Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of filtration efficiency measurement, and in particular to a method for quickly testing the bacterial filtration efficiency of a mask. Background Art

[0002] Medical surgical masks are widely used in high-demand environments such as medical clinics, laboratories, and operating rooms. They protect against the spread of blood, body fluids, and splashes during invasive procedures. They have a relatively high safety factor and strong barrier capabilities against bacteria and viruses. To ensure the safety and comfort of wearing masks, regulations have been made on the gas exchange performance, particle filtration performance, and bacterial filtration performance of masks.

[0003] The bacterial filtration efficiency of a mask refers to the ability of the mask to filter out bacterial particles under specified conditions, among which the Staphylococcus aureus method is the most widely used. However, the existing testing equipment uses a set of sampling gas circuits to first sample without a mask at the sampler end, then sample again after adding a mask to the sampler end, and then culture and count the samples of the two samples. The filtration efficiency of the mask is determined by comparing the number of colonies in the two samples; however, since the two samplings are not carried out at the same time, the conditions during the two samplings will not be completely consistent, resulting in deviations in the accuracy of the test data. Multiple tests at the same time also make the test process more cumbersome. For this reason, we propose a method for quickly testing the bacterial filtration efficiency of masks.
