ë TECH

3D DESIGN, EASY BREATHING AND SPEAKING

For health professionals, no mouth contact, maximized fit and incomparable filtration

Very light, 3D shape that never touches the mouth or nostrils and has a minimal skin contact.  Designed with 2 pleats on the chin and one on the nose forming a dome to increase the interface and to ensure optimal airflow rate and comfort. The overall protection of the ë TECH is more than 2 times superior to any disposable surgical mask, it is similar to the N95/FFP2 if properly strapped behind the head (N88).

The ë TECH is our most filtering surgical mask, this model proved to us that we could go so far as to develop a washable N95 (FFP2).

Watch for the launch of our washable ëN95 very soon!

COMPLIANT / MEET STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS AFTER 100 WASHES:

EN 14683:2019 (Level-Type IIR)* / ASTM F3502-21** (LEVEL 1 & 2) / AFNOR SPEC S76-001  / EN 149: 2009***

The ë TECH mask meets HEALTH CANADA requirements as a Class I medical device (Health Canada MDEL Approbation License #22723) & complies with the requirements of the CNESST in all workplaces.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Medical grade aerosol filtration, optimized sealing to minimize air leaks
• 4 to 6 times more breathable than N95/FFP2
• Engineered to reduce moisture inside the face cover to maintain the integrity of its protective barrier
• Firm integral cheekbones-nose bar
• Cushioned edges against fog on eyewear
• Adjustable elastic ear bands with possible additional accessories for optimizing protection while enhancing comfort
• Ultimate comfort, extended wear all day, minimum 8 hours per day
• No decrease in effectiveness over time, to be washed after 1 day for hygiene

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS

Always tested after 100 washes

Filtration particles (droplets from 0.8 µm):  99,4 %  (EN 14683: 2019 IIR*)               

Breathability (differential pressure): 44 Pa/cm2 or 4,4 mmH2O/cm2 (EN 14683: 2019 IIR*) : 4 to 6 times more breathable than average N95/ FFP2

Liquid resistance penetration test: Compliant IIR Type with 31 resistant masks out of 32 at a pressure of 16,0 kPa (equivalency: ASTM Level 3 – 160 mmHg)

*The European standard, EN 14683:2019 is for masks for medical use (surgical & procedural). The ë TECH mask meets all Class I medical device requirements for level IIR up to 100 cares.

**ASTM F3502-21 test is performed on whole devices (masks) using NaCl particles at a flow rate of 85 LPM. (as NIOSH)

***If it is tied behind the head, pre-tests in an accredited laboratory have shown that the ë TECH has a performance that meets the requirements of standard EN 149: 2009 FFP1 and is 4% of being FFP2, even after 100 cares.

The ASTM F2100 equivalency for ë TECH is Class I, Level 3 for filtration and breathability and Level 3 for synthetic blood splash resistance.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: ASTM F2100 standard has made recent changes (2023) for fine filtration (F2299). Requierements and test method are modified. Please go see what’s all about in our FAQ.
