Product
Particle filter mask
Brand
Shenzhen Medical Equipment
Batch
202006054520
Description
70 masks in a cardboard box, as a 10-pack in plastic packaging.
Risk
The particle/filter retention of the material is insufficient (measured values as low as 90%). Consequently, an excessive amount of particles or microorganisms might pass through the mask, increasing the risk of infection if not combined with additional protective measures. As a result of the labelling, the mask may be worn in areas where hazardous substances are in use or during activities involving asbestos; since the mask fails to offer sufficient protection, this could lead to asbestosis with fatal consequences. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulation and with the relevant European standard EN 149.
