3.2.  Testing for Tight Fit 

In order to check that the fit is tight, a leak test must be carried out before each 

use (Figures: 3S-R AirElite Mask as an example). 

 

 

(1)  Seal the mask connection piece with the palm of 

your hand (hand ball test). 

(2)  Test the tightness by inhaling and exhaling. 

Whilst doing so 

 when inhaling there must be negative pressure, 

no inflowing air should be noticeable and 

 when exhaling there must be overpressure, no 

breathable air should escape over the sealing 

edge. 

 

If necessary retighten the straps. 

 

If the leak test fails the mask must not be used. 

 

 

 

3.3.  Removing the Mask 

 

 

(1)  Loosen the head harness, press the buckles 

forwards using your thumbs. 

 

 

(2)  Grip the mask by the connection piece and pull 

off backwards over your head.
