does this product protected you from airborn virus

We use N-95 in the hospital for protection from everything including TB. I've never cared for an Ebola or Aides patient in isolation so I can't say as to the smaller viruses. I'm pretty sure its ok for the usual diseases. It is made as a particulate filter, for industry. I would write the company to be sure. One thing on any mask it must fit tight all around. This mask is too big for my face. In the hospital we have to be fitted to make sure there are no leaks. Good luck, make sure this is the right thing for you as you can only use a mask for a disease once.

According to some sources, yes. But I would prefer an escape hood designed for this, or actual certified gas mask. Whatever you use, make sure it fits well.

NO, it does NOT! i know for a fact that n95 masks do not protect from viruses. And I am certain that these n100s don't either. Otherwise, they would say so. These are to protect your from larger airborne contaminants, but not viruses, because the size of the virus is too small to capture in these masks. it will help capture spittle from a patient already infected, but that is the only way it should be used to prevent the spread of viruses.

Angel of the Springs... You work in a hospital and spell AIDs "aides". What kind of a moran are you?

No, this will not protect you against a zombie apocalypse as zombies are not created through airborne particles. You need a different kind of protection that would protect you from bites, scrapes, etc... it might help if you smashed a zombie in the head with the filter but there are many other tools to help you in those situations. I HIGHLY recommend this kit from Gerber for better protection: http://www.gerbergear.com/Apocalypse/Gear/Apocalypse-Kit_30-000601 Good luck, and remember... don't stare at the flowers. ;)

It comes with a plastic security on it, like mouthwash. Not under the cap though because it has a dropper attached to the cap.

I don't recall what it says on the packaging--now discarded. When I have used the air tamer, I have not been exposed to pet dander. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I'm not a qualified health worker but can answer this question from a common knowledge basis. The Ebola virus is not an airborne virus. It is transmitted by direct contact. Per the WHO, "Ebola ...spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids." So, generally this respirator will not directly defend or protect one from the Ebola virus. However, it can provide secondary or indirect protection. Wearing the respirator will protect the mouth, nose and parts of the face from exposure to or contact with infected hands or other body parts or body fluids/blood. This is the best response that I can give. I recommend contacting qualified health care workers for more information.

It comes with virus protection for a limited time. However, you could get free virus protection software from http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus.

This sounds like a question for the manufacturer. I only use it according to mfg. instructions. Though it doesn't sound like a bad idea, but I'm not the one to ask. Hope this helps. I would add: if you go ahead with your plan to please wear a good respirator.

Hello Cindy,Thank you for contacting Tools for Wellness! The Wein Mini Mate is a great product! It's our best selling Personal air purifier. Although the devise works very well and will certainly assist you in your battle against allergens its difficult for me to say it will absolutely work for you. It works very well for most people and the reviews/feedback we get is very positive. But, everyone is different and depending ton the severity its difficult to say its the only tool you'll need. Sorry to be vague... I hope this helps. Thank you! Gail

First, Ebola is not an airborne virus, so no mask is required as a preventative. Second, this mask is a microbial preventative, but not a viral preventative as far as I know. It only filters up to .3 microns and I think most viruses are smaller than that. If you are only concerned in regard to clean-up, for example, any old mask will do. But if you are worried about catching Ebola, you just don't need a mask.

NO, strictly for particulates. Infectious disease protection would require positive air pressure suit supplied with sterile air. Remember infectious organisms can enter through eyes, ears, cuts, scrapes, etc. This mask is NOT for protection from infectious diseases.

According to the cdc, masks rated n95 or better will stop the virus when it is in liquid drops,, ect. If the virus mutates to an airborn varity, then none of these types of filters would work, as the virus itself is two small. The mask is rated p100, which is even better rated then the cdc recommends. It also resists oil based droplets. And is oil rated, that's what the p in p100 stands for

according to literature, its for viruses. I returned mine and was informed that it was defective. I no longer own this unit

I can not give and honest answer, as I long used one bottle. I can tell I did not get sick on it

Yes it does, give you about a 3 foot space around you. Hang it from you neck and it will be directed toward your face. I had a operation in the past few weeks. I used it when I went out in public so as not to catch any germs. I have not been sick while using it. I was around my granddaughter who was sick too. I think this is a good product. I bought it to use on airline flights, but have come up with many more uses for it.

I don't believe a respirator is necessary. I don't use one for this application. I do however, always use protective goggles or safty glasses. The product is great, I just mix with water in a pump sprayer and go. It kills about every bug that creeps, crawls or flies. One tip though, if you are using it to control mosquitos by applying it under roof eaves and under low hanging leaves(where mosquitos hide during the hot hours of the day), pick a day when there is no wind to apply the product so it doesn't blow back in your face.

I've emailed the seller of this product, Hospitology, because I have a dust mite allergy and was wondering the same thing. They responded extremely quick and said that this mattress encasement also protects against dust mites.
