CanadamasQ Q100 CA-N95 Ear Loop Respirator - White - Large
CSA Certified CA-N95F-100Pa - Fluid Resistant - Flat Ear Loops - Pack of 10

The CanadamasQ Q100 is a fluid resistant respirator certified by CSA Group to the CSA Z94.4.2:21 standard, the Canadian standard for respirators used in healthcare, with the designation CA-N95F-100Pa. The CSA standard grades respirator breathability into three levels based on inhalation and exhalation resistance. The Q100 is certified to the lowest resistance level, 100 Pa, for both inhalation and exhalation. By comparison, the NIOSH N95 standard allows up to 343 Pa inhalation resistance and 245 Pa exhalation resistance, and does not require the achieved level to be marked on the product. Lower breathing resistance, which CanadamasQ calls QFlow Technology, is designed to reduce mask fatigue, the physical and mental discomfort healthcare workers experience during prolonged respirator wear. The Q100 filters at least 95 percent of airborne particles and is fit testable. It was CSA certified using a quantitative fit test method across all four sizes in the range. Soft, flexible flat ear loops provide a secure, comfortable fit and make donning and doffing quick and easy. This listing is for size Large in white, which CanadamasQ recommends for adults. The Q100 is made in Canada and has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture. Each pack contains 10 respirators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Large size Q100 respirator for?
CanadamasQ recommends the Large size for adults. Fit testing is recommended to confirm the correct size for each wearer.

What sizes does the Q100 respirator come in?
The Q100 is available in four sizes. Extra Small is recommended for children aged 4 to 11, Small for children aged 11 and older, Medium for youth and adults with small faces, and Large for adults.

What does CA-N95 mean?
CA-N95 is the Canadian respirator designation under the CSA Z94.4.2:21 standard for respirators used in healthcare. It indicates the respirator filters at least 95 percent of airborne particles and has been certified by CSA Group.

What does 100Pa mean on a CA-N95 respirator?
The CSA standard grades breathability into three levels based on maximum breathing resistance: 100 Pa, 175 Pa and 343 Pa for inhalation. A lower number means less resistance and easier breathing. The Q100 is certified to the 100 Pa level for both inhalation and exhalation, the most breathable CSA category.

How does the Q100 compare with a NIOSH N95 respirator?
Both standards require at least 95 percent filter efficiency using the same test particle size, flow rate and test agent. The NIOSH N95 standard allows up to 343 Pa inhalation resistance and 245 Pa exhalation resistance and does not require the level to be marked. The Q100 is certified to 100 Pa for both, and its breathability level is marked on the product.

What does the F in CA-N95F-100Pa mean?
The F indicates the respirator is certified as fluid resistant under the CSA standard.

Is the Q100 respirator fit testable?
Yes. The Q100 was CSA certified using a quantitative fit test method across all four sizes. It is available in XS, S, M and L to fit a full range of face shapes and sizes.

What is the shelf life of the Q100 respirator?
The Q100 has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture.

How many respirators are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 respirators.
