FAQs

What does FFP2 mean?

FFP2 is a European standard classification for respirators, indicating they filter at least 94% of airborne particles.

Can I wash and reuse this respirator?

No, the 3M Aura FFP2 is a disposable respirator and should not be washed or reused. Discard it after use or if it becomes damaged or soiled.

How long can I wear this respirator?

The respirator should be replaced when it becomes difficult to breathe through, is damaged, or is visibly soiled. For specific applications, follow workplace guidelines for respirator replacement.

Is this respirator valved?

No, this is a non-valved respirator, meaning it filters exhaled air as well as inhaled air.

What is the benefit of the three-panel design?

The three-panel design allows the respirator to conform more easily to different face shapes, promoting a better and more comfortable seal.

Do I need a fit test for this respirator?

While the three-panel design aids in achieving a good fit, a proper fit test is recommended, especially for occupational use, to ensure maximum protection.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty breathing

Ensure the respirator is not damaged and that it is fitted correctly. If breathing remains difficult, this respirator may not be suitable for the environment or the user's respiratory capacity. Consider a different model or consult a safety professional.

Respirator feels loose or has air leaks

Adjust the headbands to achieve a snug fit. Ensure hair and facial features are not obstructing the seal. Perform a seal check after adjusting.

Fogging of eyewear

Ensure the respirator is fitted correctly, with the nose clip molded securely to the bridge of the nose. Adjusting eyewear placement may also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Inspect: Before each use, check the respirator for any damage, such as tears or holes.
Fit Check: Hold the respirator in place, ensuring it covers both nose and mouth. Pull the top strap over your head, resting it high on the back of your neck. Pull the bottom strap over your head, positioning it around your neck below the ears.
Seal Check: While exhaling, feel for air leaks around the edges. If leaks are detected, adjust the straps and reposition the respirator until a good seal is achieved.

Ensure the respirator size and shape are appropriate for your facial structure. A professional fit test is recommended for critical applications.
