Quantitative fit testing solutions exclusively from Shawcity
24 June 2024
QUANTIFIT2, THE award-winning face fit testing system from OHD, has achieved a major accomplishment having received approval from the U.S. Navy.
Widely used in the US, QuantiFit2 is already utilised by hundreds of major organisations including the FBI, CIA, NYPD, LA Fire Department, Exxon, Boeing and Proctor & Gamble.
QuantiFit2 now has a growing customer base in the UK and its controlled negative pressure (CNP) protocols are referenced in the HSE’s INDG479 ‘Guidance on respiratory protective equipment (RPE) fit testing’.
Developed by the BSIF alongside industry stakeholders, the ‘Fit2Fit’ scheme for RPE Fit Test Providers Accreditation also has a guide dedicated to CNP technology.
Shawcity says, “QuantiFit2 works by using controlled negative pressure. A unique benefit of QuantiFit2 is the rechargeable battery, which offers more than four hours of active run time and can be swapped out in the field if required. The colour touchscreen displays clear instructions and animations and guides subjects through each step of the test. The test sequence itself adheres to the HSE protocol referenced in INDG 479.
“Pioneers in respirator fit testing, OHD continues to develop its innovative technology now offering both CNP and APC/CNC fit testing solutions.”
Building upon the established easy to use and intuitive user experience of the QuantiFit2, the NEW AeroFit APC/CNC fit tester accommodates any respirator type, even N95s. Incorporating key features of QuantiFit2 such as battery or mains powered functionality, daily verification and interactive built in screen the AeroFit effortlessly delivers accurate and efficient tests.
Both devices can run simultaneously using the OHD Logic software saving reports to a shared database offering a robust integrated fit testing platform suitable for any workforce.
The QuantiFit2 and AeroFit are exclusively available to hire of buy from Shawcity in the UK and Ireland.
