Intelligent Fit Test solutions: ‘The Proven Fit Tester’

PortaCount® Respirator Fit Testers combine real-time and real-world measurements to advance respirator safety beyond the capabilities of any other fit tester. They play a vital role in your respiratory protection program, supporting the entire fit test process from training and mask selection to compliance reporting.

By utilising the most efficient and rapid quantitative fit testing method available, PortaCount Fit Testers ensure safety by identifying poorly fitting masks accurately. In less than 2½ minutes, they deliver a consistent and objective OSHA-compliant respirator fit test. These fit testers offer industry-first features that educate staff on how to wear respirators for maximum protection. Moreover, they go beyond the fit test, enabling users to observe how a respirator’s fit changes in real-time during donning and adjustment, providing valuable training and simplifying mask selection.

Measure safety in action

The PortaCount® Respirator Fit Testing equipment evaluates respirator fit while the user engages in dynamic activities such as moving, breathing, and talking, replicating real-life movements in work conditions. The instrument provides clear instructions, guiding users through the fit test process. Once the fit test is finished, generating reports becomes a straightforward task.

The PortaCount Respirator Fit Tester Model 8048 provides a consistent and objective testing experience across all respirator types, including all N95 filtering facepieces. FitCheck® Mode shows in real-time how respirator fit changes throughout donning and adjustment, helping users select the suitable mask and identify the best fit more quickly. Video animations guide staff through proper fit test exercise movements during a fit test, providing a consistent testing experience and freeing fit test administrators to multitask. Group fit testing allows administrators to test up to four personnel with four PortaCounts simultaneously.
