What is the life of a PAPR filter? When do I know when to change the filter?
The life of Shadowaire filters are dependent on work environment factors such as humidity and the combination/concentration of particulate, vapors, and gases. NIOSH recommends designating a “competent individual” to monitor filters based on data collected from an on-site safety specialist or industrial hygienist.
IMPORTANT: How often does the MAXAIR System’s filter need to be changed?
It depends upon the application, the frequency of use and the hospital’s protocol for the prevention of cross contamination.
In addition, due to its self-monitoring system, the yellow LED will illuminate when airflow intake nears the threshold of 6 cfm (170 lpm), allowing the user ample time to exit the working environment, and change out the filter.
