Technical Instructions for Civil Surgeons

Respirator Quantitative Fit Test

This test ensures the proper fit on the wearer's face of a half-mask or full facepiece respirator. These respirators use disposable filter cartridges and are worn by workers exposed to toxic chemicals and fumes such asbestos removal. insecticide spraying, fumigation, fire fighters etc.

The test utilizes the TSI Portacount Instrument to detemine the Fit factor: The portacout fills the room with alcohol droplets, then determines the ratio of alcohol droplets in the room to those inside the mask. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires A minimum fit factor of at least 100 for a half-mask respirator and at least 500 for a full facepiece negative pressure respirator.

A Quantitative Fit test can also be done on an N95 mask, however, it cannot be used afterwards for respiratory protection as a probe needs to be punched through the mask in order to conduct the Quantitative Fit test

Respirator Qualitative Fit Test

This test utilizes a bitter solution to determine if a disposable face mask (P95, N95) properly fits on the face. The mask wearer puts on the mask then a hood is placed to cover the mask wearer's head. A bitter solution is sprayed through the opening of the hood. If the mask wearer can taste the bitter solution, the mask does properly fit and a different size mask may provide a better seal

Spirometry

Spirometry measures the volume and/or speed of air that can be exhaled. This is compared to the normal, taking into account the subject's sex, age, height and weight. It is a useful measure to determine if lung function is compromized due to disease or adverse environmental exposure.

Our spirometer is the MIR (Medical Internation Research) Spirolab. It features a disposable turbine after each use in order to avoid contamination, a Touch Screen and Blue Tooth communication to our server.

EKG

EKG, or ECG (Elctro Cardiography) is the recording of the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed on the skin. This recording can detect abnormalities of the heart rhythm, enlargement of the heart or prior heart attack.

Our EKG is the Atria 6100. This machine utilizes the University of Glasgow interpretive analysis program. The program factors in Age, Gender, and Race. Wireless capability provides efficient transmission of the EKG to our server.

We have been doing EKG's for airline pilots for many years.

Audiometry

Audiometry is a hearing test to evaluate hearing ability. As some workers are exposed to high noise levels in the workplace (for example construction), evaluation of hearing is recommended at routine intervals to differentiate age related hearing loss from accelerated hearing loss due to exposure to high noise levels.

Our audiometer is the Inventis Harp which is capable of testing pure tone as well as speech audiometry. The audiometer is PC enabled and can generate reports of the hearing test.
