CAN99 RESPIRATOR

The CAN99™ Surgical Respirator is Vitacore's newest and most advanced particulate respirator. The CAN99™ is Health Canada Authorized, CE Certified under EN149 with FFP3 classification and CSA Certified. It was designed specifically for Canadian healthcare and frontline workers to provide the highest level of protection. The CAN99™ is manufactured at Vitacore’s Burnaby BC facility. The CAN99™ is currently available exclusively to public healthcare and frontline workers. 

CAN99™ initial independent fit testing demonstrates some of the highest fit scores of any respirator ever tested. The CAN99™ has over 99% particulate filtration efficiency (NIOSH), a minimum of 160 mmHg blood penetration resistance (ASTM F2100). Our low inhalation/exhalation resistance creates the best breathability of any mask in its class available on the market. 

The material, assembly and final product testing are independently conducted by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), McMaster University and private lab partners.

	Supporting Canadian Front Line Workers What is a “front line”? It is the line of defense between you and harm’s way. The front line takes the first, and the worst, hits in any dangerous situation. Vitacore puts a line of defense between the front line workers and the risks that they face every day for us -  Health Canada authorized masks and respirators.
	Manufacturing High Quality Products On Canadian Soil Every part of our mask and respirator process is entirely Canadian. Canadian innovation, Canadian manufactured, authorized by Health Canada, and made with full respect for our beautiful Canadian wildlife and environment. The only thing more Canadian is the Maple Leaf and hockey!
	Keeping Us And Our Neighbours Safe Keeping Canadians and all our extended North American family safe from harm so we can all continue to heal, restore, love, work hard, and live securely. Your commitment  to keep safe for yourself and others along with our hard work making quality masks and respirators a perfect partnership. Oh Canada!

FITTING (DONNING) INSTRUCTIONS / DIRECTIVES D’AJUSTEMENT:

1. With nosepiece facing away from you, hold the bottom strap in each hand with the nosepiece up. / La pince nasale face à soi, tenir la courroie inférieure dans chaque main, pince nasale vers le haut.
‍
2. Position the respirator under your chin, pull the bottom strap over your head and position it around the neck, below the ears. / Placer le respirateur sous le menton et passer ensuite la courroie inférieure par dessus la tête et la placer autour du cou, sous les oreilles.

3. Pull the top strap over your head resting it high at the top back of your head. / Tirer la courroie supérieure par-dessus la tête et la placer haut au-dessus de la tête.
‍
4. Place your fingertips from both hands at the top of the metal nosepiece. Using two hands, mold the nose area to the shape of your nose by pushing inward while moving your fingertips down both sides of this nosepiece. Pinching the nosepiece using one hand may result in improper fit and less effective respirator performance. Use two hands. / Placer les doigts des deux mains en haut de la pince nasale métallique. À l’aide des deux mains, modeler la section nasale à la forme du nez en appuyant sur la pince nasale et en imprimant des mouvements vers le bas, des deux côtés de la pince. W Le fait d’utiliser une seule main pour modeler la pince nasale peut résulter en un mauvais ajustement du respira teur et réduire son efficacité. Utiliser les deux mains.

5. Perform a User Seal Check prior to each wearing. To check fit, place both hands completely over the respirator and exhale. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator. If air leaks around the nose, readjust the nosepiece as described in step four. If air leaks at the respirator edges, work the straps back along the sides of your head. If you CANNOT achieve a proper fit, DO NOT enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor. / Effectuer une vérifica- tion de l’ajustement avant chaque utilisation. Afin de vérifier l’ajuste ment du respirateur, placer les deux mains sur le respirateur et expirer. Veiller à ne pas déplacer le respirateur. Si l’on décèle une fuite d’air près du nez, rajuster la position du respirateur comme l’indique l’étape 4. Si l’on décèle une fuite d’air autour des bords du respirateur, rajuster la tension des courroies des deux côtés de la tête. Si l'on NE PEUT obtenir un ajustement parfaitement étanche, NE PAS pénétrer dans la zone ontaminée. Consulter son superviseur.
