3M FT-30 Bitter Qualitative Face Fit Testing Kit

Discover…
The HSE’s guidelines state that all tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment must be face fit tested on an individual to ensure that the mask fits the wearer’s face and avoids any leakage. This kit can be a cost-effective way to correctly assess a face mask’s suitability. Included in the kit is a bitter solution which should not be tasted by the wearer if the mask fits correctly. The bitter version is ideal for those who are unable to detect saccharin in the sweet face fit testing kit.
