N95 masks are designed to protect the wearer from viruses, diseases and airborne contaminants or irritants, ranging from viruses and bacteria to large particles, such as pollen and dust. In addition to their high filtration standards N95 masks achieve high bacterial filtration efficiency because they form a tight seal around the wearer's nose and mouth, which helps to prevent the inhalation of contaminated air. 3M™ Particulate Healthcare Respirator, 1860, N95 Mask, Box of 20 and HALYARD FLUIDSHIELD 3 N95 Particulate Filter Respirator And Surgical Mask, 46767 (Box Of 35) and Moldex 2200 N95 Series Particulate Respirator, 20 units (Boxed) are typically worn in healthcare settings, but they are also widely used by the general public during.

Health Canada N95 Mask Guidelines for Disease Control
According to Health Canada, N95 masks are particulate filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) that fall under the classification of Class 1 medical devices, which means that a surgical mask made in Canada can only be from a company with a Medical Device Establishment Licence (MDEL) in order to be authorized for medical use.
N95 face masks are required to achieve a minimum particulate filtration efficiency of 95% and can be made in various styles. Regardless of the style, these masks must pass minimum performance requirements for a proper fit, filter efficiency and breathing resistance.
