Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study examines the role of variations in the dimensions of facial features on the fitted filtering efficiency of face coverings available to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 100 young (18-55 years old) healthy participants will be recruited. Exclusionary criteria include pregnancy and breastfeeding. After informed consent, participants will enter a chamber where they will undergo 3D facial scanning using a dedicated camera system and be trained to don an N95 respirator properly. The fitted filtering efficiency (FFE) of 4 types of face coverings: a N95 respirator, a KN95 respirator (with and without a clip), a surgical mask (with and without a clip), and a KF94 respirator (with and without a clip) will be tested on each participant using the OSHA quantitative fit testing protocol for filtering face pieces.
