The 3M™ Fit Test Hood FT-14 is used with 3M™ Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus Kit FT-10 Sweet and FT-30 Bitter as the test environment.

Test kits and accessories designed to help your organisation meet AS/NZS 1715:2009 mandatory fit testing of respirators for compliance. The products can be used to check face-to-respirator seal on any particulate respirator or gas/vapour respirator with a particulate pre-filter. 3M™ offers two Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus Kits FT-10 (Sweet) and FT-30 (Bitter). FT-10 uses a test solution of sodium saccharin that produces a sweet tasting aerosol. FT-30 uses a test solution of denatonium benzoate to produce a very bitter taste. The choice between the bitter and sweet test kit is a personal one. However, a small percentage of the population is unable to detect saccharin in which case the bitter test must be used.
