iMask+ Face Shields delivered to facilities should be considered as being non-sterile.
The iMask+ Face Shield product is suitable for multiple uses with appropriate cleaning between patients.
Face shields are generally not used alone, but in conjunction with other protective equipment and are therefore classified as adjunctive personal protective equipment. Guidelines for their use vary between governmental agencies and professional societies and little research is available regarding their efficacy.
Therefore, it is imperative that each hospital should determine appropriate use / reuse protocols based on a review of the product by the hospital's Infection Control group.
We recommend each person to have a personalised iMask+ Face Shield. Some may even wish to have extras so that previous ones have time to be sanitised ready for use the next day.
