FFP2 Mask - Hong Quan HQ95 CE

Basically it's like this: in medical applications there are mostly medical products, but not only - there are also leading products, especially when it comes to protection. Where these standards for medical products are no longer sufficient, personal protective equipment (PPE) is used to protect people, for example from bacteria, viruses and fungi or even toxic dusts. Finally, the categories and methods of PPE (personal protective equipment) apply here.Dieser Übergang von dem Einsatz eines medizinischen Produktes zu dem Einsatz eines Produktes aus dem Bereich Persönliche Schutzausrüstung lässt sich gut an den Schutzmasken veranschaulichen: es gibt da im Medizinischen den Standard der 3 lagigen blauen Maske, die jeder kennt. Diese gibt es bei uns bereits in 3 Varianten und Klassen zu kaufen: einmal bei uns steril, einmal unsteril und einmal als Alltagsmaske. Im letzten Falle gebraucht dann der Normalbürger diese gar nicht medizinisch, sondern als einfachsten Schutz in seinem Alltag, der eben kein medizinischer sein sollte.

Where can or must FFP class 2 and 3 / filtering face piece be used? Where does the benefit of a medical surgical mask or even a cotton everyday mask end?

If the protection of these 3 mask types of the 3-layer well-known mouth and nose protection is no longer safe enough, i.e. in the case of pandemics or simply in the case of direct confrontation in clinical settings or in risk areas with highly contagious diseases, the surgical mask is not sufficient, personal protective equipment is used. This happens in care facilities, in hospitals on the wards, in the operating room and in patient transport when the risk situation has risen above normal. All these areas are supplied by us for these situations and this location. We deliver for the Bundeswehr and their hospital in Berlin, many, many care facilities and hospitals in Germany and also emergency services, including the police in Baden-Württemberg.

What can / must FFP be used for in classes I and II? Personal protective equipment is used in an integrated way in the medical sector, especially during a pandemic.

FFP2 is a designation that can only be used in the field of personal protective equipment. It's just not a medical term at all, and we can't bend it down to that. Likewise FFP1 or FFP3. FFP2 has a significantly higher protective effect than a sterile, medical surgical mask - both for the wearer of the mask and for people in his vicinity. It encloses the mouth and nose much more clearly than a surgical mask that is still quite airy on the sides and on top.

The Ministry of Health itself therefore ordered KN95 / FFP2 from us at the time - by no means simple mouth and nose protection. Thank God we were paid by us without a reminder and without a complaint from the Ministry.

With these explanations, I hope to have differentiated the necessities in a pandemic or in civil protection from normal, everyday hospital operations with its surgical mask. Both result in either a personal protective equipment product (mask: FFP1, FFP2, FFP3) or in normal times a medical product (mask, 3-layer surgical mask, sterile or non-sterile - depending on the requirement). We all know that in the listed places - and not only there - we have to protect ourselves from unusual, invisible dangers.
