Effectiveness of N95 Respirator Decontamination and Reuse against SARS-CoV-2 Virus.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The coronavirus pandemic has created worldwide shortages of N95 respirators. We analyzed 4 decontamination methods for effectiveness in deactivating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus and effect on respirator function. Our results indicate that N95 respirators can be decontaminated and reused, but the integrity of respirator fit and seal must be maintained.
