            Introduction of a high level filter

            • Introduction of a high level filter

            November 12, 2021

            A new machine installed at the Detmold Medical lab has enhanced our ability to test product onsite.

            The high-level filter tester, or PALAS PMFT 1000, has recently been installed to enable testing of particulate filtration efficiency and breathing resistance with extreme accuracy.

            This means - we can take a detailed look at the performance of your mask. 

            The machine uses an aerosol generator, paired with a light scattering spectrometer to determine filter efficiency, or how many and what sized particles are collected by a mask.

            These filter tests can be performed with different aerosols to investigate performance, including use of either oil or sodium chloride aerosol generators.

            The filter tester has allowed for easier and immediate monitoring of product performance onsite at the Detmold Medical lab.

            Incorporating the flexibility to test to international standards also assists in meeting expectations or requirements for masks to perform beyond the Australian Standard.

            We continue to provide high performance face masks to protect health care professionals, investing in our in-house testing alongside our PPE manufacturing capability.

            Is Your PPE Adequate? Protecting Workers from Airborne Contaminants in the Workplace

            Healthcare & Medical, Government Department, Industries - Detmold Medical, Government Department , Healthcare & Medical

            Employers have a legal duty under WHS legislation to eliminate or minimise risks, such as airborne hazards. Within the hierarchy of controls, personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE) are often used as a last resort to protect workers from inhaling harmful airborne particles. With this in mind, it’s essential to ensure that the PPE you select provides adequate protection against the hazards and risks you’ve identified through a thorough risk assessment.

            Psychosocial Risk in High-Stress Care Environments

            High-stress environments such as ICU wards, aged care facilities, and emergency departments demand more than just clinical capability. They require robust personal protective equipment (PPE) systems that safeguard both physical and psychosocial well-being. In these settings, PPE is not merely a physical barrier against harm; it also plays a critical role in protecting workers from psychosocial risk.

            Face masks and respiratory protective equipment (RPE) are critical in protecting healthcare workers, safety officers, and the wider community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they became an essential tool in reducing the spread of infection. Their importance has continued well beyond the peak of the pandemic as face masks remain a common precaution on public transport, during flu season, and in other high-risk environments, reinforcing their place in everyday health and safety practices.
