3M™ Versaflo™ Easy Clean PAPR Kit TR 300N+ has not been evaluated by Clinical Consultants of DENTAL ADVISOR. It was chosen as a Clinical Problem Solver by consensus of the Editors.

Problem

A dental hygienist performing Aerosol Generating Procedures is required to wear an N95 or equivalent for state mandated OSHA guidelines; several attempts were made to find an N95 that achieved both a seal and proper fit. Quantitative fit testing failed due to the shape of her face.

Solution

3M™ Versaflo™ Easy Clean PAPR Kit TR 300N+ provides an alternative to an N95 respirator and meets OSHA/NIOSH requirements for personal protective equipment. It provides an personal air powered stream of air with a choice of a shrouded hood or over the ear headpiece. The charged battery will last for up to 10-12 hours.
