for at least 15 minutes. When the 2 weeks is over, please throw away both the N95 mask and the bag together at the same time. Afterward, start using a new mask and new bag. When following this above procedure then you can see how the single box of 20-25 masks can last 4+ months at a time!

What is the relative comfort and effectiveness of the N95 compared to the KN95?

A certified N95 respirator like the Patriot Masks are a lot more effective than KN95 masks. A recent study showed that approximately 75% of KN95 masks actually do not filter 95% of particulate matter. The reason is that it was much easier for Chinese manufacturers to counterfeit KN95 masks this last year. With a certified N95 mask that's made in the USA there is less supply chain risk and a 0% chance of counterfeiting. Additionally N95 masks provide a much more secure seal to the face than KN95 masks. Air gap leaks common with KN95 masks increase indoor risk considerably. Lastly, the superior materials of an N95 mask including the spandex nose foam pad will make wearing one for long periods of time more comfortable.

How many masks are there per pack?

There are 25 masks in every box of Patriot Masks.

Are these mask made in China?

No, these masks are made by ALG Health in Defiance and Bryon Ohio USA. These are 100% American-made N95 masks.

With advice to wear two masks, and if we add a cloth mask or blue paper mask, should those be worn under or over the N95?

You should always wear the N95 mask closest to your face. This way it can create a tight sealing line around your face structure. So the blue surgical masks or other cloth mask should go on the outside of the N95. This will help to keep the N95 mask clean and make it last longer, which is one of the reason they are currently recommending double masking.

What is the use by date for these masks?

The use-by date on this lot of Patriot White Cup N95 Masks is November 19th, 2023
