Overview​​
The PFT-3000 is an advanced automated respirator fit tester designed to measure the effectiveness of facepiece seals on N95 respirators, surgical masks, and industrial PPE. Critical for healthcare, mining, manufacturing, and pandemic-response teams, this system ensures compliance with global safety standards (NIOSH 42 CFR 84, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, ASTM F3407) while delivering fast, objective fit-factor measurements to safeguard workers against airborne contaminants.

​​Core Features​​

1. ​​Automated Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT)​​:

   • Measures fit factors in real time (up to 1,000 fit factors) using controlled challenge aerosols (NaCl or DOP particles).
   • Integrated particle generator and detector for fully enclosed, self-contained testing.

2. ​​User-Friendly Interface​​:

   • Touchscreen display guides operators through setup, calibration, and reporting with minimal training.

3. ​​Multi-Mask Compatibility​​:

   • Adaptable to half-face, full-face, and powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) with customizable mask-specific testing protocols.

4. ​​Rapid Testing Cycle​​:

   • Completes full fit tests in under 2 minutes, supporting high-throughput environments like hospitals or industrial sites.

5. ​​Data-Driven Insights​​:

   • Stores test results with timestamps, employee IDs, and pass/fail status for audit trails and regulatory compliance.

​​Technological Innovations​​

• ​​AI-Powered Fit Analysis​​: Machine learning algorithms detect subtle seal leaks and adjust for environmental variables (e.g., humidity, temperature).
• ​​Enhanced FOV Calibration​​: Auto-adjusts field-of-view to ensure accurate particle detection around the mask perimeter.
• ​​Wireless Connectivity​​: Syncs results to cloud platforms via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi for centralized data management and remote audits.

​​Applications​​

• ​​Healthcare​​: Certify N95 respirators for surgeons, nurses, and emergency responders.
• ​​Industrial Safety​​: Test masks for welders, painters, and chemical plant workers exposed to hazardous particles.
• ​​Mining & Construction​​: Validate respirators against dust, silica, and toxic fumes.
• ​​Pandemic Preparedness​​: Mass-fit testing for frontline workers during COVID-19 or other outbreaks.

​​Compliance & Certification​​
Fully compliant with:

• ​​NIOSH 42 CFR 84​​ (respirator certification)
• ​​OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134​​ (fit testing requirements)
• ​​ASTM F3407​​ (Standard Test Method for Respirator Fit Testing)
• ​​EN 140:1999​​ (European respirator standards)

​​Optional Accessories​​

• Extended battery pack for field testing
• Multi-language software support (Spanish, French, Mandarin)
• High-flow particle generator (for coarse aerosol testing)
• Mobile app for real-time data visualization

​​Conclusion​​
The PFT-3000 redefines respirator fit testing with cutting-edge automation, portability, and AI-driven analytics. Whether for daily workplace compliance or large-scale emergency deployment, this system ensures every respirator forms a near-perfect seal—protecting lives and minimizing liability. From healthcare to heavy industry, it’s the gold standard for occupational safety.
