Who should wear a RespoKare mask?
Anyone who is at an increased risk for severe illnesses arising from Covid-19, and/or exposed to a situation in which COVID-19 spreads easily, i.e. crowded places, close-contact settings, confined and enclosed spaces with poor ventilation such as air crafts, etc.
What are some key differences between a RespoKare mask, surgical mask and N95 mask?
RespoKare vs Surgical mask
Anyone who is at an increased risk for severe illnesses arising from Covid-19, and/or exposed to a situation in which COVID-19 Whereas surgical masks’ topmost layer repel water droplets, the RespoKare mask’s first layer attracts and damages any virus cells, before killing them in the second layer. This effectively eliminates any risk of contamination.
RespoKare vs N95 mask
N95 masks actually stand for the following: to be used in a “non-oil” based particulate environment; 95 per cent efficiency, i.e. filters out at least 95 per cent of airborne particles.
N95 masks need to be fitted to achieve efficient filtration of airborne particles, and still pose a risk of contamination as they do not have anti-viral properties to inactivate viruses. Conversely, the RespoKare mask’s uppermost layers damage and kill virus cells, completely eliminating any risk of contamination.
Can I reuse or clean my RespoKare mask?
N95 masks need to be fitted to achieve efficient filtration of airborne particles, and still pose a risk of contamination as they do not It is inadvisable to reuse the mask for more than a day
How often should I change my RespoKare mask?
It would be best to change it every day
How should I store my RespoKare mask?
Storage in regular mask holders or Ziplock bags is fine
What is the proper way to put on the RespoKare mask?
Loop the ear loops over the ears and place the mask over your mouth, nose and chin – with the dark blue layer facing outwards (i.e. the light blue layer rests on the face)
Bend the flexible nose piece over the contours of your nose bridge, such that the mask sits snugly on the face
