All of Epsilon’s masks are ATSM Level 3 certified, meaning they are ideal for procedures in which there is high risk of fluid exposure (splashes or sprays will be produced), e.g. medical procedures.
Understanding ATSM levels.
- ASTM Level 1: Ideal for procedures in which there is low risk of fluid exposure (no splashes or sprays expected).
- ASTM Level 2: Ideal for procedures in which there is moderate risk of fluid exposure (splashes or sprays can be produced).
- ASTM Level 3: Ideal for procedures in which there is high risk of fluid exposure (splashes or sprays will be produced).
Protection Provided Wearing a facemask that has been ASTM-rated will ensure that your nose and mouth (breathing area) are protected against fluids, microorganisms, and particulates at the level to which the mask is rated (i.e., 1, 2, or 3 specifications).
