The N95 respirator is the most common of the seven types of particulate ltering facepiece respirators. This product lters at
least 95% of airborne particles but is not resistant to oil.

This web page provides a table of NIOSH-approved N95 respirators, listed alphabetically by manufacturer. You can select a
particular manufacturer by clicking on the rst letter of their name on the index below.

There are some products that are approved by NIOSH as an N95 respirator and also cleared by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) as a surgical mask. These products are referred to as Surgical N95 Respirators. View a de nition of
Surgical N95 Respirators. For your convenience the Surgical N95 Respirators are indicated with the Model Number/Product
Line in bold text followed by (FDA). If you have a product you believe is NIOSH-approved and FDA-cleared that does not
appear on this list, you will need to check with the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health at 1-800-638-2041 for
validation of clearance. View a comprehensive table of Surgical N95 Respirators.

The 3MTM Particulate Respirator
8210, N95 is designed to help
provide quality, reliable worker
protection against certain non-oil
based particles. The 3MTM
Particulate Respirator 8110S, N95
offers the same protection for
those workers with smaller faces.
The 8210 and the 8110S offer a
number of benefits to you and
your workers.

 This respirator helps protect against certain particulate contaminants but does not eliminate exposure to
or the risk of contracting any disease or infection. Misuse may result in sickness or death. For proper
use, see supervisor, or User Instructions, or call 3M in U.S.A., 1-800-247-3941. In Canada, call
Technical Service at 1-800-267-4414.

IMPORTANT
Before use, the wearer must read and understand these User Instructions. Keep these instructions for
reference.

DESCRIPTION
The 3M™ 1860 Health Care Particulate Respirator and Surgical Mask is designed to help provide
respiratory protection for the wearer. This product has a filter efficiency level of 95% or greater against
particulate aerosols free of oil1. It is fluid resistant, disposable and may be worn in surgery. It can fit a
wide range of face sizes.

This product contains no components made from natural rubber latex.

INTENDED USE: This product meets CDC guidelines for Mycobacterium tuberculosis exposure control.
As a respirator, it is intended to reduce wearer exposure to certain airborne particles in a size range of 0.1
to >10.0 microns, including those generated by electrocautery, laser surgery, and other powered medical
instruments. As a surgical mask, it is designed to be fluid resistant to splash and spatter of blood and
other infectious materials; when worn properly and in combination with protective eyewear, it complies
with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. It also provides >99% BFE 2 against wearer generated
micro-organisms.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Not for industrial use. Not for use with beards or other facial hair that
prevents direct contact between the face and the sealing surface of the respirator. OSHA has not set a
permissible exposure level for airborne biohazards.

USE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Before use for respiratory protection, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented
   meeting all requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.139 and/or 1910.134 such as medical evaluation,
   training and fit testing. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met. The 3M
   saccharin (sweet) or Bitrix™ (bitter)qualitative fit test is recommended for this respirator. When used
   only as a surgical mask, fit testing is not required.
2. Respirator may be used until damaged, breathing becomes difficult, or contaminated with blood or
   body fluids. Otherwise, it may be stored and reused according to the facility’s infection control policy.
3. Filtering facepieces are to be inspected prior to each use to assure there are no holes in the breathing
   zone other than the punctures around staples and no damage has occurred. Enlarged holes resulting
   from ripped or torn filter material around staple punctures are considered damage. Immediately
   replace respirator if damaged. Staple perforations do not affect NIOSH approval.
4. Discard after every use when used for surgical procedures.

Fitting Instructions (Must be followed each time respirator is worn)

1. Cup the respirator in your hand, with the nosepiece at your fingertips, allowing the headbands to hang
   freely below your hand.
2. Position the respirator under your chin with the nosepiece up. Pull the top strap over your head
   resting it high at the top back of your head. Pull the bottom strap over your head and position it
   around the neck below the ears.
3. Place your fingertips from both hands at the top of the metal nosepiece. Using two hands, mold the
   nose area to the shape of your nose by pushing inward while moving your fingertips down both sides
   of the nosepiece.

   ! Pinching the nosepiece using one hand may result in improper fit and less effective respirator
   performance. Use two hands.
4. Perform a User Seal Check prior to each wearing. To check the respirator-to-face seal, place both
   hands completely over the respirator and exhale. Be careful not to disturb the position of the
   respirator. If air leaks around nose, readjust the nosepiece as described in step 3. If air leaks at the
   respirator edges, work the straps back along the sides of your head.
   If you CANNOT achieve proper seal, DO NOT enter the isolation or treatment area. See your
   supervisor.

Removal Instructions
See step 2 of Fitting Instructions and cup respirator in hand to maintain position on face. Pull bottom
strap over head. Still holding respirator in position, pull top strap over head and remove respirator.

Description of Document for Review:

  Bid #: COVID-19 RELATED PURCHASE (M3 Masks – 8210 and 1860)
  Title:


  Specific Concerns:

  To ensure that the specifications provided by the vendor adhere to all applicable standards
  (FDA, CDC,NIOSH etc.) Thank you.

  The vendor Performance Supply, LLC is offering the COVID-19 related purchase (M3
  Masks – 8210 and 1860)

  FDA creates regulatory Exemptions for Masks and respirator in response to the COVID-19
  and critical PPE shortages: On March 25, 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  issued a temporary policy relating to enforcement of regulatory requirements for face
  masks and respirators during the COVID-19 crisis. Since the public health emergency
  began, the United States has experienced a shortage of masks, respirators, and other
  personal protective equipment (PPE) which are critically needed for health care workers
  caring for COVID-19 patients in all states. FDA previously created emergency use
  authorizations for NIOSH-approved disposable respirators for use in health care setting
  and imported non-NIOSH-approved disposable respirators, but the temporary enforcement
  policy represents an attempt to open the manufacturing, importation, and distribution flood
  gates to make more masks and respirators available as quickly as possible.

  The policy is limited to face mask and respirator products classified under 21 C.F.R.
  &&878.4040, 880.6260 (product code FXX,OXZ,OUK,MSH,ONT,ORW, and NZJ), and
  FDA divides these products into three main categories: (1) face masks and N95
  respirators not intended for a medical purpose; (2) face masks intended for a medical
  purpose but not to provide liquid barrier protection; and (3) surgical masks intended to
  provide liquid barrier protection. Wwwmintz.com

     Case 1:20-cv-02949-JLR-JW        Document 15-9      Filed 04/24/20    Page 15 of 15

  Analysis revealed that both items: 3M Masks 1860 and 3M Masks 8210 provide
  necessary protection for front line medical and non-medical personnel. Since, it is not
  scientifically proven against the COVID-19; it is important to recognize that the optimal way
  to prevent airborne transmission is to use a combination of interventions from across the
  hierarchy of controls, not just PPE alone. Therefore, these submitted disposable 3M
  Masks 1860 and 8210 specifications are substantially in compliance with the NYC
  Specification.
