The imported 3M medical protective masks are manufactured in China. These masks possess a remarkable level of protection, equivalent to that of both medical surgical masks and particle protective masks.
Hospitals use special masks that can filter particles in the air and protect against spray, blood, body fluids, and secretions. These masks are classified as Class II medical devices and are required to meet national standards. 3M medical particle respirators, such as the 1860, are FDA and Niosh certified to meet the N95 level requirements in the United States and have also been certified by China's SFDA to meet the National Standards for medical protective masks. Similarly, domestic 3M medical respirators, such as the 9132, are also certified to meet the N95 level requirements by Niosh and the National Standards for medical protective masks by China's SFDA.
