TSI Announces Next-Generation PortaCount® Respirator Fit Tester Platform with Built-in Intelligence

TSI Incorporated, a global leader in respirator fit testing instrumentation, is pleased to announce the next-generation PortaCount® Respirator Fit Tester platform. Designed to support more of the respiratory protection program, the new PortaCount platform combines the industry's best respirator fit test with intelligent features that reduce program frustrations, distractions and delays.

The new PortaCount Respirator Fit Tester platform features real-time FitCheck™ functions, animated tutorials and pre-test training to prepare individuals for fit testing and improve proper respirator donning. Once the fit test begins, exercise animations streamline the process, resulting in a better fit test for more staff with less effort. In addition to accurately fit testing any respirator from full-facepiece respirators to N95 masks, the next-generation PortaCount platform also offers options for productivity and support tools such as advanced reporting and data management, email notifications, and technical support.

"Building on the PortaCount Fit Tester's long tradition of excellence, we're excited about the new tools that will help our customers enhance the safety of their employees while improving their fit test productivity," states Troy Tillman, TSI Business Director.  "For example, the new PortaCount platform offers 'one step to a fit test', real-time FitCheck for employees to pre-check mask sizes, and animated tutorials that guide employees through a fit test for more consistent results. With many additional features for respirator training, fit testing and program support, it's a platform that customers can get excited about."

The next-generation PortaCount platform allows customers to select from two respirator fit tester models, multiple FitPro™ Ultra software levels and FitPro Link data-integration applications, providing multiple options to match any respiratory protection program need.
