Evaluation of Free Air Portable Air Powered Respirator System for Prevention of Influenza Transmission
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Free Air Portable Air Powered Respirator and N95 Respirator for Influenza. Completed, enrolled 58 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will compare the efficacy of the Free Air Portable Air Powered Respirator (PAPR) system versus a N95 mask in preventing nasal detection of influenza following an exposure. The investigators hypothesize the use of the Free Air PAPR system will be superior to a N95 respirator at interrupting the exposure of the study participants to aerosolized influenza virus particles.
