respirator fit (e.g. eyewear, face shield). In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4
requirements must be met. Follow all applicable local regulations. This respirator is
designed for occupational/professional use by adults who are properly trained in its
use and limitations. OSHA and CSA accepted fit test protocols are recommended for
fit testing this respirator.
2. All components of this respirator must be inspected prior to each use to assure
that no damage has occurred. Holes resulting in ripped or torn filter or respirator
material are considered damage. If dirty, clean the respirator before use. If there is
any damage, properly dispose of the component and get a replacement. Head Strap

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 5
Find a clean disinfected environment to work in. Practice hand hygiene using
hand sanitizer or soap and water.
Inspect the respirator facepiece (including filter), clips and head strap, to
ensure nothing is damaged or dirty, as above.
On the respirator facepiece, identify the nose feature, this will indicate the top
part of the respirator (Fig. 1). Select the head strap. With the printed lot
number facing up, thread the end of the head strap under the upper left strap
eyelet (Fig. 2) and then through the lower left strap eyelet. Take the other end
of the head strap, check the strap is not twisted, and thread through the
upper right eyelet, then lower right strap eyelet (Fig. 3).
Thread the left strap through clip A (Fig. 4, 5). Thread the right strap through
clip B (Fig. 4, 5).
Do a final inspection of the respirator with all components assembled to
ensure everything has been assembled properly.
Once final inspection is complete (Fig. 6), this respirator s ready to be used.

DONNING INSTRUCTIONS
Perform hand hygiene using hand sanitizer or soap and water.
Inspect the assembled respirator prior to use to assure there are no holes in the
breathing zone and no damage has occurred. Discard and replace if damaged.
Cup the respirator in your hand, with the nosepiece at your fingertips, allowing the
head strap to hang freely below your hand (Fig. 7).
With the nosepiece up, place the respirator over your nose and mouth. Pull the top
strap over your head, resting it high at the top back of your head (Fig. 8).
Adjust the strap length through the eyelets so that the respirator comfortably
covers both your mouth and nose (Fig. 9).
Fasten the clips behind your neck (Fig. 10) and pull the loose strap ends to tighten
to an appropriate tension (Fig. 11).
Perform a user seal check each time you put on the respirator. Use one or both
hands to completely cover the respirator filter (Fig. 12), and exhale. The respirator
should budge slightly. If air leaks at the respirator edges, reposition the respirator
on face (Fig. 13) and/or readjust tension of head strap to eliminate the leakage.
Once the seal check is successful, the respirator is ready for use (Fig. 14).
