Bischoff WE, et al. How well do N95 respirators protect healthcare providers against aerosolized influenza virus?. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2018 Dec 18:1-3.
N95 respirator masks are recommended for protection against respiratory viruses. Despite passing fit-testing 10% of N95 respirator users encountered breakthroughs with exposure to influenza virus compared to full protection provided by a powered air purifying respirator. The current recommendation of N95 respirators should be evaluated for endemic and emerging scenarios.
