MSA 697287 Saccharin Fit Testing Kit with Hood

Saccharin Fit Testing Kit for MSA Respirators

This kit provides a qualitative saccharin fit-testing protocol designed for use with MSA respirators. It supplies the components needed to verify that a selected respirator forms an adequate seal on the wearer's face. The transparent test hood encloses the head during the procedure to contain the test aerosol. The kit is intended for occupational health professionals and safety managers responsible for respiratory protection programmes.

Two Nebulizers and Solutions for Repeated Testing

The package includes two nebulizer bulbs and two replacement sets of nebulizer inserts, providing headroom for multiple fit-test sessions before consumables require replenishment. Fit-test solution and sensitivity solution are supplied to conduct both the threshold screening and the actual fit test. The hood and nebulizers are reusable, while the solutions and inserts are consumed with each series of tests. The kit runs out when solutions are depleted or inserts wear beyond reliable aerosol generation.

Replaces Expired or Incomplete Saccharin Kits

This kit replaces an existing saccharin fit-test setup that has exhausted its solutions, lost nebulizer parts, or lacks a test hood. The jump is worth it when a current kit can no longer deliver a consistent aerosol concentration or when a programme switches from a different test agent to the saccharin protocol. It is not suited for quantitative fit-testing requirements or for respirator brands not validated with the MSA saccharin protocol.
