Peke Safety Power Cap PAPR Comprehensive Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- This is my personal review of the Peke Safety PAPR powered P2 mask. This mask uses P2 filter cartridges with a full face shield making it the ultimate COVID-19 mask for people who get hot in normal N95 or paper masks. Supplied P2 filter cartridges remove dust and other airborne contaminants with at least 98% efficiency down to .3 microns while air is moved across the face with a flow rate of 160 liters per minute. This exceeds the requirements of an N95 particulate face mask according to Peke Safety. The opinions expressed in this video are my own and are not from Peke Safety.

I have one and I LOVE it. I actually use it in the ER and ICU taking care of COVID patients. HOWEVER, it does not protect other people from you. It does not filter exhaled air, so although it will definitely protect you, it's important to use a basic surgical mask at minimum while having it on like I do in the hospital.
Good to know.
So I told several doctor friends about this product and they are very interested in ordering. From your perspective as a doctor do you think a small lightweight machine like this is completely reliable to keep positive pressure within the unit? From what I understand if you lose positive pressure even for a moment it’s incredibly risky because unfiltered air will leak in.
I am confident as a daily wearer that yes, it’ll keep on tickin... I’ve used this in the middle of sawing walls in half with dust particles so dense you couldn’t see 8” in front of you and the motors keep churning.
I think this mask is really helpful if you get hot. No one wants or likes to wear a mask but if we gotta wear one, this is the one to wear.
I have the BioVYZR, have pre-ordered the Microclimate Air and Vinta Active Shield. This attracts me because it’s not a startup, is available immediately, allows hearing and is cooling. The only concern from reading the comments is that outgoing air isn’t filtered. Granted the other PPEs I listed aren’t NIOSH approved, so wearing a face mask with them is wise also. Lots of decisions here but thanks for the in-depth review.
I’m also really intrigued by the Vinta. But they keep pushing back the release date and it seems like by the time it comes out most of the adult population will be vaccinated. Also it confused me because it doesn’t look like it has an airtight seal but it’s also not positive pressure so how would that work?
@@rosekramer5238 Yes, the Vinta has been pushed back to June. The flex-guard part looks to provide a seal around the face. I’m unclear about the fogging since there’s fog in the bottom part in a new marketing promo with the guy with curly hair. That said, I order multiple to see how they work. I wish there was a store to check them all out to decide. Instead we have to wait months to get them. Re. vulnerable populations being vaccinated by then, I agree but there are new strains and all of this is likely to last a little while longer. Also, for travel and possibly returning to work in 2021, PPEs may still come in handy.
Clearly designed as a COVID mask, but it needs some improvement. A PAPR doesn't have to be fullt sealed to work but they made a half assed attempt at a seal on this in my opinion. Good to see companies working on this concept as it is one of the best mask types but least widely available.
I think it’s built very well. The intent of this is for hobbyists and wood workers or folks in a dusty environment. I like it for COVID because it keeps me cool
it's not at covid mask.. it works by blowing a constant supply of clean air in the mask so you don't need a tight seal and it's only designed to be used in dusty environments. And if it's not nice to wear. You're not going to use it. And full seal mask is the worst. XD
What is with the holes under the chin? Is for exhaust? That's the opposite of the point of COVID masking.
five hundred and no face shield protectors
NG
great design though
Great review! The main reason for masks is to protect other people from our potentially infected air that we exhale. Does this filter the air when we exhale it?
No it doesn't. I actually use it in the hospital when working with COVID patients, however I also wear a surgical mask with it to protect other people from me
@@valentinewudo Thanks! Is it easy to keep a mask on underneath or does it sometimes blow off?
@@valentinewudoHow do you feel it is in terms of protection compared to a standard disposable N95? Also, are you familiar with Microclimate Air? How do you think they compare?Thanks for your amazing sacrifice taking care of COVID patients, you are a hero :) Rose
@@rosekramer5238 I just read up on Microclimate! I see that hearing outside if the device is difficult because of the build and the fans, upon reading the FAQs, whereas with this Papr it covers the face just short of the ears. And you can hear everything.
@@rosekramer5238 and about the n95 - I did a lot of reading and research and this exceeds the filtration properties of the n95, plus you never have to worry about seal, discomfort
I work with paint spray guns, thinners, activators for hydrodipping, and have a beard. Would this work for me?
Yes but I think you’d want to run a p3 filter
@@Archifx should the typical filter cartridge attach ?
I’m not sure. I’d email Peke Safety about this one. Ask for Shana.
it looks like it's front heavy... how is the balance?
Very very good. I was worried about that too. You can work all day in it.
Will it work with glasses
That’s one of the main reasons I bought it. Yes!
$495.00!!!!
So if it doesn't seal completely wts the use
Read about positive pressure
@@Archifx More like... check out what POSITIVE pressure is all about, right?
Shit duh lol. Yes. Positive.
$500?! I'd rather have covid for that price
then having all the ailments covid brings with thousands of dollars in medical bills..... you're a smart kind of special cookie
Haha. Well. I’m sure you’re being sarcastic and yes it is a steep price to pay for just a COVID walking around mask but as I mention in the video it has many other uses so if you do projects or are in the trades it’s an investment in your health just as a nice tool in the toolbox is an investment in your livelihood
@@Archifx definitely sarcasm there. But in all seriousness, I lived in south florida, and having that would be a godsend with all this going on right now
@@justawfulgamer7738 I’ve bought so many masks that they’ve definitely surpassed $500. That said, I’m not spending $500 *more* ☺️
You have an Out of Pocket max of less than $500!?
I didn't know that was still a thing.
