I-CMI yaseNyuvesi yase-Utah isungule uhlelo olusha lokuhlanza kabusha ukuphefumula kwabasebenzi bezempilo nabanakekeli abanakekela iziguli ze-COVID-19. Lesi siphakamisi se-Power Air purifying Repirator (PAPR) siphephile futhi siyasebenza kabusha ekuphenduleni kwesibalo esikhulu se-PPE.

Kufundwe futhi kwaklanywa ngabakwa- Isikhungo Sokuvuselelwa Kwezokwelapha (CMI) kwe University of Utah ukuhlinzeka ngokugeleza komoya ohlanzekile njalo ngesigqoko sokuhlunga kubasebenzi bezokunakekelwa kwempilo futhi abanakekeli. Lokhu Isiphendulisi Somoya Sokuhlanza Amandla gcina ingcindezi enhle evimbela ukungena komoya ongavundile futhi ivikele opharetha kunoma yiluphi uhlobo lokutheleleka, njenge-COVID-19.

 

I-University of Utah ne-COVID-19: i-PPE engasebenzi kabusha ingawenza kanjani umehluko ezibhedlela?

Njengoba sazi, isibhedlela ngasinye sinethuba lokugcina inani elilinganiselwe lezinhlelo esandleni nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Njengoba uBryan McRae, umqondisi wesikhashana we-CMI echaze ekuxhumaneni okusemthethweni kuwebhusayithi ye-University of Utah, “Izinhlelo ze-PAPR zinikela ngokuvikelwa okuhle kakhulu futhi zingakunciphisa kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwe-PPE esebenzisa kanye, njengeziphefumuli ezivamile ze-N95. Ngeshwa, ama-PAPR manje akatholakali kubahlinzeki abajwayelekile isikhathi esingaphezu kwenyanga. Ithimba le-CMI kanye nozakwethu base-University of Utah Health bebelokhu bengamaqhinga futhi beqhamuka nezindlela ezintsha zokwakha isisombululo sokuvala igebe ngenkathi imithombo yendabuko ye-PPE isalokhu ingaqinisekile. ”

Ngokuya ngohlelo lokulinganisa olwejwayelekile olwaziwa njenge- "Fit Factor" kanye nezinhlelo ze-Power Air Purifying Respirator ngokuvamile zilinganiswa phakathi kuka-200 no-1000 esikalini sokulinganisa esilinganayo, uhlelo lwehlisa ukuminyana kwezinhlayiya ezingama-0.3 micron eziphakathi kohlelo ngo-200 izikhathi eziyi-1000 uma kuqhathaniswa nomoya ongaphandle kwehodhi.

I-CMI ivumele uhlelo lwe-Power Air Purifying Respirator ehlolwe yiRocky Mountain Center Yezempilo Yomsebenzi Nezemvelo ye-University of Utah futhi inikezela ngeFit Factor ka-400 noma engcono. Ngokwesilinganiso se-OSHA, esaziwa nge-Assigned Protection Factor (APF), sabika ukuthi le Power Power Purifying Respirator inika i-APF phakathi kuka-25 no-400.

Uma kuqhathaniswa nezimaski ezivamile zokuphefumula ze-N95 ezinikela nge-APF ye-10 kuphela, kusobala ukuthi lolu hlelo lwe-Power Air Purifying Respirator lusebenza kahle.
