The authors respond to “Disinfection of N95 respirators” [PDF]
Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2020 We believe Dr. Ponsford’s question[1][1] may be of interest to other CMAJ readers and thus would like to share our perspective on the domestic use of N95 respirator heat treatment. We tested thermal disinfection in 4 common N95 respirator models (8110s, 9105s, 8210, and 1860s; All 3M).

N95 Usage During the COVID-19 Pandemic [PDF]
Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2020 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), formerly ubiquitous and disposable in the hospital and healthcare environment, has become scarce during the COVID-19 pandemic. This shortage has precipitated creative solutions to re-use and/or extend the lifetime of PPE, most notably the N95 mask.
