ASTM Level 2 Earloop Face Masks, Box of 50
These ASTM Level 2 face masks provide a disposable option for facilities selecting medical masks for moderate fluid exposure. Each box contains 50 masks with earloops and an adjustable nosepiece. ASA supplies different manufacturers under SKU S108 depending on inventory. Confirm the current brand and product labeling when your purchasing specification requires a particular model, material or country of origin.
Key Features
- Box quantity simplifies departmental replenishment.
- Earloops hold the mask in place.
- Adjustable nosepiece follows the nose contour.
- Disposable format avoids laundering between uses.
Applications
Consider Level 2 masks for medical and dental procedures where facility assessment calls for moderate fluid barrier performance. Selection depends on the procedure, expected splash exposure and infection-control requirements. Use appropriate eye protection when indicated. These masks do not replace respirators required for airborne hazards or aerosol-generating procedures.
Understanding the Level 2 Rating
Commonly published Level 2 criteria include synthetic blood penetration resistance at 120 mmHg and bacterial and particulate filtration efficiencies of at least 98% under specified laboratory methods. Those figures describe tested performance, not a guarantee that a wearer inhales 98% fewer particles. They do not establish a tight facial seal.
Check the supplied manufacturer’s label and supporting documentation for its claimed standard edition and results. This variable-brand listing does not provide a single manufacturer test report covering every shipment. Do not assume sterility, latex content, layer count or FDA clearance from the Level 2 designation alone.
Use and Replacement
Cover the nose and mouth and adjust the nosepiece as directed. Replace the mask if it becomes wet, damaged, soiled or difficult to breathe through. Handle it by the earloops during removal, discard after use and clean your hands. Follow facility procedures for disposal and replacement between patient encounters. For recurring orders, compare the received packaging with your approved purchasing specification before distributing masks to staff. Keep manufacturer instructions available where masks are issued.
FAQ: ASTM Level 2 Masks
Will every order contain the same brand?
No. Manufacturers vary with inventory. Confirm the available product before ordering when brand consistency matters.
Are these guaranteed to be USA-made?
No. Country of origin depends on the masks supplied. Request confirmation when domestic sourcing is required.
Is Level 2 the highest fluid barrier level?
No. Level 3 uses a higher fluid-resistance test pressure. Select the level required for the assessed procedure.
Can these masks be washed and reused?
No. These are disposable masks. Washing is not a substitute for replacing a used mask.
