How to Use Solventum (Formerly 3M) N95 1860 Series Particulate Respirator and Surgical Masks
- Cup the respirator in your hand with the nosepiece at fingertips, allowing the head straps to hang freely below hand.
- Position the respirator under your chin with the nosepiece up.
- While holding the respirator in place, pull the top strap over your head so it rests high on the back of your head.
- While continuing to hold the respirator firmly in place, pull the bottom strap over your head and position it around your neck, below your ears. Untwist the straps. Position the respirator low on your nose.
- Using both hands, mold the nosepiece to the shape of your nose by pushing inward while moving your fingertips down both sides of the nosepiece.
- To perform the user seal check, place both hands completely over the respirator, being careful not to disturb the position, and exhale sharply. If air leaks around your nose, adjust the nosepiece as described in step 5. If air leaks at respirator edges, adjust the straps back along the sides of your head.

What is the respiratory protection for surgical applications?
It is the responsibility of the healthcare organization to determine acceptability of any respirator to help protect their personnel and ensure compliance with the respiratory protection program requirements of the U.S. Federal and/or State OSHA. The healthcare organization must also determine which tasks are considered “surgical procedures,” and if respiratory protection is required for these surgical procedures, they would need to use FDA-cleared surgical N95 respirators for those tasks and a parenthetical (or other configurations approved for emergency use).
Are 3M N95 masks reusable?
N95 filtering face piece respirators can be reused until they are dirty, damaged, or difficult to breathe through. You should inspect your N95 respirator before each time you put it on. If the straps or noseclip are broken, it’s torn, dirty, or otherwise damaged, then you should dispose of it.
When should I change my 3M mask filter?
[Particule Filters should be replaced] when the breathing resistance becomes excessive to the wearer, if any damage occurs, and if it become unhygienic.
Are N95 masks the best for COVID?
Any common face mask provides significant protection against the virus that causes COVID-19, but N95 masks are most effective at slashing the amount emitted by infected people, according to a University of Maryland-led study released Wednesday. So-called “duckbill” N95 masks scored highest in the study, which measured the exhaled breath of participants who were tested both masked and unmasked to measure comparative outputs of SARS-CoV-2. The inexpensive masks, which have two head straps and a horizontal seam, captured 98% of exhaled virus, according to the study published in eBioMedicine.
