Bio-Medical Devices International (BMDI) manufactures the NIOSH-approved MaxAir, a Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) that was specifically designed for hospitals, clinics and laboratories. The other PAPRs on the market were born in an industrial setting, and their bulky construction materials, hoses and filter cartridges make them less suitable for use outside of an industrial setting.

Occupational health and infection control professionals in hospitals, clinics and laboratories around the country have embraced the MaxAir as their PAPR of choice for disaster and emergency preparedness, as well as daily use. Because it is a PAPR, the MaxAir does not require the annual fit testing that is mandated by OSHA for non-PAPR respiratory protection devices (e.g., the N95). Annual fit testing expenses can be substantial for an organization, and there are always indivduals for whom an acceptable fit is not possible. MaxAir to the rescue.
