Time Fit Factors FitPlus software allows you to display real time fit factors to assist in respirator training and troubleshooting This allows a person to experiment with strap tension and other adjustments while watching the effect in real time The person then learns how each adjustment affects the fit and learns how to achieve a fit that is comfortable and has minimum leakage This feature is intended for training and should not be used immediately before a fit test Using the feature to help the test subject don the respirator immediately before the official fit test defeats one of the main purposes of fit testing to prove that the test subject knows how to don the mask properly without help Use the Real time Fit Factor feature for training and practice only Note You can use the real time fit factor display just prior to a fit test as long as you have the test subject remove the mask and put it on again without use of the real time display or other assistance before the final test Before you start the real time fit factor display you must have the PORTACOUNT Plus on and properly attached to the computer and must have someone wearing a respirator that is properly attached to the PORTACOUNT Plus To begin open the PortaCount menu and select Real Time Alternately you can click the fe icon The Real Time Fit Factor Display dialog box appears Figure 6 2 If the PORTACOUNT is a Model 8030 or 8038 an N95 Companion checkbox appears on
