Description:
The Czech start-up has developed a personal protective device - a half-mask - with an exchangeable FFP3 filter that meets the highest degree of protection. While a mask usually covers whole face, the half-mask covers only mouth and nose as it is demonstrated on the picture below.
The set consists of the body of the mask manufactured by injection moulding and an external filter certified according to the EN 140:1999 norm and therefore meets the same or higher degree of protection as a FFP3 respirator.
The half-mask is prepared to be used in the highest exposure clinical settings and a verified procedure exists to sterilise and disinfect it for repeated use. Therefore, it is a critical device for the protection of the lives of doctors and other front-line workers meeting people who are under suspicion of or have been proven to have COVID-19.
