Title: NIOSH-Approved Disposable Filtering Facepiece Respirators for Use in Health Care Settings During Response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency EUA (Emergency Use Authorization)

URL: https://www.fda.gov/media/135763/download

Collection: Global Health Events web archive

Description: This nine-page letter, reissued multiple times, authorizes certain National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved respirators not currently regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used in a health care setting by health care personnel during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, thereby maximizing the number of respirators available to meet the needs of the U.S. health care system. When properly fitted, respirators, such as N95s, can filter more airborne particles than face masks, which is important during an outbreak of a respiratory disease like COVID-19.
