N95 respirators


Definition from kursors.lv:
N95 ir respiratora modelis, kurš ir paredzēts ikdienas lietošanai dažādu slimību saslimšanas laikā, jo tas ļoti ērti pieguļ sejai, spējot aizsargāt pret 95% dažādu daļiņu (0,3 mikronu lielumā).

Example sentence(s):
  • Lai pasargātu sevi, nepieciešams vismaz P2 jeb FFP2 vai arī P3 jeb FFP3 respirators, savukārt pēc ASV standarta ne zemāks par N95. - Latvijas Sabiedriskie Mediji  
  • Šie respiratori atbilst standartam N95 un tos aizsardzībai pret Covid-19 var lietot medicīnas darbinieki, kā arī citu nozaru pārstāvji, kam darba specifikas dēļ pastāv augsts risks saskarsmei ar infekciju, skaidro “Saskaņas” pārstāve. - la.lv
