Q100 CSA Certified CA-N95

The NEW CSA CA-N95 certified respirator provides enhanced breathability, improved fit, comfort, and meets rigorous safety and performance standards while providing full N95 protection

Q100 Benefits

Increased Breathability

Q100 CA-N95 exceeds the maximum CSA breathability standard of 100Pa/100Pa which provides up to 4 times more breathability than other N95’s, significantly enhancing comfort for healthcare users.

Improved Fit

The Q100 CA-N95 respirator is available in 4 sizes (XS, S, M, L), which will provide a better fit for a wider range of facial sizes and shapes. This helps to ensure that the respirator creates a seal around the nose and mouth, which is essential for preventing particles from entering through gaps between the mask and the face.

Greator Comfort

The Q100 CA-N95 respirator is designed to be more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The ear loops manufactured in our Canadian factory with the optimum blend of spandex and polyester, in combination with aluminum nose strip provide a customized fit and enhanced comfort.

Features

Benefits

Inhalation / Maxmium Resistance of Breathing, Pa

≤343 Pa - No requirement to mark or inform user of the degree of inhalation/exhalation (a surrogate for breathability)

3 levels of breathability, from easier breathability/lower resistance results to more difficult/higher resistance results.  ≤100Pa (10.2mm H2O), ≤175Pa (17.8mm H2O), ≤343 Pa (35 mm H2O)

≤100Pa (10.2mm H2O) vs NIOSH standard of ≤343 Pa

The Q100 Respirator achieved the least inhalation resistance of the three CSA categories making the Q100 four times more breathable than any NIOSH approved respirator.  Increase breathability greatly enhances wearer comfort.

Exhalation / Maxmium Resistance of Breathing, Pa

≤245 Pa - No requirement to mark or inform user of the degree of inhalation/exhalation (a surrogate for breathability)

3 levels of breathability, from easier breathability / lower resistance results to more difficult / higher resistance results.  ≤100Pa (10.2mm H2O),  ≤175Pa (17.8mm H2O),  ≤245 Pa (25mm H2O)

≤100Pa (10.2mm H2O) vs NIOSH standard of ≤245 Pa

The Q100 Respirator achieved the least exhalation resistance of the three CSA categories making the Q100 up to four times more breathable than NIOSH approved respirators. Increased breathability greatly enhances wearer comfort.

Inhalation / Exhalation Resistance

No requirement to mark or inform the user of the degree of inhalation / exhalation, which is a factor for breathability.

Requirement to add a suffix to the particulate filtration designation to inform users if the inhalation/exhalation testing falls within 3 levels of breathability (from easier reathability/lower resistance results to more difficult/higher resistance results)

Q100 achieves 100Pa/100Pa which is clearly labelled on the product.

Labelling allows wearers to be certain that the Q100 Respirator received the highest standard for inhalation and exhalation vs other NIOSH approved respirators

Fit Testability

No definition for single-use respirators, isoamyl acetate qualitative test for others

Quantitative fit test method for all respirator types other than loose-fitting PAPRs.

The Q100 Respirator has been CSA certified using the more stringent quantitative method for all 4 Q100 Respirator sizes. 

Quantitative testing is more accurate than the qualitative testing often used by NIOSH. A proper fitting respirator ensures the respirator provides maximum protection against airborne particles, such as viruses and bacteria.

Filter Classification

N/A

CA-N95F-100Pa, CA-N95F-175Pa, CA-N95F- 343Pa, CA-N95-100Pa, CA-N95-175Pa, CA-N95- 343Pa

CA-N95F-100Pa

The Q100 Respirator received the highest standard for breathability (100Pa / 100Pa) which is now visible to customers. NIOSH certification only requires the minimum CSA standard of 343 Pa for inhalation and no requirement for exhalation and there is no indication of what level was achieved

Shelf Life

Not required

Designation and validation of shelf life for filters and integrated respirators, optional for other components.

3 years from the manufacturing date.

The Q100 Respirator exceeds the highest CSA standards for designation and validation of shelf life.  There is no NIOSH requirement for shelf life.

Protect yourself with CSA certified CA-N95 respirators

  • CA-N95 respirators have a higher level of filtration efficiency than cloth masks and procedural masks, filtering out 95% of airborne particles.
  • CA-N95 respirators are designed to create a tight seal around the nose and mouth, providing a secure barrier against harmful particles, gases, and vapours.
  • CA-N95 respirators are made of advanced filter material that blocks small particles, including viruses and bacteria, from passing through the mask.
  • Cloth masks and procedural masks do not provide the same level of protection as N95 respirators, as they are not designed to create a seal and do not have the same filtration efficiency.
  • CA-N95 respirators are tested and certified to meet strict standards set by organizations such as the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), which is designed to be more stringent than the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
  • CA-N95 respirators are recommended by health authorities for use in high-risk situations, such as healthcare settings or areas with high levels of air pollution.
  • CA-N95 respirators are a critical component in protecting against respiratory illnesses, such as COVID-19.
