Alcohol cleaning wipes are used to sanitise and clean reusable components of the Moldex BITREX Respirator fit test kit. This qualitative respirator fit test kit is used to determine whether a particulate respirator is safe to use, is worn correctly and fits securely.
- Alcohol cleaning wipes are supplied in a box of 100 wipes.
- The BRITEX respirator fit test kit tests the user’s face to facepiece seal, to ensure the respirator is secure and fits well.
- Qualitative testing utilises the wearer’s sense of smell or taste or their reaction to an irritant, which would detect leaks.
- Conduct a taste sensitivity test and a threshold sensitivity screening test.
- The BITREX fit test includes a taste sensitivity test and a threshold sensitivity screening test.
Alcohol wipes are a component of the Moldex BITREX respirator fit test kit. The whole kit includes the following items, all of which can also be purchased individually to replace used components:
- One fit test hood
- 6 x 2.5ml bottles of Threshold Screening Solution – BITREX
- 6 x 2.5ml bottles of Fit Test Solution – BITREX
- 100 x alcohol wipes
Respirators are not included in the kit – sold separately.
Important fit test requirements to keep in mind:
-
- Facial hair can affect the respirator’s ability to protect the user. Anything that interferes with the seal of the respirator to the face disqualifies the subject from wearing a tight fitting respirator.
- Glasses, goggles or other corrective or protective equipment that will be worn while working must be worn during test, when feasible.
