FAQ – Armbrust American

Armbrust surgical masks have five parts: the elastic ear loops, nose wire, and three layers of non-woven fabric made from polypropylene plastic. The middle layer, called meltblown, has an electrostatic charge that makes it very effective at filtering out particulate matter as small as 0.1 microns.

ASTM Certification is given to products like face masks to determine the level of filtration effectiveness. Masks undergo extensive testing by a trusted third-party laboratory, and assigned one of three ratings:

Level 1 - Unable to filter out microscopic particulate matter (such as viruses), NOT rated for medical use. Level 1 masks are unregulated by agencies like the FDA.

Level 2 - Able to filter out particulate matter of microscopic viruses such as the novel coronavirus. Level 2 masks must be FDA listed to gain approval for medical use. Product CANNOT be called “surgical” without it.

Level 3 - Meets all the requirements necessary for Level 2 certification. Additionally, Level 3 rated masks must pass synthetic blood and fluid penetration testing. Level 3 rated masks must also be FDA-listed for medical use.

Yes, Armbrust American Surgical Masks are FDA Listed, meaning they have passed extensive and rigorous testing and are officially approved for medical use.

An FDA-Listed surgical mask differs from masks included in the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) list, which the government agency developed in response to a shortage of PPE at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. EUA face masks only have temporary authorization, but are not verified for quality and safety.
