How to use

Medical masks can help reduce the chance of airborne bacterial transmission, but they do not eliminate the risk of exposure, infection, illness, or even death.

To maximize the effectiveness of a medical mask, wear it before and throughout exposure to hazardous air. Medical masks can help protect your lungs, but some harmful bacteria can be absorbed through the skin or spread by eye contact, so other related protection is essential. It is important to wear a medical mask that fits your face. 3M medical masks are not intended for use on children. 3M medical masks are designed for occupational or professional adults who have been trained and understand their uses and limitations. Make sure you have shaved your beard before wearing the medical mask so that the protective medical mask fits snugly on your cheeks. A beard or unshaven stubble can leave a large gap between the protective medical mask and the face. Through training to understand how to use the medical mask correctly and recognize its limitations, practice to wear the medical mask correctly according to the requirements. People with special conditions such as asthma and emphysema should first consult a physician before wearing a medical mask.

Precautions

Pay attention to the expiration date of medical masks. Once the expiration date of the mask is exceeded, the filtration efficiency and protection performance of the filter material will be reduced, and the use of expired medical masks cannot effectively block the infection of viruses and germs. Before using medical masks, be sure to confirm the production date and expiration date.

Be sure to wash your hands before and after wearing a medical mask. Before wearing the mask, you must wash your hands and avoid touching the inner surface of the mask and try to avoid touching the mask during use to prevent it from reducing the protective effect. Try not to touch the outside of the mask when you take it off, so as not to get bacteria on your hands, and be sure to wash your hands after taking it off.

The mask should not be worn for a long time. To prevent infection, some people may wear medical masks all day and night, but this will make the nasal mucosa becomes fragile, losing the original physiological function of the nasal cavity, reducing resistance, so in the population density is not high more ventilated places cannot wear a mask.

Medical masks are folded and kept in self-sealing bags when not in use. It is not recommended to take off the mask and stuff it directly into the pocket or bag, which is easy to cause secondary contamination of the medical mask, it must be folded and put into a clean self-sealing bag, and the side that touches the nose and mouth should be folded inward.
