AAMI Level 4 Gown Meeting ASTM F1671 Viral Barrier
When your protocol demands a certified viral barrier, you need a gown that meets the ASTM F1671 standard. The Medtecs IL-4036YKTP is an AAMI Level 4 isolation gown that is tested and compliant with ASTM F1671, ensuring it provides a barrier against the penetration of bacteriophage viruses.
What is ASTM F1671 and Why Is It Critical?
ASTM F1671 is the standard test method for measuring resistance to penetration by blood-borne pathogens using a viral surrogate. Passing this test is a requirement for AAMI Level 4.
- Certified Viral Barrier: This gown is proven to block viral penetration.
- Required for High-Risk: Essential for infectious diseases (e.g., Ebola, COVID-19), BSL-3/4 labs, and pandemic response.
A Complete Impervious System
To pass ASTM F1671, the entire gown must be secure. The IL-4036YKTP achieves this with two key features:
- PE-Coated Fabric: A 100% waterproof, non-porous material.
- Fully Taped Seams: All stitch holes are completely sealed to prevent any viral ingress.
The Highest Level of Protection
This gown is also compliant with ASTM F1670 (blood penetration) and provides a robust, 36gsm barrier for frontline workers in the most hazardous environments, such as ICUs and infectious disease wards.
