Easy@Home® KN95 Face Mask (Model: FM1-4plus)
The Easy@Home® KN95 Face Mask is a personal protective device designed to offer protection against dust, large particles, and anti-inhalation allergens such as pollen. This user manual provides comprehensive instructions for its use, filter replacement, and general maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
Function Description
The primary function of the Easy@Home® KN95 Face Mask is to filter airborne particles, thereby reducing the wearer's exposure to environmental contaminants. It achieves this through a multi-layered design that includes a mask body, a replaceable filter, a strap for secure fitting, and a metal nose clip for a customized seal. The mask is intended for general use in environments where protection against particulate matter is desired.
Important Technical Specifications
Filtration Efficiency:
- BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency): >98%
- PFE (Non-oily Particle Filtration Efficiency): >95%
These high filtration efficiencies indicate the mask's effectiveness in blocking both bacterial and non-oily particulate matter, making it suitable for various protective applications.
Product Component:
The mask consists of three main components:
- Mask body: The main structure of the mask that houses the filter and provides the overall shape.
- Strap: Elastic bands designed to secure the mask comfortably around the ears.
- Nose clip: A malleable metal strip integrated into the mask to allow for a custom fit over the bridge of the nose, enhancing the seal and preventing air leakage.
Shelf Life:
- 36 months: The recommended duration for storage, ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of the mask components.
Packing:
- Each pack contains 1 Mask + 4 Filters. This provision of multiple filters highlights the mask's reusable design, where the main mask body can be retained while the filter is replaced.
Usage Features
The Easy@Home® KN95 Face Mask is designed for ease of use, with clear, step-by-step instructions for both initial setup and filter replacement.
Initial Setup and Wearing Instructions:
- Preparation: Remove the protective clip from the mask and gently stretch the mask body. Ensure that the metal nosepiece is positioned at the top of the mask.
- Filter Application: Apply the provided filter to the inner side of the mask. This step is crucial for the mask's filtration capabilities.
- Positioning: Place the mask over your nose and mouth, ensuring full coverage.
- Securing: Pull the straps around both ears to secure the mask firmly in place.
- Nosepiece Adjustment: Fix the metal nosepiece to conform to the shape of your nose area. This creates a tight seal and minimizes air leakage.
- Leakage Check: Perform a seal check by covering your mouth and nose with both hands and exhaling. If air leaks around the nose, readjust the nosepiece until a satisfactory seal is achieved.
Filter Replacement Instructions:
The mask features a replaceable filter system, extending the life of the mask body.
- Remove Old Filter: Tear off the packaging paper bag of the new filter and carefully take out the filter.
- Unfold Filter: Unfold the new filter along its overlap to form a three-dimensional shape, preparing it for insertion.
- Attach Filter: Tear off the paper on the two sides of the filter. Stick these two sides of the filter to the inner layer of the mask, ensuring it is securely attached and properly positioned for filtration.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the Easy@Home® KN95 Face Mask. The manual provides specific recommendations for storage and usage.
Storage Recommendations:
- Environment: Store the mask at room temperature, away from moisture and water.
- Packaging: The mask should be stored in its sealed individual package to prevent contamination and damage.
- Recycling/Reuse: If the mask is to be recycled or reused (referring to the mask body when filters are replaced), it should be stored in a clean, open paper bag. If necessary, the mask body can be rinsed with clean water and hung in a clean, dry, and ventilated place to dry.
Usage Recommendations:
- Hand Hygiene: Always wash your hands thoroughly before wearing the mask and avoid touching the inside of the mask during wear to prevent contamination.
