Assessment of Novel Respiratory Protective Devices in Healthcare
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Study Procedures for Comfort and Tolerability. Completed, enrolled 382 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This VA-based study will obtain feedback from healthcare workers via validated survey instrument on the comfort and tolerability of wearing current models of N95 respirators and novel respirator designs currently in development. There will be 4 novel respirators and 1 commonly used respirator (not locally used) to compare to a locally used respirator, which is familiar to participants. Comparisons will be examined between each of the first 5 models with the locally used control using Dunnett's t-test.

Timeline
Interventions
Study activities include fit-testing, wearing the respirator while performing a series of motions that simulate healthcare worker tasks and completing a survey on the comfort and tolerability of the respirator worn.
