Administering a Qualitative Respirator Fit Test

Qualitative Fit Test Set-Up

  • Begin by filling both nebulizers with solution.
  • Sensitivity Solution and Nebulizer – Fill the nebulizer with the sensitivity liquid. Unscrew the top half of the nebulizer while holding upright with the bulb facing down. Approximately 3.5cc of solution can test 10-15 people, depending on their sensitivity to the solution.
  • Fit Test Solution and Nebulizer – Fill the other nebulizer with the Fit Test Solution.
  • Next remove both white plugs to ensure proper air flow.
  • Prop both nebulizers upright so that the solution does not leak out.
