FLU RESPIRATORS

We try to anticipate questions you might have about our PRODUCT / SERVICE and provide the answers here. If you need additional information send email to customercare@ibstn.com

1. How long do I need to wear a mask for a pandemic?

The viruses come in “waves”. They cover an area for about 2 weeks, then leave for a time, then return again. Most experts agree that the average pandemic outbreak comes and goes over a 60-day period. Most viruses “live” in the air for around 2 hours. They travel about 5 yards. When outside, you do not know who walked by in the past 2 hours where you are located, therefore, you need to protect yourself and wear the mask whenever you go outside during a pandemic outbreak. Inside, your family members need to wear a mask for about seven days. If no one shows any signs of contracting a flu, then it will be safe inside your home (as long as no one else enters your home, or if they do, they should wear the nano mask before entering your home).

2. How long does a mask last?

The NT-V2 mask lasts for over 24 hours, whereas the average life efficiency of an N95 mask is only 2 hours. Health professionals can wear the same mask for 8 hours a day for three days before needing to replace it with a new mask.

3. How long can I store my mask, without usage, before I need to replace it?

You are safe to store the NT-V2 mask for 3 years. The GPU mask can be stored for 5 years.

4. Which Mask is Right for Me?

Below is a simple comparison between:

1) the Pasture Pharma NT-V2 Nano Bi-Directional Respirator (mask), the next generation of mask created through nano-technology specifically designed for First Responders,

2) the Pasture Pharma F550G GPU Respirator (mask), which is cleared by the FDA , and

3) a general N95 mask

Disclaimer: This chart is for comparative purposes only. Not all N95 are made the same, and NOT all 'N95's' are US NIOSH-approved N95 Respirators.

6. Where Can I Get Anti-Virals?

One of the essential steps in preparation for the anticipated pandemic outbreaks of the Swine Flu (2nd more potent wave coming in the fall of 2009) and in the future the Bird Flu, is to obtain a ready supply of Anti-Virals.

It is required to get a prescription from your doctor to obtain Anti-Virals. The easiest way to obtain these is to get them directly from your doctor in his/her office (if they are participating in the VantageRx in-office dispensing program).

Currently, there are two anti-virals which may be effective against the Swine Flu.
