Disposable medical masks belong to a category of medical masks with lower protection requirements, but they still have much higher protection requirements than civilian cotton masks, activated carbon masks, and sunscreen masks. How to determine whether it is a disposable medical mask?

The name "disposable medical mask" on the outer package cannot be omitted. This is a strict standard. If the name is "disposable mask" or "ordinary medical mask", you should pay attention! This is not a medical device respirator that can provide you with protection as mentioned in the guidelines.

In addition, disposable medical masks are mainly composed of three layers of non-woven fabrics. The inner layer is a common non-woven fabric, which is mainly used to absorb the moisture and water released by the wearer; The outer layer is a non-woven fabric with waterproof treatment, which is mainly used to isolate the liquid ejected by patients; The intermediate layer is the core filter layer, which uses polypropylene melt blown non-woven fabric as a barrier to prevent bacteria. It can be seen that the outer layer of the medical mask that meets the requirements should be waterproof, which is one of the standards that can be used to judge whether the medical mask is qualified.

Two points should be achieved when purchasing masks

1. When purchasing masks, you should purchase them in a regular store with a Class II Medical Device Business Record Certificate.

2. When purchasing, check whether there are medical device registration number, production batch number, production date, product performance and structure, scope of application, precautions and other information on the package. These information are required by laws and regulations. If these information is incomplete, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of respirators.
