Noninvasive, quantitative respirator fit testing through dynamic pressure measurement / David R. Carpenter and Klaus Willeke
Sumario: A new method has been invented for the noninvasive and quantitative determination of fit for a respirator. The test takes a few seconds and requires less expensive instrumentation than presently used for invasive testing. In this test, the breath is held at a negative pressure for a few seconds, and the leak-induced pressure decay inside the respirator cavity is monitored
