Webcast Overview
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, N95 respirator masks are in short supply and many providers purchase this critical PPE item from non-traditional international suppliers without insight to product quality.
This webcast from the ECRI lab will focus on:
- Current supply chain disruption
- The difference between KN95 and N95 masks
- The ECRI N95-style testing program, results, and conclusions
- Guidance and recommendations on using KN95 masks
At the conclusion of the webcast, we'll host a Q&A session with ECRI doctors, senior engineers, and subject matter experts.
