Putting on the respirator

1. Inspect respirator before each use to ensure that it is in good operating condition. Examine all the respirator parts for signs of damage including the two headbands, staples, nose foam, nose clip and facepiece material. The respirator should be disposed of immediately upon observation of damaged or missing parts.
2. Remove respirator from packaging and hold with straps facing upward. Place the bottom strap under the centre flaps next to the “ATTENTION” statement.
3. Fully open top and bottom panels, bending nosepiece around thumb at centre of foam. Straps should separate when panels are opened. Make certain bottom panel is unfolded and completely opened.
4. Place respirator on your face so that the foam rests on your nose and the bottom panel is open under chin. Pull the top strap over your head and position it high on the back of the head. Then pull the bottom strap over your head and position it around the neck and below the ears. Adjust for a comfortable fit by pulling top panel toward the bridge of the nose and bottom panel under chin.
5. Place your fingertips from both hands at the top of the metal nosepiece. Using two hands, mold the nose area to the shape of your nose by pushing inward while moving your fingertips down both sides of the nosepiece.
6. Perform a User Seal Check. To check the respirator-to-face seal, cover the middle panel with one or both hands. Inhale and exhale sharply. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator. If air leaks around the nose, re-adjust the nosepiece as described in Step 4. If air leaks around respirator edges, adjust panels and
   position of straps and make certain respirator edges fit snugly against the face.

Removing the respirator

1. Without touching the respirator facepiece, slowly lift the bottom strap from around your neck up and over your head.
2. Then lift off the top strap.
3. Store or discard according to your facility’s infection control policy. Dispose of used product in accordance with applicable regulations.
