| Reason/Issue |
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has undertaken a post-market review of face masks included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).
A Barcs & Co Nominees Pty Ltd has supplied respirators which have shown inconsistent testing results, specifically for Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE), which measures the efficiency of the respirator to filter fine particles from inspired air.
Respirators which perform below the claimed level of PFE will not afford their wearers the expected level of protection when used in an environment where respiratory protection is required. |
