Why should I wear the mask?
It is important to protect yourself and, above all, others. By sneezing, talking or even sighing heavily we dis-
tribute saliva droplets in our surroundings.
These may fl y up to 2 meters and contain microbes which may cause illness. It is easy to infect other people
during day-to-day contact.
We may endanger ourselves or others, especially where it’s not possible to observe the recommended
minimum distance of 1,5 meters (5 feet), for instance in narrow shopping aisles or on staircases. Risk patients
are particularly dependent on our protecting them. The mask slows the outfl ow of air when breathing and
stops fl uid transfer.
Am I completely protected by the mask?
Unfortunately not. The mask does, however, reduce spreading of infections via droplets and helps above all
to protect others. You yourself have some protection due to the fi lter function of the mask. The measure
reduces risk of air-borne infections. However, it cannot prevent infections entirely.
How do I put on the mask properly?
•
Wash and disinfect your hands thoroughly.
•
Ensure that the fi lter fabric is undamaged, dry and clean.
•
Turn the mask so that the inner side is towards you.
•
Put on the mask by pulling the elastic bands over your ears and take care that nose and chin are
covered.
What else is important?
•
Do not touch the mask between putting it on and removing it.
•
Wash your hands thoroughly before and after removing it.
•
Change the fabric regularly (at least daily).

How do I clean or disinfect the fabric and clips?
The fi lter fabric should be washed in a washing machine separately at
60
°C. It is also possible to dampen
it with water and then place it in the oven for
5
minutes at
80
° or in the microwave for
2-4
minutes at full
power. For health reasons, please refrain from chemical cleaning. No chemicals are required for disinfec-
tion. The clips can be cleaned with alcohol or standard disinfectants. Thorough cleaning with soap is also
possible.
