3-Ply Surgical Facemasks
Medtecs manufactures surgical face masks and medical procedure masks in 3-ply flat and fish-type styles. By using different material composition, we can offer face masks meeting the requirement of ASTM F2100 Level 1, 2, 3 or EN 14683 Type I, Type II, Type IIR. Three different sizes and multicolour options available.
3 Levels of ASTM Standards
American Society for Testing and Materials regulates the facemask standards. Here are the qualifications standards:
- Level 1: low barrier protection for general use for low-risk, nonsurgical procedures, and exams that do not involve aerosols, sprays, and fluids.
- Level 2: moderate barrier protection for low-to-moderate levels of aerosols, sprays, and fluids.
- Level 3: maximum barrier protection for any situation that has the potential for exposure to heavy levels of aerosols, sprays, and fluids
What We Can Make
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) refers to ASTM standards as the US endorsed standard for Medical Face Masks. ASTM F2100 specification outlines the performance requirements and test methods for medical face masks used in patient care and surgery. Material performance for medical face masks is determined by testing for bacterial filter efficiency, differential pressure, and sub-micron particulate efficiency. It also considers resistance to penetration by artificial blood and flammability.
- BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency) ≥95%-98%
- PFE (Particle Filtration Efficiency) ≥95%-98%
- Delta P <5.0-6.0 mm H2O/cm^2
- Delta P <5.0-6.0 mm H2O/cm^2
