This presentation by Dr. Roy McKay will explain the different types of respirator fit testing available for use with home care. Because not all facepieces used in home care are fit-tested, a brief description of face masks and respirators will be presented. Questions answered during this presentation include: Why conduct a fit test? What types of fit tests are available? What does a fit test look like? How long does it take? And where can I get a fit test done? Because fit testing is important, the presentation will help the viewer recognize if the fit test was properly administered.
