PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FITTING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method for performing automated respirator mask fit testing are described. An example embodiment is configured to obtain, with one or more processors, at least one three-dimensional facial image of an individual; convert the facial image to numerical data for analysis, the numerical data representative of facial features, facial dimensions, and/or facial locations on the face of the individual; determine, based on the numerical data, a face volume for the individual; and generate a mask fit pass (or fail) indication responsive to the face volume and/or the numerical data satisfying (or not satisfying) respirator model and size specific fit criteria. The principles described herein may also be applied for other personal protective equipment such as industrial head protection, ballistic helmets, eye and face protection, hand protection, and clothing.
