Perform a User Seal Check

Before assigning any respirator to be worn in a contaminated area, a qualitative or quantitative

fit test must be performed per U.S. OSHA standard 29CFR 1910.134 or local requirements.

Positive Pressure User Seal Check

Place the palm of your hand over the opening in

the exhalation valve cover and exhale gently. If

facepiece bulges slightly and no air leaks are

detected between the face and the facepiece, a

proper seal has been obtained. If faceseal air

leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on

your face and/or readjust the tension of the

straps to eliminate leakage and recheck seal. If

you cannot achieve a proper seal, DO NOT

enter the contaminated area. See your

supervisor.

Negative Pressure User Seal Check

Using Particulate Filters

Place your thumbs onto the center portion of the

filters, restricting airflow through filters and inhale

gently. If you feel facepiece collapse slightly and

pull closer to your face with no leaks between the

face and the facepiece, a proper seal has been

obtained. If faceseal air leakage is detected,

reposition the respirator on your face and/or

readjust the tension of the straps to eliminate

leakage and recheck seal. If you cannot achieve a

proper seal, DO NOT enter the contaminated area.

See your supervisor.

Using Cartridges

Place palms of hands to cover face of cartridge or

open area of 3M™ Filter Retainer 501 and inhale
