Product

Description
White PPE facemasks, branded 'EireMed'. The masks have the CE marking, the claims KN95 and FFP2, and a reference to the European standard EN149 embossed on the side.
Risk
The particle/filter retention of the material (measured values: as low as 78%) and the total filtration capacity of the mask (measured mean values: as low as 80%) are insufficient. Consequently, the product does not fulfil the health and safety requirements; thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulation nor with the European standard EN 149.
