Dentec Safety 706200 Banana Oil Qualitative Fit Test Kit 10 Pack

The Dentec Safety 706200 Qualitative Fit Test Ampules contain isoamyl acetate (IAA), commonly known as banana oil, and provide a fast, safe, and easy method to perform qualitative respirator fit testing. This qualitative fit testing method is based on the subjective response (pass/fail) to the challenge agent with a specific banana-like odor to verify proper face seal between the respirator and wearer's face.

Key Features:

• When activated, the ampules give off a non-irritating odor of banana oil (Iso Amyl Acetate)
• 10 ampules per box for multiple fit tests
• IAA is a chemical compound often used for qualitative fit testing of respirators with a distinctive banana-like odor, making it useful for testing the fit of organic vapor respirators
• If banana odor is detected by the wearer, the respirator must be adjusted or replaced
• Must be used with elastomeric respirators equipped with an organic vapor filter/cartridge

The IAA protocol produces solutions needed to conduct qualitative respirator fit testing in accordance with OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard. The Isoamyl Acetate Protocol achieves validation for a fit factor of 100, making it an effective and reliable fit testing method for workplace respiratory protection programs.

Important Note: The isoamyl acetate protocol is not appropriate to use for the qualitative fit testing of particulate respirators, including any filtering facepiece respirators (e.g., N95, P100).
