3M™ Sensitivity Solution FT-11, Sweet, 6 ea/Case

The 3M™ Sensitivity Solution FT-11 is used to test the sensitivity of the respirator wearer to a saccharin solution. It is used with the 3M™ Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus Kit FT-10 Sweet.

The 3M Qualitative Fit Test apparatus are designed for fit testing disposable and half face reusable respirators fitted with particulate or combination gas/vapour and particulate pre-filter. 3M™ offers two Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus Kits FT-10 (Sweet) and FT-30 (Bitter). FT-10 uses a test solution of sodium saccharin that produces a sweet tasting aerosol. FT-30 uses a test solution of denatonium benzoate to produce a very bitter taste. The choice between the bitter and sweet fit test kit is a personal one. However, a small percentage of the population is unable to detect saccharin in which case the bitter test must be used.
