Respirator Fit Testers

Why Quantitative Fit Testing?

There are two main types of fit testing: qualitative (QLFT) and quantitative (QNFT).

• Qualitative (QLFT): This is a pass/fail test that relies on the wearer's subjective sense of taste or smell to detect leakage of a test agent. It does not provide a numerical measurement of the fit.
• Quantitative (QNFT): This method uses an instrument, like the PortaCount™ Fit Tester, to measure the actual amount of leakage into the respirator. The result is an objective, numerical "fit factor."

QNFT is widely recognized as a more precise and reliable method. It removes the subjectivity and potential for error inherent in qualitative tests. With the PortaCount™ Fit Tester, you get an unambiguous, data-driven result that you can rely on.

The PortaCount® Advantage: Speed, Accuracy, and Versatility

TSI's PortaCount® Respirator Fit Tester is the market leader for a reason. It is designed to make the fit testing process faster, easier, and more reliable.

• One Instrument, All Respirators: The PortaCount™ Fit Tester can test all types of respirators, including N95s, half-face masks, full-face masks, and powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs). This eliminates the need for multiple instruments and simplifies your program.
• Real-Time Feedback: The instrument's animated fit testing steps guide the wearer through the exercise protocol on-screen, providing real-time feedback that can help them achieve a better fit.
• Automated Workflow: The FitPro™ Ultra Fit Test Software automates the entire testing process, from record keeping to instrument control. This streamlines administration, reduces testing time, and minimizes the chance of human error.
• Compliance and Record-Keeping: The software securely stores all your fit test records, making it easy to demonstrate compliance during an audit. You can quickly look up an employee's fit test history, see when they are due for their next test, and print fit test cards.

By implementing the PortaCount® Respirator Fit Tester, you are investing in a more efficient, effective, and defensible respiratory protection program. Help your workers stay safe and support your facility's compliance goals with the most trusted name in quantitative fit testing.
