H5N1 has caused infections in humans, poultry, wild birds and other animals. And it's no longer just Asia's problem. The virus has spread rapidly to the Middle East, Europe and Africa and experts are anticipating the arrival of the virus in the United States by fall or sooner. There are three main ways in which scientists believe avian influenza will arrive in North America. One, by commercial transport — egg products, illegal and legally (imported) birds, or smuggled meat. The second is on the wings of migratory birds. Those would be birds that come from Asia and intermingle with birds from Alaska. The third way would be people — the arrival of someone who is ill. It will probably come to this country on an airplane with someone who is sick or incubating the virus. Unlike the annual flu virus, an H5N1 Bird Flu Pandemic has a mortality rate of 50%. Experts predict that a vaccine could take more than six months to develop and distribute from the start of a pandemic. In addition, antiviral drugs like Tamiflu are already in scarce supply and may not be effective.

Question:

When should N95 Bird Flu Mask or N95 Bird Flu Respirators be used?

Answer:

Bird Flu Mask and Bird Flu respirators are components of a number of infection control measures intended to protect consumers, and prevent the spread of the Bird Flu. These include general hygiene measures set out in local infection control manuals or Federal Mandated Bird Flu policies, and in particular efficient hand hygiene before and after contact with possible or probable cases of the Bird Flu, and with the patient’s environment. Safety Gloves, safety goggles, safety visors, safety gowns and/or safety aprons are also used (see the relevant sections of the web site that deals with (PPE) personal protective equipment in primary and secondary care and local County and Government Bird Flu policies).

Consumers should use N95 Bird Flu Respirators, correctly fitted, for contact with possible or probable cases of Bird Flu. A Bird Flu mask should be used at all time when the threat of possible infection exist and as recommended by (WHO) The World Health Organization and (CDC) The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, it is better to wear a Bird Flu mask to protect yourself when in doubt. Patients should use a Bird Flu Mask while symptomatic whether in hospital, at home or in transit. Airplane Passengers and those consumers traveling by plane, boat, commuter train, or bus should also protect themselves from the Bird Flu Virus by wearing a N95 Bird Flu Respirator at all times.

Question:

Who should wear a Bird Flu Mask or Bird Flu Respirator?

Answer:

Any person whom would come into contact with a possible or probable case of Bird Flu should wear a disposable N95 rated respirator as recomended bt (WHO) The World Health Organization, (CDC) The Center for Disease Control and Prevention or you local county and Government officials. Consumers and Healthcare workers including community primary care teams, hospital clinical teams, ambulance staff, physiotherapists and other professional support staff, porters and domestic staff should all use Bird Flu Protection Respirators

. Hospital Patients with possible or probable Bird Flu Virus should wear a surgical face mask, if able to do so, when in close contact with uninfected persons. Wearing a Bird Flu mask or Bird Flu respirator is not a guarantee of protection against the Bird Flu Virus.

PLEASE READ THESE BIRD FLU SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

It is also important that the Bird Flu Respirator is protected from damage during transit. It is important to follow the instructions carefully, and to do a Bird Flu Respirator fit check each time a new respirator is worn. These fit checks outlined in the user instructions vary according to the design of the Bird Flu Respirator. Fit is critically important. The Bird Flu Respirator must seal tightly to the face or air will enter from the sides. A good fit can only be achieved if the area where the respirator seals against the skin is clean-shaven. Beards, long moustaches, and stubble may cause leaks around the respirator.

If breathing becomes difficult, the Bird Flu Respirator becomes damaged or distorted or contaminated by body fluids, or if a proper face fit cannot be maintained, go to a safe area and change the Bird Flu Respirator immediately.

The Bird Flu Respirator is one component of a number of infection control precautions. These include hand hygiene, gloves, goggles, visors, gowns or gown and apron. Protective equipment should be removed in the following order: safety gown or safety apron, Bird Flu Respirator, safety goggles, followed by safety gloves or hand hygiene.

The Bird Flu Respirator should only be removed in a safe area, away from any contaminated areas. After the Bird Flu protective equipment has been successfully removed it is particularly important to ensure that hands are washed thoroughly.

The Bird Flu Mask should move in and out with the breaths if it is fitted correctly and there are no air leaks from the sides.

Question:

How often should Bird Flu Respirator be changed?

Answer:

Bird Flu Respirators are effective for approximately 8 hours, less if masks are exposed to contaminates or become saturated with any fluids. A Bird Flu Mask used in close contact with a possible or probable Bird Flu case should be disposed of immediately after use; they should not be re-used. They should only be removed when the wearer is in a safe area, outside any contaminated areas.

Question:

What is the correct way to use a Bird Flu Mask

? The Bird Flu Mask should fit snugly over the face, with the colored side out and the metal strip (if Provided) at the top. Position the strings or elastic band to keep the mask firmly in place over the nose, mouth and chin. Mould the metallic strip to the bridge of the nose. Do not touch the mask again until it is removed. Consumers should discard the Bird Flu Mask as clinical waste according to Federal policy. Patients should place the Bird Flu Mask in a plastic bag, then into domestic waste, then wash hands. Go to a safe area and replace the Bird Flu Mask at once, if it is damaged or soiled. Follow local infection control or Federal mandated Bird Flu policies, because the Bird Flu Mask is just one of several infection control precautions. Hand hygiene is particularly important after removing the Bird Flu Mask.
