PortaCount-Next-Gen General Industry - OSHA CNC Fit Test Solutions

Q: How does the updated PortaCount process reduce fit test time?

It follows OSHA modified CNC protocols with fewer, shorter exercises, changing from eight exercises to four. Total fit test time drops from 7:15 minutes to 2:29 minutes.

Q: What does FitCheck® Mode do during a fit test?

FitCheck® Mode shows how a respirator’s fit changes during donning and adjustment using a real-time radial display or live graph. It enables quicker identification of the right mask and provides instant fit feedback.

Q: How do real-time and real-world measurements improve respirator safety?

Real-time measurements help staff understand how and when the respirator best protects them, while real-world measurements evaluate fit during actual movement, breathing, and talking to reflect on-the-job protection.
