Prior to wearing a FFP3 mask, you need to have passed the face fit test -if there is an inadequate seal, your protection can be undermined. If you do taste the aerosol, you have failed the test and the mask is deemed an inadequate fit for you; 11 you may be retested with a different type, size or model of a FFP3 mask. You should perform and pass a fit test before wearing a FFP3 mask. Moreover, it is important to know that every time you wear a FFP3 mask, you should perform a fit check; this should not substitute a fit test. ./cache/cord-271612-dmgb3gta.txt ./txt/cord-271612-dmgb3gta.txt
