High Particulate Respirators (P2/KN95) Masks
Healthcare workers should prioritise using P2 respirators and other respiratory protection where available. For COVID-19, P2/KN95 masks should be reserved for aerosolised generating procedures (AGP) or where the risk assessment places the patient in airborne precautions.
When there is a high probability of airborne transmission due to the infectious agent or procedure (e.g. bronchoscopy, intubation), sound scientific principles support using P2 respirators to prevent transmission.
P2 respirators are designed to help reduce the wearer’s respiratory exposure to airborne contaminants such as particles, gases or vapours.
While the terms ‘P2 respirator’ and ‘KN95 respirator’ are often used interchangeably in healthcare, they must meet different standards. In Australia, the requirements for P2 respirators are stated in Standard AS/NZS 1716: 2012. The United States (US) National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) sets similar standards for the N95 respirator.
Surgical/Procedural Masks
Considerations when using a surgical mask include:
Masks should be changed between patients and when they become soiled or wet & never reapplied after they have been removed; masks should not be left dangling around the neck; touching the front of the mask while wearing it should be avoided; hand hygiene should be performed upon touching or discarding a used mask.
Surgical masks are classified as level 1 barriers and level 2 barriers.
Level 1 Barrier is for general purpose medical procedures where the wearer is not at risk of blood or body fluid splash or is being used to protect the wearer from droplet exposure from micro-organisms.
Level 2 Barrier is for use in situations where minimal blood exposure may occur and has a higher filtration efficiency and resistance to blood penetration.
