Routine decontamination procedures have been established for N95 respirators. The procedure can be done up to 20 times per mask. Each mask will be marked each time it is decontaminated.
All items must be free of any visual contamination (e.g. blood, bodily fluids, makeup)
On-Site Collection/Marking
1. Your organization should create a collection station.
2. Each station should have one bag to collect N95 respirators.
NOTE: Bags are for listed PPE only; do not throw gloves, paper towels or waste in the PPE collection bags.
3. With a Sharpie, label ALL PPE with a three-digit site code and a 2-digit location identifier. The unique Site Code corresponds to your delivery address and has been assigned by Battelle. Your organization has designated the location identifier (2 digits) to correspond to a specific location/unit within your site. (see attachment for assigned site codes and site location ID)
a. Label respirators legibly on the outside OR inside, per your preference. See examples below.
b. Label face N-95 masks with agency initials, ie. Marion Police Dept. = MPD.
