READ INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL

WASH HANDS BEFORE CHANGING FILTERS

DO NOT SHARE YOUR MASK WITH OTHERS

With the AceMask, you simply replace the filter which costs less than a tenth of an equivalent mask. Every time you change the filter, the mask is good as new in giving you the protection you need!

ACEMASK - AFFORDABLE PROTECTION

Before understanding the problem that the AceMask solves, we need to blast some misconceptions around the use of masks.

FACT #1: CLOTH MASKS ARE GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT.

They are good to provide the first protection against aerosol splashes, but they do not stop virus from reaching your skin. They are too coarse on that scale.

This is how the fabric looks to the virus. One thousand coronavirus molecules can enter side-by-side through a single pore of this fabric.

FACT #2: N95 MASKS HAVE A LIMITED SERVICE LIFE.

Likewise, even if you get an N95 mask, it is NOT okay to keep washing and reusing it. The meltblown fabric layer simply deteriorates and stops giving you the needed protection.

We know that you do it because they cost a lot of money, and we as a race don’t believe in wastage. That’s exactly what AceMask is good for!

You need the protection of Melt blown fabric to stop the virus molecules from reaching you.

This is how a melt blown fabric looks like to the coronavirus. This image is taken at 10 times more magnification than the last image:

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO REPLACE THE ACEMASK FILTER CARTRIDGE?

Long story short - Six filters per month.

Mark one filter cartridge for each weekday. Reuse the filter marked for that weekday for the whole month, then discard the entire set.

For a detailed analysis, keep reading.

I NEED TO INHALE HARDER TO BREATHE THROUGH THE MASK. WHAT’S WRONG?

Nothing, really. The melt blown fabric inside the blue filter car-tridge (MBL5PL95N) has sub-micron pores, and it requires some effort to pull air through this filter. Don’t worry, this very layer is protecting you from the harmful virus particles!

You also have the option of using our Anti-pollution yellow filter cartridge (PP3PL25G) with the AceMask. Since it does not include the Melt blown fabric layer, inhaling will be softer. Just don’t use it in risky zones or crowded places.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CAN I WASH THE FILTER AND REUSE IT?

No.

The melt blown fabric layer, which protects us against the harmful virus, gets ineffective upon washing.

The best way to reuse the filter is, let it rest for 72 hours or more. The virus is effectively incapacitated in this duration, and you can reuse the filter up to 5 times this way.

I’M NOT COMFORTABLE WEARING ANY MASK. IS THERE A WAY OUT?

As the meme gentry says, “If you hate wearing a mask, you’re re-ally not going to like the ventilator.”

STEP 1: REMOVE THE EXISTING FILTER

Bend the lower face of the mask, so that the filter comes out.

INSERT BOTTOM EDGE

Next, insert the bottom edge of the filter as shown. It is OK to bend the filter and mask if required.

CHANGING THE FILTER

STEP 2: PUT THE NEW FILTER

Sterilize your hands. Now open a new filter. Keep the filter towards the grill of the mask, and the curved edge of the filter towards the top.

ENSURE COMPLETE FITTING OF FILTER

Apply pressure on the sides & corners of the filter to ensure it fits properly. When properly inserted, the filter will be flush against the inner surface of the mask.

INSERT TOP EDGE

Proceed by inserting the top round edge of the filter inside the mask as shown.

Remove the filter pad and use one of the following recommended procedures:

Method 1: In a medical setting, you can autoclave the mask as per standard procedures.

Method 2: Put the mask in boiling water for 2 minutes.

Method 3: Steam the mask for 10 minutes using a steamer, commonly used to sterilize feeding bottles.

Method 4: Wipe the mask thoroughly with a tissue dipped in sanitizer.

SAVINGS WITH ACEFILTER CARTRIDGESSERVICE LIFE OF THE ACEFILTER

It is all too common to find friends using their same N95 mask over and over with or without washing. This is not only unsafe, but down-right risky due to the misplaced confidence.With regards to reuse of the mask, the CDC (Centre for desease Control and Prevention, USA) dictates the following three protocols:

EXTENDED USE PROTOCOLIt dictates discarding a mask after an 8 hours use.You will need 26 AceFilters a month if you follow this protocol.

REUSE PROTOCOLUse a separate mask for every weekday, reuse up to 5 times.Because the coronavirus loses its viability after 72 hours, the CDC endorses a set of 5 or more masks, to be used in rotation, allowing a mask to rest for at least 72 hours between consecutive usages.Additional precautions are -• The masks must be stored safely between usages• A mask must be re-used not more than 5 times• Proper donning/doffing procedures must be used• Masks must not be swapped among personsYou will need 6 AceFilters a month under this protocol.

REPROCESS PROTOCOLThis involves re-sanitizing the mask by washing, disinfecting or heat-ing the mask for up to 3 times.You need 2 AceFilters per month as per this protocol.

This table assumes the cost of Rs. 400 for the N95 Mask &

Rs. 17 for the AceFilter.

THE PROBLEM

When the COVID-19 pandemic started, the first and the most im-portant thing that we ran out with was - N95 Masks.

The masks were direly needed, but the supply was never enough. The companies which were making such, or equivalent masks, were overbooked for months. The frontline fighters were not hav-ing enough, what to say of the common man. Also, not to speak of the prices that the N95 masks have sold for. We set out to see if we can do something about it.

The root cause that we came to understand was the scarcity of “Melt Blown” fabric, and that the mask had to be disposed off after a few times.

Melt-blown fabric is THE key component of a high quality mask which can protect us against tiny viral particles, like the Coronavi-rus. Factories which make the melt-blown fabric are scarce, and it isn’t easy to set up new factories as fast as the demand of the masks has risen.

With the lock down lifting, and social life resuming, a shortage of good protective equipment can mean putting ourselves at risk. We are making do with what is available, but this isn’t medical-grade protection. The only reason we aren’t availing the best protection is, short supply of the right masks, their high prices, and risk of buying counterfeit products.

STORY OF AceMask THE SOLUTION

Prudence and re-use was what became our focus of work.

If melt-blown fabric is all that costly, why do we have to make an entire disposable mask out of that? Why can’t we just use a filter pad which needs only a small piece of this fabric, so we get best protection at a fraction of the cost. Also, we won’t have to discard the entire mask, but only the filter cartridge.

The concept of using filter cartridges was not new. But existing solutions were available for entirely different applications. Rowan University and USC in the US started work to 3D print such masks, but there are certain disadvantages, it is not possible to produce them in bulk, they are inherently prone to contamination, and hard in texture. The material used is also not necessarily fit for pro-longed human contact.

We set the bar high for ourselves. We used the best medical-grade flexible resin for the mask, adhered to strict specifications to manufacture the filter pad, and did several design iterations till we were fully satisfied with the product.

We are very happy to present the result to you! Proudly and confidently use this quality product, lovingly made for you by your fellow Indians.
