Biological Particles
This respirator can help reduce inhalation exposures to certain airborne biological particles (e.g. mold,
Bacillus anthracis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc.) but cannot eliminate the risk of contracting infection,
illness or disease. OSHA and other government agencies have not established safe exposure limits for
these contaminants.
Use Instructions
1. Failure to follow all instructions and limitations on the use of this respirator and/or failure to wear this
respirator during all times of exposure can reduce respirator effectiveness and may result in sickness
or death.
2. Before occupational use of this respirator, a written respiratory protection program must be
implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 such as training, fit testing,
medical evaluation, and applicable OSHA substance specific standards. In Canada, CSA standard
Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate.
3. The particles which can be dangerous to your health include those so small that you cannot see them.
4. Leave the contaminated area immediately and contact supervisor if dizziness, irritation, or other
distress occurs.
5. Store the respirator away from contaminated areas when not in use.
6. Filtering facepieces are to be inspected prior to each use to assure there are no holes in the breathing
zone other than the punctures around staples and no damage has occurred. Enlarged holes resulting
from ripped or torn filter material around staple punctures are considered damage. Immediately
replace respirator if damaged. Staple perforations do not affect NIOSH approval. (For 8110S only)
