Quantitative vs Qualitative
There are multiple ways to break down the differences between Qualitative fit testing and Quantitative fit testing. Quantitative is data-based, provides a real objective metric, and usually tests the actual mask individuals will wear to protect them. Qualitative is based on a series of sensory questions.
Types of Quantitative Fit Testing
AccuFIT 9000® Machines use the Ambient Aerosol Method (CNC) of fit testing, which can be performed in as little as 3 minutes, and works on full-face, half-face, and even disposable masks and respirators.
CNC Fit Testing
AKA Condensation Nuclei Counting.
- Can test ALL types of respirators
- Test fit in dynamic mode, while test subject is moving and breathing
- Best correlation with gold standard
- Much easier to learn and perform protocols
- Produces direct fit factor
CNP Fit Testing
AKA Controlled Negative Pressure.
- Cannot test filtering facepieces (N95 masks)
- Test subject must hold breath and not move
- Poor correlation with gold standard
- Extremely operator technique dependant
- Back calculated fit factor approximation
