The TSI brand respirator test system was originally chosen because it was the only known system equipped to test the N95 respirators which are used by several USDA facilities.
TSI is the Manufacturer for the Porta Counts used and they perform their own cleaning and calibration services.
The 8038 model incorporates two units (the N95 companion and regular Porta Count) into one unit for better portability and less cables, hoses, and other apparatus. This unit has a much better sensitivity so that fit-testing can be performed in areas that were "too clean" before. The 8038 model can be used with or without the laptop and incorporates the new OSHA fit-test measurement times that will enhance and shorten the overall fit-test procedure.
PortaCount Pro+ Universal Respirator Fit Tester
Includes: Porta Count Pro+ w/ Built-in N95-Companion, AC Adapter, Alcohol Cartridge, Alcohol Fill Capsule, Storage Cap, Two HEPA Filters, Operation & Service Manual, Alcohol Supplies, 3/16 and 1/4 Inch Hose Adapters, Two Spare Alcohol Wicks, Carrying Case, 100 Probe Sets w/ Probe Insertion Tool, FitPro Lite Test Software, Software Manual, 1 Gig USB Flash Memory Drive, USB Interface Cable.
