Kettering Health Network has developed a reprocessing system for N95 masks. Providers are asked to follow this procedure when done with their mask after each shift:
Disposal of N95 for Reprocessing
- Go to nearest designated Dirty Utility Room
- Place N95 Mask in bin marked “Used N95
Masks Only”
- If the mask is dirty with visual soilage (bodily fluid, blood, or makeup) you must dispose in bio container within Dirty Utility Room
- Do not put in bin for reprocessing
- Place brown bag in Dirty Utility trash can
- For soiled: Dispose in biohazard trash
Do not put brown bags in bin for reprocessing
