The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office of Acquisition Services (OAS) on behalf of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) has a requirement for analysis to assess Best Practices of Reusable Elastomeric Respirators in Healthcare Settings.
: Reusable Healthcare Elastomeric Respirator (RHER) – Conceptual Prototypes: Qty: 1 EASTATEMENT of WORKBackgroundHealthcare providers are considering the use of reusable filtering ori-nasal masks instead of disposable N95 filter half-masks to mitigate the effect of depleting stocks of disposable masks during times of high demand such as during a pandemic.

_______DRAFT SOW________Elastomeric Respirator Exhaled Breath Filter Adaptors – PrototypesBackgroundHealthcare providers are using reusable Elastomeric Half-Mask Respirators (ENMRs) to mitigate the effect of depleting stocks of disposable Filtering Facepiece Respirators (FFRs); also referred to as “N95 filter masks” at times of high demand such as during a pandemic such as COVID-19.One drawback of EHMRs is potential contamination of the sterile field
Since America’s battle with COVID-19 began, supplies of N95 filtering facepiece respirators, which are the standard face covering when healthcare providers require high-level respiratory protection, have been in short supply in healthcare facilities. A cost-effective strategy for healthcare systems to offset N95 respirator shortages due to COVID-19 is to utilize reusable elastomeric respirators.
