Tokyo (JCNN) - 3M Health Care has started to sell 1870F, a package of two N95 respirators for controlling micro particles causing infectious diseases such as SARS and avian flu, for general use.
Originally sold for use in hospitals, the 1870F folding-type portable respirator softly and yet closely covers the mouse and the nose. Discretely packed, each respirator in the package remains clean until opened for use.
Compatible with the N95 standard, with recommendations from the WHO, the CDC, and the Health Labor and Welfare Ministry of Japan, the respirator can capture a 75nm-diamter particle with a probability of 99.9%, high enough to be effective in preventing tuberculosis, hay fever, SARS and bird flu.
The product sells for 819 yen ($7.88) through online shopping mall Rakuten.
