• This respirator/filter provides LIMITED protection. It may help reduce
exposure to airborne biological agents, including H1N1 (swine) flu
virus, avian (bird) flu virus, other types of influenza, SARS, or other
bacterial or viral biological agents and help reduce the risk for influen-
za infection during a pandemic, but will NOT eliminate the risk of expo-
sure, infection, illness, or death.
• This respirator/filter is certified by NIOSH to comply with the require-
ments specified for the designated filter efficiency level; however,
appropriate authorities have NOT established a safe level of exposure
to biological agents. Therefore, the respirator may NOT prevent trans-
mission of influenza virus.
• Refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at
www.cdc.gov for guidance on the use of respirators to help decrease
exposure to H1N1 virus or other airborne biological agents in commu-
nity, home, and occupational settings. The CDC recommends fit test-
ing, medical evaluations, and training for optimal effectiveness when a
respirator is used in a non-occupational setting. Neglecting these
preparatory measures may cause an unsafe condition. Respirators
used in an occupational setting MUST be used in accordance with a
complete respiratory protection program as required by OSHA, which
includes proper selection, training, fit-testing, and fit-checking.
Detailed information on a respiratory protection program is available
by contacting OSHA or visiting www.osha.gov.
