38200/07023*
Particulate Respirator N95
User Instructions
IMPORTANT:Keep these User Instructions for reference
*07023 is a catalog number only. NIOSH approved as 3M™ 8200 Particulate Respirator
N95. See insert for approval label.
This respirator helps protect against certain particles. Misuse may result in
sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor, or User Instructions, or call
3M in U.S.A.
IMPORTANT
Before use, wearer must read and understand these User Instructions. Keep these instructions for reference.
Use For
Particles such as those from grinding, sanding, sweeping, sawing, bagging, or processing minerals, coal, iron
ore, fl our, metal, wood, pollen, and certain other substances. Liquid or non-oil based particles from sprays
that do not also emit oil aerosols or vapors. For additional information on 3M use recommendations for this
class of respirator please consult the 3M Respirator Selection Guide found on the 3M OH&ESD web site.
Do Not Use For
Do not use for gases and vapors, oil aerosols, asbestos, or sandblasting; particulate concentrations that
exceed either 10 times the occupational exposure limit or applicable government regulations, whichever is
lower. In the U.S., do not use when OSHA substance specifi c standards, such as those for, arsenic, cadmium,
lead in the construction industry, or 4,4’-methylene dianiline (MDA), specify other types of respiratory
protection. This respirator does not supply oxygen.
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. Inspect respirator before each use to ensure that it is in good operating condition. Examine all the respirator
parts for signs of damage including the two headbands, staples, noseclip, and nosefoam. The respirator
should be disposed of immediately upon observation of damaged or missing parts. 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.
7. Dispose of used product in accordance with applicable regulations.
Use Limitations
1. This respirator does not supply oxygen. Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen.
2. Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are immediately dangerous to life and health, are
unknown or when concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) or according to
specific OSHA standards or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower.
3. Do not alter, abuse or misuse this respirator.
4. Do not use with beards or other facial hair or other conditions that prevent a good seal between the face
and the sealing surface of the respirator.
5. Respirators can help protect your lungs against certain airborne contaminants, however, they will not
prevent entry through other routes such as the skin, which would require additional personal protective
equipment (PPE).
6. This respirator is designed for occupational/professional use by adults who are properly trained in their use
and limitations. This respirator is not designed to be used by children.
7. Individuals with a compromised respiratory system, such as asthma or emphysema, should consult a
physician and must complete a medical evaluation prior to use.
8. When stored in accordance with temperature and humidity conditions specified below, the product may be
used until the “use by” date specified on packaging.
Time Use Limitation
If respirator becomes damaged, soiled, or breathing becomes difficult, leave the contaminated area
immediately and replace the respirator.
Storage Conditions and Shelf Life
Before use, store respirators in the original packaging, away from contaminated areas, dust, sunlight, extreme
temperatures, excessive moisture and damaging chemicals. Store in accordance with temperature and
humidity conditions specified below. Use respirators before the “use by” date specified on packaging. The
shelf life of the product and the “use by” date provided on the packaging may not be reached if the storage
conditions specified below are not followed. Before use always inspect product and conduct a user seal check
as specified in User Instructions. If you cannot achieve a proper seal, do not use the respirator.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Must be followed each time respirator is worn.
1. Cup the respirator in your hand, with the
nosepiece at your fingertips, allowing the
headbands to hang freely below your hand.
2. Position the respirator under your chin with
the nosepiece up. Pull the top strap over your
head resting it high at the top back of your
head. Pull the bottom strap over your head and
position it around the neck below the ears.
3. Place your fingertips from both hands at the
top of the metal nosepiece. Using two hands,
mold the nose area to the shape of your
nose by pushing inward while moving your
fingertips down both sides of the nosepiece.
W
WPinching the nosepiece using one hand
may result in improper fit and less effective
respirator performance. Use two hands.
4. Perform a User Seal Check prior to each
wearing. To check the respirator-to-face
seal, place both hands completely over the
respirator and exhale. Be careful not to
disturb the position of the respirator. If air
leaks around nose, readjust the nosepiece
as described in step 3. If air leaks at the
respirator edges, work the straps back along
the sides of your head. If you CANNOT
achieve a proper seal, DO NOT enter the
contaminated area. See your supervisor.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
See step 2 of Fitting Instructions and cup respirator in hand to maintain position on face. Pull bottom strap over head. Still holding respirator in position, pull top strap over head and
remove respirator.
