Inclusion Criteria

  • Any health care worker or SA Health employee who has undergone quantitative fit testing. Purposeful randomised sampling of the SALHN WHS database will be performed to select n=85 participants who have previously failed quantitative N95 fit testing (who will become the interventional group receiving a 3D-printed facial guard plus P2/N95). A second group of n=85 participants who have previously passed quantitative fit tests will be selected for re-testing with P2/N95 masks as a control group, to ensure that a contemporaneous control group is analysed under the same conditions as the interventional group.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Are based on current exclusions from SA Health fit testing guidelines: (i) Active asthma or respiratory condition requiring treatment may be a relative contraindication to fit testing; (ii) Pregnancy; (iii) Active upper respiratory tract infection, fever, or other suspected infection.
