Compliance with UNI EN 14683. What does this mean?

The UNI EN 14683 standard regulates the production of masks used in a surgical environment, i.e. as a medical device. Therefore, compliance with this standard guarantees that the product meets the standards required for hospital use of the product.

In particular, the Italian Ministry of Health on its website, clearly explains that surgical masks, in order to be safe, must be manufactured in compliance with the technical standard UNI EN 14683:2019. This standard (free download from https://www.uni.com) provides for product characteristics and test methods and, in particular, indicates liquid splash resistance, breathability, bacterial filtration efficiency and microbial cleanliness.

This means that the mask in this advertisement meets all the requirements mentioned.

The product is designed to meet the criteria of non-transmission of infectious agents in operating theatres. Indeed, in those situations, bacteria and virusesl can transfer from the noses and mouths of members of the surgical team. The main intended use of face masks for medical use is to protect the patient from infectious agents and, in addition, in certain circumstances, to protect the wearer from splashing potentially contaminated liquids.

Face masks for medical use may also be intended to be worn by patients and others to reduce the risk of spreading infections, particularly in epidemic or pandemic situations.

In addition this mask also complies with the EN 10993 standardwhich regulates the biological evaluation of medical devices within a risk management process, such as in the case of a pandemic.

Finally, the masks in this advertisement are CE certified. They are therefore perfectly saleable and usable even after the lapse of the state of emergency decreed by the Italian government.

Type II (or type 2) mask: what does it mean?

Surgical masks, both single- and multi-use, are tested from the inside out. That is, the test replicates the exhalation of the subject wearing it. The tests assess the effectiveness of bacterial filtration and allow the conformity of the masks to be established.

If the battery filtration is higher than 95% but lower than 98%, it is referred to as a Type I faceplate. If, on the other hand, the battery protection is superior to 98%, we talk about type II.

 

Economic advantages of using professional washable and reusable medical masks

Professional washable and reusable medical masks are products that have a huge economic advantage, even compared to the classic surgical protective masks sold in pharmacies for 0.50 Euro.

In fact, this product retains its protective properties for 15 washes. Therefore, the unit cost of this device must be calculated by dividing the purchase price by 15.

Moreover, after 15 washes, the mask does not lose its general protective function. In fact, although it can no longer be defined as a medical device, it is still an excellent triple-layer non-woven face mask, capable of guaranteeing excellent protection for personal use outside the workplace, in everyday life. The protection offered by this mask after 15 washes is in any case superior to the protection NOT guaranteed by commercially available fabric-only masks.

 

Environmental advantages of using washable versus disposable masks

Certified washable masks are much stronger and thicker than disposable masks. The protection is superior and their reuse facilitated. Reusing the mask means that it does not have to be thrown away, generating pollution. We know that the disposal of billions of face masks will generate enormous environmental costs.

This type of mask is environmentally friendly, avoiding the waste of material and the labour and energy required for disposal.

Mask reuse, of course, is ideal in those environments where the risk of contamination is lower and where safety protocols do not foresee the use of disposable materials per se. In fact, even in these environments, procedures for sanitising face masks can easily be set up to allow their reuse, managing their life cycle.

Even in private or small-professional use, however, it is possible to manage the end-of-life of the mask. In fact, after the 15 washes foreseen by the production specifications, the product can still be stored and used as a community mask, i.e. for personal use, outside of work environments.

This prevents pollution of the environment and protects nature by reducing waste.

Advantages of domestic production

The professional washable and reusable medical masks in this advertisement are made at 100% in Italy by a specialised textile industry.

Buying this product helps support Italian production of personal protective equipment. It also helps and avoids favouring foreign production of such products.

Last but not least, behind a simple mask, there is the fruit of hours of work and significant design and investment made in our country. Buying these masks, therefore, means helping the return on these investments and increasing our national production. At this point in time, it is essential to help certified domestic manufacturers so that they can offer us, also in the future, the availability of products that comply with standards for the safety of the population.
