Q. What about Versaflo filter replacement?
A. To maintain the optimum protection level and the effective lifetime of the 3M Versaflo system, it is extremely important to change the filter when it has become saturated. The lifetime of a 3M Versaflo filter depends on a number of factors including the nature of what substance/particulate you are filtering against, the density of that substance in the air and the environment its being used in. For example, a stonemason who generates significant particulate contamination may have a filter last a matter of weeks, whereas a user within healthcare who is using the same kind of filter for protecting against pathogens may have their filter last for many months.

However, unlike traditional non-powered face masks which require constant visual inspection to ensure your filter is not depleted, or for you to perhaps taste or smell the particulates you’re breathing in before you know its time to swap the filter out, the 3M Versaflo system intelligently detects and informs you once your filter is ready to be replaced. Once your filter has reached approximately 75% saturation, the Versaflo will alert you via a visual and audio warning system. This warning allows you plenty of time to replace the filter in your system, ensuring that you’re never left without the protection that you need.

There is a misconception that these kinds of filters can be cleaned and re-used repeatedly and it is of paramount importance to note that this is absolutely not the case. Soaking the filter, cleaning it with a damp cloth or compressed air and continuing to re-use it will likely lead to damaging your 3M Versaflo system entirely as well as compromising the safety of the user.
