Medical Mask Performance Evaluation System


A medical mask is a product used to prevent the intrusion or infection of certain disease from unexpected viruses or bacteria, etc. in hospitals. Therefore, in order to prove the purpose of use as a medical respirator, all of the performance tests below must be performed.

ART Plus's medical mask performance evaluation equipment (smART) is a measuring equipment designed in accordance with ASTM F2100-11 of ASTM International, a global organization that develops and publishes technical standards for medical products, materials, systems, and services. The performance of medical masks can be tested according to the five evaluation criteria required by the standard. Korean MFDS’s Guideline for Permission Review of ‘Medical Respiratory Protective Equipment’ operates in the SAME way as FDA, ASTM, NIOSH, and therefore respond to MFDS’s Guideline through smART Series.
