3M™ Secure Click™: Respiratory Protection That Clicks
Designed with intuitive features, 3M™ Secure Click™ Half Facepiece Reusable Respirators help protect workers from particulates and a wide variety of gases and vapors when used with approved 3M™ Secure Click™ filters and cartridges. 3M™ Secure Click™ Half Facepiece Reusable Respirators HF-800 Series are NIOSH-approved and allow for greater breathability and comfort than other respirators on the market.
What is the difference in the way the cartridges/filters are installed in 3M™ Secure Click™ Half Facepiece Reusable Respirators HF-800 Series when compared to other 3M™ Respirators?
- Traditional 3M respirators use an “align and twist” system where the cartridge/filter is aligned with tabs on the facepiece and then turned into place. This has been the standard 3M™ system for many years and is still a perfectly safe and effective system for outfitting your workforce with respiratory protection.
- The 3M Secure Click connection works similarly to a seat belt. Simply align the connections on the facepiece and cartridge and/or filter and push in until you hear a click. The clicking sound helps provide workers with confidence that cartridges/filters are installed properly. To remove the cartridge/filter, simply push the release button on the facepiece. The Secure Click connection is simple and quick.
Do 3M Secure Click HF-800 Series Half Facepiece Reusable Respirators offer a seal check?
Yes. The push button seal check provides workers with both improved confidence in respirator fit and that it is being worn properly.
How do I perform a seal check on my 3M Secure Click HF-800 Series Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator?
- Positive Pressure Seal Check: Cover the opening of the exhalation valve cover with your hand and exhale gently. If the facepiece bulges slightly and no air leaks are detected between your face and facepiece, a proper seal has been obtained.
- Negative Pressure Seal Check: Lightly press the seal check button until you feel resistance. Then, hold the button in this position and inhale gently. If you feel the facepiece collapse slightly and pull closer to your face with no leaks between the face and facepiece, a proper seal has been obtained.
- If face seal air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on your face and/or readjust tension of the straps to eliminate air leakage. Repeat the user seal check until a proper seal is obtained.
Is it true that 3M Secure Click HF-800 Series Half Facepiece Reusable Respirators are more breathable than other 3M respirators?
Yes. Two dual-flow cartridges on each respirator combine to create four airflow paths for easier breathing.
In my workplace, we need to communicate throughout the day. Does the 3M™ Secure Click™ Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator HF-800 Series feature a speaking diaphragm?
Yes, the speaking diaphragm is designed to help provide easier communication while working.
The 3M Secure Click Half Facepiece Reusable Respirators HF-800 Series produces a 20% increase in speech transmission index when compared to the same 3M™ respirator without a speaking diaphragm, when tested in accordance with NFPA 1981-2013 standard for Speech Transmission Index.
Do 3M Secure Click Half Facepiece Reusable Respirators HF-800 Series offer any other important features?
- The head cradle features easy-adjust buckles that fit comfortably to your head, simply pull the straps to tighten or squeeze the buckles to loosen.
- The swept back filter and cartridge design allows for better compatibility with certain welding and grinding shields.
- The silicone flex-joint faceseal provides a softer feel for the wearer’s face.
