Medical Uses for Cambridge Masks
I am working in a hospital or clinic, can this mask be suitable for me?
The Cambridge Mask is not suitable to be worn my members of a healthcare team while they are in a hospital setting. It is crucial for health care workers to use single-use items that they can dispose of after contact with patients. Please consult with the hospital you work with for the infection control policy when dealing with infected patients.
Cambridge Masks are recommended to use in order to reduce your risk of respiratory infections while you are in public settings (eg. Supermarkets, commuting, schools, offices, etc.) or around people with respiratory infections. Additionally, you can protect yourself by maintaining a good level of hand hygiene, avoiding crowds, and social distancing (airborne transmission of respiratory pathogens is reduced significantly over a distance of greater than 2m).
How many hours is the mask effective for?
Please find below the usage guidelines for the recommended hours of use before the mask needs replacing. We have based the guidelines according to the use of the mask against air pollution. For example, the AQI in Blackpool is typically good or moderately unhealthy which means that the mask can be replaced after it has been worn for 340 hours. You can fund your local area’s AQI through a simple Google search.
