Allegro Bitrex Fit Test Kit

The Allegro 2041 Bitrex kit offers qualitative OSHA-compliant fit testing for disposable and reusable dust and mist respirators rated N95 and higher. Bitrex creates an unmistakable bitter taste that indicates a leak in the respirator fit. Some people feel that Bitrex is somewhat safer than Saccharin tests while producing identical results, though we have found that the Bitrex is harder for subjects to ignore than Saccharin. This may result in better overall results. The solution is contained in disposable glass ampules that make pouring solution into the nebulizers easier and reduces the chance of contamination.

The sensitivity solution is used before donning the mask to establish that the subject can, in fact, smell and recognize the solution. The actual fit test solution is more concentrated and stronger in smell. It is used once the mask has been put on the wearer.

The kit includes:
Test Hood
2 Nebulizers
1 box of Sensitivity Solution (6 vials)
1 box of Fit Test Solution (6 vials)
