Custom solution for PPE in the orthopaedic setting: retrofitting Stryker Flyte T5® PPE system 2020-10-26 .txt text/plain 4111 167 53 In this study the authors made modifications to two different SS systems to incorporate high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to the inlets to the fan to assess their potential as a method of providing a reusable system for PPE for the surgeon with regard to protection from a respiratory droplet spread virus. The results show that using a layer of HEPA filter cut to size, and sealed to the inlet for the fan in the helmet will reduce the downstream particulate at the user's mouth by over 99.5% which is equivalent to that of a respirator mask. With the modification of the HEPA filter to the inlet of the T5 helmet as described, the downstream penetration was reduced to 0.46% (σ = 0.24%) which is significantly better than all other test configurations and offers a particulate filtration similar to FFP3 and N99 or other equivalent respirator mask. ./cache/cord-280419-odqo3o4w.txt ./txt/cord-280419-odqo3o4w.txt
