Commonly Asked Questions

Question:

How is a respirator different from a surgical mask?

Answer:

Surgical masks are designed to help reduce patient or health care worker exposures

from wearer-generated microorganisms. Fluid resistant masks also help reduce

potential exposure of the wearer to blood and body fluids.

Respirators are designed to help protect the wearer from certain airborne contaminants.

They also have a snug fit around the face to help avoid leaks where contaminants may

enter. Most surgical masks do not have the same filtering capability and typically do not

have the same snug fit and, consequently, cannot replace respirators in helping provide

respiratory protection. The 1860 and 1870 3M Particulate Respirator and Surgical

Masks are both certified as a respirator by NIOSH and are cleared to be used as

surgical masks in the OR by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Question:

Are the 1860, 1860S and 1870 respirators appropriate for reducing exposure to M.

tuberculosis?

Answer:

These particulate respirators are appropriate where the use of an N95 respirator is

recommended. They meet the criteria for a respirator

given in the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC) Guidelines for Preventing the Transmission of

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Health Care Facilities, 1994. OSHA accepts the use of

an N95 respirator during occupational exposure to TB.
