PROBED RESPIRATOR ASSY - 3M Automotive

The 3M Automotive PROBED RESPIRATOR ASSY, Model 6200Q, is a specialized tool designed specifically for quantitative fit testing of 3M 6000 Series reusable respirators. This assembly is critical for professional technicians and mechanics to ensure proper respirator fit, a key component of workplace safety and regulatory compliance. It is not intended for use as primary respiratory protection in contaminated environments.

Key Features

• Quantitative Fit Testing: Engineered to facilitate quantitative fit testing on 3M 6000 Series respirators, providing numerical results for documentation.
• Probed Facepiece: Features a medium-sized probed facepiece that allows for the precise measurement of leakage into the respirator during testing.
• Included P100 Filters: Comes with P100 filters, integral for conducting effective quantitative fit tests.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) for the facepiece, ensuring durability for repeated testing procedures.
• 4-Point Harness: Equipped with a secure 4-point harness for a stable fit during the testing process.

Applications

This probed respirator assembly is an essential tool for safety professionals in automotive and industrial sectors where tight-fitting respirators are used. It enables compliance with OSHA regulations, which mandate fit testing for workers prior to initial use of a tight-fitting respirator and annually thereafter. The 6200Q ensures that personnel utilizing 3M 6000 Series respirators for tasks such as painting, grinding, or handling chemicals have a properly sealed and effective protective device. Regular quantitative fit testing helps identify and correct improper fit due to factors like respirator size or changes in a worker's physical condition.
