Reusable up to 40 hours if the straps don’t give way and you’re not making them disgusting or losing the seal

I do about 20 in each of mine before I toss em. a work week at my part time job

I think the 40 hours thing might be made up in this very thread.

no mask manufacturer, to my knowledge, advises reusing the masks at all (convenient for their profits, eh???). for ones that I have looked at, like powecoms, it basically says all bets are off the moment you take it off the first time.

obviously ymmv but keep in mind.

Lmfao, she is incredibly stupid and poised to be in the majority soon.

This reminds me how Joe Biden believes we are on a path to zero-cancer.

He does not believe zero-covid is possible.

it's from march 2020 and early studies for hospital staff to reuse PPE. mask nerd aaron has recommended 40 hours of use too, based on his testing.

the failure mode for these types of filters is that they get more clogged up and don't breathe as well as they did at the start--they don't fail into a state where they filter worse. (they will however fail in that way if you clean them with alcohol or some cleaners that destroy the charge of the plastic filter media)

the bigger concern with reuse is bacteria growth. UV light like sunlight can help but ultimately it will be a problem over the long term. 40 hours is an easy to understand unit for most folks

The largest multi-institutional international study to date on brain complications of COVID-19 has found that approximately one in 100 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 will likely develop complications of the central nervous system. These can include stroke, hemorrhage, and other potentially fatal complications. The study is being presented tomorrow at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Hoping that our medical diagnostic is actually advanced enough for this not to be a low estimate.

yeah I’m actually not sure of the 40 hour thing that specifically but all the user instructions say "can be used until damaged, contaminated, or breathing becomes difficult" and there’s other subsections that say it can be stored after use

personal comfort, imo, like I said my poo poo is good til about the 20 hour mark at which point it gets gunked up e: gunk from my face lol not like… I don’t live in a spray paint facility

So is this 40 total hours of it (contiguous or not) being strapped to your face, or 40 hours from the second that you strap it to your face?

the former. the condition of the filter material does NOT degrade with time, it degrades with use time as it simply accrues more particles and gets clogged and less efficient.

this is in contrast to organic vapor or other chemical filters which DO degrade upon exposure to any air at all.

not to dismiss this idea completely, but earlier in that thread, the data appeared to be all comparative among historical cases in Gauteng Province

I got it from a podcast Osterholm does

though working in the plague pits at 16+ hrs a day, I used a fresh aura per day, but that was based on fit and freshness. there's no measure like "hard to breath, time for new filters" like in a half mask with p100s

our kids refresh their kn94s once a week
