How N95 Masks Really Work
There is a lot of misinformation about the way N95 respirators work and in fact what the designation actually means. In order to understand the AAC/CPC method of fit testing, it is really helpful to first understand the filtration mechanisms that occur in the Filtering Facepiece Respirators such as the N95 series. We recently found […]

Respirator Fit Testing Methods: Controlled Negative Pressure (CNP) vs. Ambient Aerosol
In summary, it can be demonstrated that the Ambient Aerosol method as used in the AccuFIT9000 is traceable to and compares extremely favorably to the proven “Gold Standard”.
The Optimal Environment for Respirator Fit Testing
CPC-AAC fit testing measures the concentration of these particulates in the breathing zone while the test subject is performing a series of exercises designed to stress or breach the seal of the respirator as they are wearing it.
What OSHA Says About Respirator Fit Testing
The AccuFIT9000 has been designed to meet the requirements of the Condensation Nuclei Counting Fit Test protocol as described in 29 CFR 1910.134
Cost Savings with AccuFIT 9000
Because the official protocol required to perform a legally-valid qualitative (i.e., Saccharine or irritant-smoke) fit test is time-consuming and labor-intensive many practitioners omit required steps in order to simply get through the process.
