[Evaluation of quantitative fit-testing of N95 filtering facepiece respirators using Mask-Fitting Tester and improvement of mask fitting by instruction].
To evaluate quantitative fitness of N95 filtering facepiece respirators (N95 Mask) using Mask Fitting Tester and improvement of fitness by instruction. ⋯ It is useful to evaluate N95 Mask quantitative fitness using Mask Fitting Tester Model MT-02, Roken type. At the first test, 34.6% of health care workers have large amount of leakage more than 10%, and by instruction or changing a mask type, most of them could achieve 10% or below. But 4.5% could not achieve desired value. On Infection control, it is important to test quantitative fitness of N95 Mask and to provide more than three types of N95 Mask.
