FDA Emergency Use Authorization for PPE (Including KN95 Respirators)
Personal Protective Equipment EUAs
New information: KN95 respirator masks (from China) CANNOT be disinfected
3M cannot recommend decontamination of FFRs, because FFRs are not designed to be decontaminated, and doing so voids the regulatory approval
If you receive a KN90 mask in your facility, these can only be considered a face mask
It is recommended that the use of KN90 respirators be considered a Crisis Capacity Strategy and that they be used where masks would otherwise be used
