When caring for a patient with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, all healthcare workers are required to assess the risk of contagion posed to themselves before interacting with the patient and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as FFP3 masks, to minimize risk.

What are the characteristics of FFP3 mask?
1. Exclusive design and shape of FFP3 mask: Semi-rigid mask designed to maintain timely maintenance.
2. The upper part of the FFP3 mask is pre-formed (no bridge of the nose), which is easy and quick to adjust, efficient and safe, and improves breathing comfort Double soft and durable elastic bands, nailed to the ear pieces to avoid any irritation and risk of leakage in the filtering area Ultra-light (9 grams) to minimize wearer fatigue and increase acceptance in time Latex-free, silicone-free, PVC-free.
What are the functions of FFP3 mask?
The FFP3 mask complies with PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 Type III Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Type Tested and Approved
FFP3 mask retention capability is at least 99%
FFP3 mask protects against dust, smoke and aerosols
FFP3 mask is suitable for exposure to CMR drugs (e.g. cytostatics, viral inhibitors), microorganisms and viruses
FFP3 mask can be worn for up to 8 hours (does not apply to cytostatics)
FFP3 mask is recommended for protection against Mexican flu (also known as swine flu), a group of orthomyxoviruses such as virus A/H1N1 and variants; and avian influenza virus A/H5N1
FFP3 mask is also suitable for protection against anthrax and similar biological agents.
How to use FFP3 mask correctly?
First of all, please do not touch the inner and outer surfaces of the mask when removing the FFP3 mask, so as to avoid polluting the mask and increasing the risk of infection.
Secondly, FFP3 mask is originally a "protective article". Manage your own mask. Don't touch the mask used by others. Don't cause cross pollution because of this.
Moreover, after FFP3 mask is used, please do not directly "throw it into the bag or pocket", which will also increase the risk of infection. It is recommended that you fold the mask from inside to outside, then wrap it in a self sealing bag, and finally throw it away.
Wearing FFP3 mask should be safety + science. Wash hands before wearing masks and check the integrity of masks; After separating the upper and lower parts of the mask, please put on the mask completely and adjust the tightness of the strap and the shape of the nose clip. The clip of "nose clip" is very important. We should press the metal sheets on both sides of the nose bridge with both hands to make the mask more fit the shape of the face. Please be clear that the higher the "leakage rate" of the mask (the more air leakage), the worse the protection effect will be.
