3M 1860 N95 Mask Series Overview
The 3M 1860 N95 Surgical and Respirator Masks are fluid-resistant and have a 99% bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE). These 1860 Series 3M 1860 and 3M 1860S N95 masks meet and exceed the specifications set by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and are therefore safe for use in healthcare environments. In addition to this stamp of approval, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), certified its effectivenessness in protecting against exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Some comfort features include a cup-shaped bevel that makes this respirator collapse-resistant. Two braided elastic bands secure the mask to the wearers face, and a metal piece bends to the unique shape of the users nose ridge. This ensures the mask stays in place for a sure seal, helping to reduce the risk of mask adjustments and touching the face. The mask is not made with natural rubber latex to cause possible facial irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I ensure Im wearing it properly?
The mask should fit securely on the wearers face. To ensure optimal efficiency, follow the following steps when applying.
- With the mask resting in the palm of the hand, raise the mask up to the users face. The metal nose piece should line up with the bridge of the wearers nose and the mask should extend beneath the wearers chin.
- Pull the elastic bands over the wearers head. One elastic should rest above the users ears and the other below them.
- Bend the metal nose piece with both hands until it fits the shape of the wearers nose without leaving any gaps. It is important to use two hands for this step as only using one could result in unwanted gaps which could lessen the masks effectiveness.
- Test to ensure the mask is secure and there aren't any gaps between the mask and the wearer's face.
What is the shelf life?
These respirators can last up to 5 years in their unopened packaging if stored in temperatures between -4 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit with 80% relative humidity.
What is the difference between a face mask and a respirator?
Although both are used in medical professions, there are a few key differences between masks and respirators. Surgical masks are fluid-resistant and are intended to protect wearers from potentially harmful microorganisms transmitted from person to person as well as bodily fluids. In addition to fluid protection, respirators filter dangerous particles found in the air. They also have a more snug fit on the wearers face for added protection.
What is the Bacterial Filteration Efficiency (BFE)
This mask successfully filters 99% of airborne bacteria and protects the wearers health with maximum efficiency.
