The tubing set on the OHD QuantiFit2 consists of three tubes colored blue, gray, and transparent. However, the specific function of each tube is not detailed in the provided information.
Or, at a later time, data can be imported into Logic software (when Logic and the QuantiFit2 have been set up for merging or synchronizing data). The instrument is not compatible with FitTrack Gold, which comes with the original Quantifit.
The QuantiFit2 does not trap air in its system either before, during or after a fit test. The QuantiFit2 does not push air into the mask. The QuantiFit2 pulls air away from the test subjects mask and vents it out of the system.

EPA approved disinfectant as these have been shown to efficiently inactivate over 99% of microorganisms (to include COVID-19) within a minute. The adapter should be dry before use in a fit test. The QuantiFit2 tubing should be carefully wiped down with an EPA approved disinfectant.
When the challenge pressure is reached, if there isn’t a leak, the QuantiFit2 doesn’t remove any more air from the respirator. If there is a leak, air enters the respirator. The QuantiFit2 then removes air from the respirator until the challenge pressure returns to the targeted value. This process continues for 8 seconds, and then the test step ends.

Auto Start o Auto Start is turned on by default. o When this features is turned on, the QuantiFit2 assesses when the test subject is ready for the test to begin. o The test subject takes in a breath and holds it until the circle in the lower right corner turns green.
Redon Delay is the number of seconds to delay the QuantiFit2 while the test subject redons the respirator so that auto start is not analyzing samples while the redon is taking place.
Admin Menu The Admin Menu is a directory for settings that could potentially cause unwanted changes to the QuantiFit2. These settings should be changed only by a person who has been trained and understands the purpose of each setting. Setup Operators o Operator setup is necessary to record those people who will be running the tests.
There are numerous reset options according to which information needs to be reset. Clear People List will remove all of the people in the current database. This would be helpful if another entity will use the QuantiFit2, or to upload a fresh list of names for a new year of testing.
This option will not erase any of the information listed above. Reset to Factory Settings will remove all data on the Quantifit2 and it will operate as though it is the very first time the unit is powered up.

When the traceline does not lift above the bottom of the graph, this indicates that there is a large leak between the QuantiFit2 and the person wearing the respirator. This would be related to a leak in the integrity of the respirator, a poor donning, or poor fit of the respirator.
Page 55
Failure to reach challenge pressure Like the large leak, when the traceline does not reach the challenge pressure line, this indicates that there is a moderate leak between the QuantiFit2 and the person wearing the respirator. 1. Check all connections for proper attachment.
Page 56
Traceline way above challenge pressure line The QuantiFit2 traceline goes opposite of the direction of the pressure. If the line is above the challenge pressure line, that means that there is too much negative pressure. In this case, a test subject is most likely sucking in a breath during the test.
When fit factors are consistently low, the respirator may be a poor fit for that person. If the graph looks normal and the fit factor is low, that means that the QuantiFit2 is successful in meeting the challenge pressure, but a large volume of air is required to be removed to achieve that targeted pressure, which means the leak is too large.
If the QuantiFit2 finishes passes the daily verification procedure, this assures that the instrument is operating properly and measuring within tolerance. c. If the QuantiFit2 is not able to complete the Daily Verification Check, service will be needed. Please contact OHD customer service.
