      What is Qualitative Fit Testing?<\/h3>

      Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) checks if your respirator seals properly. It uses harmless test
      \nagents (sweet Saccharin or bitter Bitrex) inside a hood.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • If you taste the solution, the mask is leaking \u2192 test fails.<\/li>\n
      • If you do not taste it, the mask fits properly \u2192 test passes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
