AirPro Mask Q&A

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTONS

Does the AirPro Mask Powered Air-Purifying Respirator prevent COVID-19?
No, it can’t stop or prevent it, but neither can 3M KN95 mask. The mask is designed to decrease the risk to a great deal, reaching ≥95% filtration efficiency, but not 100% prevention.
What happens to the expelled air? The AirPro Mask  has an inhalation valve only, HEPA filtered air is delivered to the mask.  The fan, even on high speed, does not blow the air outside the mask, and exhaled air is filtered by the KN95 mask with a 95% filtration rate as per CDC guidelines.

How do I assemble the respirator?

  • Insert the plastic mask joint through the mask and connect the tube on the other side. *Please do not insert the tube through the mask first.
  • Connect the USB cable to a power source (many use the plug for their cellphone), and connect to the USB port on the side of the case. You will see the battery indicator lights. Charging time is 2-3 hours.
  • When the AirPro is fully charged, let it run for two hours before wearing to prime the filter.
  • When wearing, hold the power button on the side of the case for 2 seconds, then you can adjust between three different fan speeds.

How long can I wear the disposable mask?
Can I use my own KN95/N95 respirator masks with the AirPro? Yes, the mask is replaceable.  You can order replacement masks from Amazon, or use another N95/KN95 mask and cut a hole in the mask.

Can the tube fit over the valve on my own mask?

The AirPro Mask and tubes were not designed to fit over the valves or vents of other powered respirators. The diameter size of the tube is approximately .5 inches.
The CDC has recently advised against wearing powered respirators that have valves or vents that allow exhaled air to be expelled out.  Note the BROAD AirPro Mask does not have an exhalation valve.  The product has an inhalation valve only.

How long does the filter last?
The HEPA filter should be replaced every 500 hours, or about 2 months if using for an 8-hours shift, 5 days a week.  If using infrequently, you can replace the filter every 3-4 months.
