Approvals and Certifications

The SALUS™ HC Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system, manufactured by
Bullard, meets the NIOSH PAPR100-P standard
Bullard is certified to ISO 9001:2015

What is a PAPR

A PAPR or powered air-purifying respirator protects the user by filtering out
contaminants in the air. The system uses a blower to force the ambient air through an
air-purifying element to the hood and the breathing zone of the wearer. This process
creates an airflow inside the hood, providing a higher assigned protection factor (APF)
than the reusable elastomeric non-powered air-purifying half facepiece (half mask) or
N95 FFRs. A PAPR can be used for protection during healthcare procedures in which
HCP are exposed to greater risks of aerosolized pathogens causing acute respiratory
infections.
