(MENAFN- Online PR News) Effective immediately, PortaCount® Respirator Fit Tester models 8030, 8038, 8040 and 8048 are uniquely positioned to run the modified CNC protocols.

Online PR News 27-September-2019 Shoreview, Minnesota OHSA has accepted two newly Modified Ambient Aerosol Condensation Nuclei Counter (CNC) Quantitative Respirator Fit Test Protocols. The new protocols go into effect on September 26, 2019.

The Modified CNC protocols reduce the time needed to complete a CNC fit test from just over seven to under two and a half minutes. They also reduce the number of test exercises from eight to four. They are based on three studies, published in a peer-reviewed journal, demonstrating equivalency to the original Ambient Aerosol CNC QNFT 8-exercise protocol.
