DESCRIPTION
The 3M™ 1860 Health Care Particulate Respirator and Surgical Mask is designed to help provide
respiratory protection for the wearer. This product has a filter efficiency level of 95% or greater against
particulate aerosols free of oil1. It is fluid resistant, disposable and may be worn in surgery. It can fit a
wide range of face sizes.
This product contains no components made from natural rubber latex.
INTENDED USE: This product meets CDC guidelines for
Mycobacterium tuberculosis exposure control.
As a respirator, it is intended to reduce wearer exposure to certain airborne particles in a size range of 0.1
to >10.0 microns, including those generated by electrocautery, laser surgery, and other powered medical
instruments. As a surgical mask, it is designed to be fluid resistant to splash and spatter of blood and
other infectious materials; when worn properly and in combination with protective eyewear, it complies
with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. It also provides >99% BFE2 against wearer generated
micro-organisms.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Not for industrial use. Not for use with beards or other facial hair that
prevents direct contact between the face and the sealing surface of the respirator. OSHA has not set a
permissible exposure level for airborne biohazards.
USE INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Before use for respiratory protection, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented
meeting all requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.139 and/or 1910.134 such as medical evaluation,
training and fit testing. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met. The 3M
saccharin (sweet) or Bitrix™ (bitter)qualitative fit test is recommended for this respirator. When used
only as a surgical mask, fit testing is not required.
2. Respirator may be used until damaged, breathing becomes difficult, or contaminated with blood or
body fluids. Otherwise, it may be stored and reused according to the facility’s infection control policy.
3. Filtering facepieces are to be inspected prior to each use to assure there are no holes in the breathing
zone other than the punctures around staples and no damage has occurred. Enlarged holes resulting
from ripped or torn filter material around staple punctures are considered damage. Immediately
replace respirator if damaged. Staple perforations do not affect NIOSH approval.
4. Discard after every use when used for surgical procedures.
