Respirators: Selection 296-842-13005
So what kind of respirator do I need?
![Page 12: Respirators: Use in the Hospital Terry Walley 360-902-5478 wate235@lni.wa.gov January 29, 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5519ec175503466a248b4678/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Respirators: Use in the Hospital Terry Walley 360-902-5478 wate235@lni.wa.gov January 29, 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5519ec175503466a248b4678/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What do the Letters and Numbers Mean?
Numbers designate expected filter efficiency to remove particles:
95 = 95% efficiency
99 = 99% efficiency
100 = 100% efficiency
100% efficiency = HEPA ratingHEPA = High Efficiency Particulate Air filter
