Test kits and accessories designed to help your organization meet OSHA fit testing requirements for respirators. Products can be used to check face-to-respirator seal on any particulate respirator or gas/vapor respirator with a particulate prefilter.

The fit test works by spraying a sweet or bitter solution into the hood environment. If the wearer does not detect the test agent's taste, an acceptable fit has been demonstrated. Each kit contains: One instruction booklet, one sensitivity solution, one fit test solution, two nebulizers, one hood, one collar assembly and two sets of replacement nebulizer inserts.
