00:00.370 --> 00:02.440
- [Narrator] This is a
how to video on how to use

00:02.440 --> 00:05.350
the 3M N95 respirator.

00:05.350 --> 00:07.360
Step one, washing hands.

00:07.360 --> 00:10.930
Ensure 20 seconds of adequate
hand washing prior to use.

00:10.930 --> 00:14.090
Step two, cup the mask in
your hand, paying particular

00:14.090 --> 00:15.950
attention to not touch the front.

00:15.950 --> 00:18.090
And allow the headbands to rest.

00:18.090 --> 00:20.460
Step three, perform pre-use inspection.

00:20.460 --> 00:23.250
Check the bands for any fraying or cuts,

00:23.250 --> 00:26.016
and that they still have elasticity.

00:26.016 --> 00:28.100
Check along the seal to
ensure that there is no

00:28.100 --> 00:29.400
cuts or fraying.

00:29.400 --> 00:31.230
Check on the inside, and on the outside

00:31.230 --> 00:33.300
for any foreign objects or debris.

00:33.300 --> 00:35.320
Step four, place the
respirator to the bottom

00:35.320 --> 00:37.410
of your chin, and rotate
it up to your nose.

00:37.410 --> 00:40.650
Step five, pull the upper
headband over your head

00:40.650 --> 00:43.200
and place above the ear line.

00:43.200 --> 00:46.540
Step 6, pull the bottom
headband over your head

00:46.540 --> 00:48.926
and let it rest at the base of your head,

00:48.926 --> 00:50.803
and the top of your neck.

00:52.000 --> 00:55.290
Step seven, adjust so
that it is comfortable.

00:55.290 --> 00:57.744
Step eight, use your hands
to conform to the nose,

00:57.744 --> 01:00.750
by only touching the nasal
seal and pressing down.

01:00.750 --> 01:03.840
Take note, your respirator
may not have a metallic nasal

01:03.840 --> 01:07.198
seal like this one, however
pressing down should conform

01:07.198 --> 01:09.530
to the nose just as effectively.

01:09.530 --> 01:12.640
Step 9, adjust the headbands
and the face mask accordingly.

01:12.640 --> 01:14.580
Step 10, perform a quick seal check.

01:14.580 --> 01:16.370
Place hands over the sides of the mask and

01:16.370 --> 01:17.410
do a quick breath in.

01:17.410 --> 01:20.120
You should feel the seal
of the mask collapse.

01:20.120 --> 01:21.040
Do an exhale.

01:21.040 --> 01:23.080
Air shouldn't go out the
sides and you should feel the

01:23.080 --> 01:24.180
air out the front.

01:24.180 --> 01:27.220
Step eleven, wash your hands.

01:27.220 --> 01:28.500
So let's go over the steps again.

01:28.500 --> 01:30.130
Step one, wash hands.

01:30.130 --> 01:32.460
Step two, cup the mask.

01:32.460 --> 01:34.617
Step three, perform a pre-use inspection.

01:34.617 --> 01:37.479
Step four, place at
the bottom of your chin

01:37.479 --> 01:39.335
and rotate up to nose.

01:39.335 --> 01:42.430
Step five, pull over the upper band.

01:42.430 --> 01:45.802
Step six, pull over the bottom band.

01:45.802 --> 01:48.360
Step seven, adjust.

01:48.360 --> 01:50.230
Step eight, conform to nose.

01:50.230 --> 01:52.160
Step nine, adjust.

01:52.160 --> 01:54.571
Step ten, perform a quick seal check.

01:54.571 --> 01:56.993
Step eleven, wash hands.
