Product Information
Full details
The GVS Elipse Source Control Mask is designed for individuals seeking reliable respiratory protection against micro-organisms down to 0.3µ for everyday use. Its key benefit is the integrated Source Control Exhalation Filter, which significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination to others by filtering exhaled air with 99.9% efficiency. A potential consideration is that while designed for low breathing resistance, prolonged or strenuous activity may still lead to user fatigue for some.

Troubleshooting
Mask feels loose or has air leaks
Adjust the headband for a tighter fit. Ensure the mask sits correctly on your face, covering both nose and mouth. Check that the filters are properly attached.
Breathing feels restricted
Check if the filters are clogged or have expired. Replace filters if necessary. Ensure you have selected the correct mask size.
Skin irritation occurs
Clean the mask interior gently. Ensure no debris is trapped. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional, as this may indicate an allergic reaction to the material.
Difficulty hearing with the mask on
This can be a common side effect due to the seal and filter placement. Ensure the mask is fitted correctly. The source control filter is designed to minimize this impact, but some reduction in auditory clarity may occur.
