Threshold screening solution – Moldex BITREX

This BITREX solution is the threshold screening solution included in the Moldex BITREX Respirator fit test kit. This qualitative fit test kit is used to determine whether a respirator is safe to use, is worn correctly and fits securely, with a simple pass or fail result.

• The threshold screening solution is supplied as a set of 6x 2.5ml bottles of solution.
• The BRITEX respirator kit is designed to test the face to facepiece seal, to ensure the respirator is secure and fits well.
• Qualitative testing uses the wearer’s sense of smell or taste or their reaction to an irritant, which would detect leaks.
• The BITREX respirator fit test includes a taste sensitivity test and a threshold sensitivity screening test.

This screening solution is a component of the Moldex BITREX respirator fit test kit. The whole kit includes the following items, all of which can also be purchased individually to replace used components:

• One fit test hood
• 6 x 2.5ml bottles of Threshold Screening Solution – BITREX
• 6 x 2.5ml bottles of Fit Test Solution – BITREX
• 100 x alcohol wipes

Respirators are not included in the kit – sold separately. 

Important fit test requirements to keep in mind:

1. Facial hair can affect the respirator’s ability to protect the user. Anything that interferes with the seal of the respirator to the face disqualifies the subject from wearing a tight fitting respirator.
2. Glasses, goggles or other corrective or protective equipment that will be worn while working must be worn during test, when feasible.

• Supplied as a pack of 6 x 2.5ml bottles
