JSP - Bitrex Fit Test Solution - 2 x Bottles

Bitrex Fit Test Solution (2 x Bottles)

The Bitrex Fit Test Solution is an essential component for conducting qualitative fit tests on tight-fitting respirators, ensuring users achieve a proper seal for optimal respiratory protection.

Key Features

• Purpose: Designed for use in qualitative fit testing to assess the fit of tight-fitting respirators, excluding full-face masks.
• Contents: Each package contains two bottles of Bitrex Fit Test Solution, sufficient for multiple fit test sessions.
• Application: Utilized in conjunction with a fit test hood and nebulizer to introduce a bitter-tasting aerosol around the respirator wearer. If the wearer detects the bitter taste, it indicates an inadequate seal, necessitating adjustments or a different respirator size/model.
• Compatibility: Suitable for use with JSP's Qualitative Face Fit Testing Kit.

Usage Guidelines

1. Preparation: Ensure the test environment is free from contaminants. Instruct the test subject to don the respirator according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Sensitivity Test: Before the fit test, perform a sensitivity test to confirm the subject can detect the Bitrex solution.
3. Fit Test Procedure: With the respirator in place, introduce the Bitrex solution into the hood using a nebulizer. The subject performs a series of exercises to assess the seal's integrity.
4. Evaluation: If the subject does not detect the bitter taste during the exercises, the respirator fit is considered adequate. Detection of the taste indicates a poor fit, requiring adjustments or a different respirator.

Regular fit testing is crucial to ensure respiratory protective equipment provides the intended protection. The Bitrex Fit Test Solution offers a reliable method to verify respirator fit, contributing to workplace safety and compliance with health and safety regulations.
