Mckesson Procedure Mask ASTM Level 1 Earloops One Size Fits Most
McKesson® ASTM Level 1 Earloop Procedure Face Masks (Blue)
ASTM Level 1 Medical Barrier Certification, 3-Layer Nonwoven SMS Construction, >95% BFE & PFE Filtration Efficiency, 80 mm Hg Fluid Resistance, Flexible Metal Nose Bridge, and 100% Latex-Free Earloops
Executing general clinical exams, outpatient triage, laboratory work, or routine personal protection requires a dependable, breathable face mask engineered to block airborne particulate matter and fluid spray without causing breathing resistance. Basic dust masks lack clinical fluid resistance ratings, while heavy Level 3 surgical masks can trap heat during general care. The McKesson® ASTM Level 1 Earloop Procedure Face Masks offer an ideal balance of certified barrier safety, low breathability resistance, and long-wear comfort.
Engineered with a 3-layer nonwoven SMS architecture—featuring spunbond polypropylene inner and outer facing around a meltblown polypropylene filter media core—these masks meet strict ASTM Level 1 medical barrier standards. Delivering greater than 95% Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) and Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE) alongside 80 mm Hg synthetic blood fluid resistance, they protect against light fluid exposure. Complete with a flexible metal nose bridge that contours to the nasal crest, soft elastic earloops, a dual-color design (blue outer/white inner) to prevent reverse donning, and 100% latex-free construction, they ensure reliable daily clinical protection.
Key Performance Features & Benefit Highlights
- ASTM Level 1 Certified Protection: Tested and certified to conform with ASTM F2100 Level 1 medical barrier performance standards for low-fluid clinical tasks.
- High-Efficiency 3-Layer Filter Core: Spunbond polypropylene outer and inner layers shield a high-density meltblown middle layer to trap airborne contaminants.
- >95% BFE & PFE Filtration Rating: Blocks greater than 95% of airborne bacteria and sub-micron particulates down to 0.1 microns in size.
- 80 mm Hg Fluid Resistance Barrier: Resists penetration from synthetic blood and fluid splashes at 80 mm Hg pressure.
- Low-Delta-P High Breathability (<5.0 mm H₂O/cm²): Superior differential pressure rating keeps cooler air flowing across the mask, minimizing heat build-up during long shifts.
- Dual-Color Correct Donning Guide: Opaque blue outer layer and soft white inner layer ensure fast, foolproof orientation for proper barrier positioning.
- Flexible Metal Nose Bridge Strip: Moldable metallic bridge strip adapts across the nose and cheekbones to secure a customized seal and reduce eyewear fogging.
- Soft Stretch Elastic Earloops: Soft, non-irritating elastic ear loops stretch smoothly without digging into skin behind the ears.
- 100% Natural Rubber Latex-Free: Formulated strictly without natural rubber latex to protect sensitive staff and patients from allergic skin reactions.
- 100% FSA / HSA Eligible: Qualified personal protective equipment eligible for pre-tax Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account reimbursement.
Infection Prevention & Safety Specialist Insight: ASTM Level 1 masks are the gold standard for general patient care, dental hygiene, and office triage. The low Delta-P rating (<5.0) ensures low airflow resistance, preventing moisture buildup inside the pleats while providing certified >95% bacterial and particulate filtration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does ASTM Level 1 mean for a medical face mask?
A: ASTM Level 1 masks are certified for low-risk clinical applications where light fluid splash or aerosol exposure may occur. They require >95% bacterial and particulate filtration and 80 mm Hg fluid splash resistance.
Q: Which side of the mask should face outward?
A: The blue outer layer faces away from your face (toward the room), and the soft white inner layer rests directly against your mouth and skin.
Q: Does this mask contain natural rubber latex?
A: No. The mask pleats, fabric, metal nose strip, and elastic earloops are manufactured completely free of natural rubber latex.
Retail Disclaimer: Technical specifications, barrier ratings, and compliance parameters are compiled directly from manufacturer technical reference indexes (McKesson Healthcare). EnhDme recommends selecting appropriate ASTM level masks based on clinical exposure risk. This product is an ASTM Level 1 procedure face mask line.
