Jan 26, 2024In response to questions from AHA and others and informed by testing results, the Food and Drug Administration April 21 announced that health care providers without alternative options may continue to use a certain version of the O&M Halyard FLUIDSHIELD Surgical N95 Respirator Mask for fluid barrier protection if they wear a face shield over the respirator.
The agency April 12 announced () that health care providers and consumers should not use certain N95 respirators made by O&M Halyard because they do not meet quality and performance expectations, and should not use certain surgical masks and pediatric face masks made by the company for fluid barrier protection. FDA continues to evaluate quality and performance information for these products and will provide updates as more information becomes available. The agency said it also continues to work with providers to assist with challenges and can help them find alternative sources and products.
