ARNING

is respirator helps protect against non-oil particle contaminants. It may not eliminate the risk of contracting disease or infection. Misuse may result in sickness

or death. Materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s skin could cause allergic reactions to susceptible individuals. FOR MORE INFORMATION

or assistance please contact with Manufacturer.

FITT

ING INSTRUCTIONS

Follow these instructions each time respirator is worn.

1. Open the respirator and hold in one hand with the nosepiece at your fingertips, allowing the headbands to hang below your hand.

2. Press the respirator against your face with the nosepiece on the bridge of your nose.

3. Place the top band high on the back of your head. Move the bottom band over your head and position it below your ears.

4. Place your two fingertips from both hands at the top of the metal nosepiece. Using two hands mold the nose area to the shape of your nose by pushing

inward while moving your fingertips down both sides of the nosepiece.

Warning: Pinching the nosepiece using one hand may result in improper fit and less effective respirator performance. Use two hands.

5. Fit-check the face-seal as follows:

• Place both hands over the respirator without disturbing its position.；

• Exhale sharply, around the nose and other edge should not be felt air-leak

；

• If air leaks from the nose place, please re-adjust the nosepiece fellow step 4, if other area air leaks, please re-adjust head straps position.

WARNING: If you cannot achieve satisfactory fit, do NOT enter the contaminated area. See your Supervisor.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Failure to follow all instructions and limitations concerning the use of the respirator and/or failure to wear the respirator for the whole duration of exposure to

contaminants can seriously reduce the performance characteristics of the respirator and lead to illness, injury or death.

2. Before use, the wearer must first be trained by the employer in the correct use of the respirator in accordance with applicable safety and health standards.

3. OSHA standards including 29CFR1910.134 (e) (5) and CSA standard Z94.4-93 require that the wearer be fit-tested.

4. Discard the respirator and replace with a new one if:

• Excessive clogging of the respirator causes breathing difficulty.

• The respirator becomes damaged.

5. Leave the contaminated area if dizziness, irritation or other distress occurs.

6. This respirator has been tested and small punctures within ultrasonic welding areas are normal and do not interfere with the respirator compliance with Part

84 approval requirements: (A) filtering facepieces are to be inspected prior to each use to assure there are no holes in a breathing zone other than the

punctures within ultrasonic welding areas and no damage has occurred, and (B) enlarged holes resulting from ripped or torn filter material within ultrasonic

welding areas punctures are considered damage.

Special Instruction Section

Information regarding the manufacturer and approval holder for the N95 respirator model.

This document describes the MS8225 filtering facepiece respirator, a device designed to help protect against certain non-oil particulate contaminants. It is approved under TC-84A-7447 and manufactured for Liaoning Shengjingtang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Function Description

The MS8225 respirator functions as a particulate filter, specifically an N95 class respirator, indicating a 95% filter efficiency level against particulate aerosols that are free of oil. Its primary purpose is to provide respiratory protection in environments where non-oil-based particulate contaminants are present. It is crucial to understand that while it offers protection against particles, it does not eliminate the risk of contracting disease or infection, and its misuse can lead to serious health consequences, including sickness or death. The respirator is not designed for protection against gases or vapors, nor is it suitable for atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen or those that are immediately dangerous to life or health. It should not be used in concentrations of contaminants exceeding maximum use concentrations established by applicable OSHA standards or government regulations, or 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), whichever is lower. Furthermore, it is not intended for sandblasting, paint-spray operations, or asbestos exposure.

Usage Features

The MS8225 respirator is designed for straightforward use, but strict adherence to fitting instructions and use limitations is paramount for effective protection. Before any occupational use, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented, complying with local government requirements, including medical evaluation, training, and fit testing as per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.

Fitting Instructions:

Preparation: Open the respirator and hold it in one hand with the nosepiece at your fingertips, allowing the headbands to hang below your hand.
Positioning: Press the respirator against your face, ensuring the nosepiece rests on the bridge of your nose.
Headband Placement: Place the top headband high on the back of your head. Move the bottom headband over your head and position it below your ears.
Nosepiece Molding: Using two fingertips from both hands, mold the metal nosepiece to the shape of your nose by pushing inward and moving your fingertips down both sides. It is critical to use two hands for this step; pinching with one hand can result in improper fit and reduced respirator performance.
Fit-Check: After positioning, place both hands over the respirator without disturbing its position. Exhale sharply. No air leaks should be felt around the nose or other edges. If air leaks are detected around the nose, re-adjust the nosepiece as described in step 4. If leaks are felt elsewhere, re-adjust the head straps. If a satisfactory fit cannot be achieved, the user must not enter the contaminated area and should consult their supervisor.

Key Usage Limitations and Warnings:

The respirator must not be modified or misused.
It cannot be used with beards or other facial hair that interferes with direct contact between the face and the edge of the respirator, or any other conditions that prevent a good face-seal.
Materials in contact with the wearer's skin could cause allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.
Failure to follow all instructions and limitations, or failure to wear the respirator for the entire duration of exposure, can severely reduce its performance and lead to illness, injury, or death.
Users must be trained by their employer in the correct use of the respirator in accordance with applicable safety and health standards.
Fit-testing is required as per OSHA and CSA standards.
The respirator is not evaluated by NIOSH for use as surgical masks.

Maintenance Features

The MS8225 respirator is designed for single-use and is not intended for maintenance or cleaning. It is a disposable filtering facepiece respirator.

Key Maintenance and Replacement Guidelines:

Discard and Replace: The respirator must be discarded and replaced with a new one if:
- Excessive clogging makes breathing difficult.
- The respirator becomes damaged.
Inspection: Prior to each use, the respirator must be inspected to ensure there are no holes in the breathing zone other than the normal punctures within ultrasonic welding areas. Any enlarged holes resulting from ripped or torn filter material within ultrasonic welding areas are considered damage, and the respirator should not be used. Small punctures within ultrasonic welding areas are normal and do not interfere with compliance with Part 84 approval requirements.
Leaving Contaminated Area: Users should immediately leave the contaminated area if they experience dizziness, irritation, or other distress.
No Modifications: Users must never substitute, modify, add, or omit parts of the respirator. Only exact replacement parts, if applicable (though this is a disposable unit), should be used in the configuration specified by the manufacturer.
Refer to Instructions: Users should always refer to the User's Instructions and any maintenance manuals for information on the use and maintenance of these respirators.

This respirator is a critical safety device, and its effectiveness relies entirely on correct selection, proper fitting, and strict adherence to all instructions and limitations provided by the manufacturer and regulatory bodies.
