\"Conducting<\/a>

Conducting a fit-test with Lucas<\/p><\/div>\n

Lucas is the youngest fit-tester ever tested by our Portacount Pro fit-tester machine so far!<\/p>\n

Lucas was born in the year of rat 2008, making him 5 years 6 months old when he visited us for a fit-test. Not long ago Yixuan, Lucas’ mother, send us a photo of Lucas wearing a Totobobo mask and explained that she couldn’t get it to fit him perfect enough. After checking the photo it is obvious that the mask was too big for Lucas. I offered to to conduct a fit-test help to customize the mask for the little boy.<\/p>\n

Help! Lucas’ Totobobo mask is way too big. Large gaps can be seen below the chin and around the nose bridge. Photo credit: Yixuan<\/p><\/div>\n

Lucas’ mum told us he is a very active boy and makes friends easily with both adults and peers. It was fun to have Lucas since he is very playful and active. However the fit-test part was a bit challenging since Lucas has to keep still and perform certain specific action, such as deep breathing, moving the head steadily side to side and up-and-down. The most difficult action turn out to be “breathing normally”, (that sounds so boring for Lucas) and the easiest was “Talking loudly”.<\/p>\n

\"Optimized<\/a>

We were unable to obtain an uninterrupted routine to pass overall “Fit-factor” of 100. On the other hand, although the result during “Normal breathing” was a poor 20, incidental results of over 100 means that it is possible for Totobobo mask to achieve N95 level performance on a 5 and a half years old. For example, during the task “Head side to side” the fit factor was 107, and another task “Head Up and Down” the fit factor was beyond 200! <\/p>\n
