Dear: Steve
REFERENCE: Alpha Solway 3030V&Alpha S
As commercially accredited flt}fitFace Fit Testers, we thought we would take this opportunity toinform you of the good consistent results we always achieve testing your Alpha Solway masks.
We are accredited in Qualitative, Quantitative and N95, but always use the Quantitative Method(Portacount 8038 Pro + with N95J as this gives more accurate results, quicker tests and a printedcertificate with numeric results. Many types of disposable respirators tested on our Portacount have a
high failure rate, from the lower brand to the higher brand manufacturers. We have found that theAlpha Solway 3030V andAlpha.Shave proved to provide the best disposable respirator results. Wehave a very low failure rate and on average the test results are between 400 to a 1000 pass level.Considering the mask only has a pass Ievel requirement of l-00, our L4 years of experience shows this tobe the best we have come across,
After much research with other brands, we chose your masks due to;
1 the unrivalled pass rate when testing;2 the moulded cup and pre-formed nose bridge;3 the excellent foam seal & broad 4-point adjuster straps;4 they are a medium range, cost effective mask on average f,3 each. We have found from the mostexpensive e.g. Moldex and 3M which cost f,S to f,6+ do not always compare to your pass levels.
-=:lf++havealse fu**dtlla+budget variants.withmetal.nose+lipsrstarttolose$eir shape during the+estand begin to fail. Those which do pass have readings of 150 - 400 on average. As fit testers it is a worryas you would agree that when they are being worn in a work environment we cannot be sure that theuser will not adjust the nose clip and put the face seal at risk. This is why we always recommend amoulded cup mask without a nose clip.
We have included two certificates with average results that were achieved, which may interest you.Please continue to produce good products like these as we will always recommend the 3030V to ourclients and promote your products.
Yours SincerelyreLee Hine and Paul Chamberlain
