The Allegro 2040 Saccharin kit offers qualitative OSHA-compliant fit testing for disposable and reusable dust and mist respirators rated N95 and higher. During the test, if the wearer detects a sweet taste, that indicates a leak in the respirator fit. The solution is contained in disposable glass ampules that make pouring solution into the nebulizers easier and reduces the chance of contamination. Since the amount of solution used varies with each test subject, each tube will last for approximately 3-5 tests.
The sensitivity solution is used before donning the mask to establish that the subject can, in fact, smell or taste 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, Tychem QC
2 Nebulizers
1 box of Sensitivity Solution (6 vials)
1 box of Fit Test Solution (6 vials)
