Intended Use
The 3M Half Facepiece Respirators, 5000 Series are NIOSH approved and designed to help provide respiratory protection against certain airborne contaminants when used in accordance with all use instructions and limitations and applicable safety and health regulations.
This product contains no components made from natural rubber latex.
This respirator helps reduce exposures to certain airborne contaminants. Before use, the wearer must read and understand the User Instructions provided as a part of the product packaging. Follow all local regulations. In the U.S., a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA 1910.134, including training, fit testing and medical evaluation. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Misuse may result in sickness or death. For proper use, see package instructions, supervisor, or call 3M PSD Technical Service in USA at 1-800-243-4630 and in Canada at 1-800-267-4414.
3M Half Facepiece Respirators, 5000 Series are manufactured as integral assemblies and the chemical cartridges are not replaceable. Do not use if the cartridges have been removed. Failure to follow User Instructions may result in sickness or death.
Before use, wearer must read and understand these User Instructions. Keep these User Instructions for reference.
Use For
Respiratory protection from certain airborne contaminants according to NIOSH approvals, OSHA standards, in Canada CSA standard Z94.4-93 requirements, other applicable regulations and 3M instructions.
Do Not Use For
Concentrations of contaminants which are immediately dangerous to life and health, are unknown or when concentrations exceeds 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) or according to specific OSHA standards or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower.
The following restrictions may apply. See NIOSH approval label.
Before using any of these products, the user must read the specific use for, use limitations and warning information in the User Instructions and product packaging. For questions, visit www.3m.com/PPESafety, or call 3M Personal Safety Division (PSD) Technical Service at 1-800-243-4630. In Canada, call Technical Service at 1-800-267-4414. Do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by local regulatory agencies. For NIOSH approval, refer to approval label.
3M Half Facepiece Respirators, 5000 Series must be used before the expiration date on respirator packaging. The useful service life of these respirators will depend upon the activity of the wearer (breathing rate), specific type, volatility and concentration of contaminants and environmental conditions such as humidity, pressure, and temperature. Respirators must be replaced in accordance with an established change schedule, or replaced earlier if smell, taste or irritation from the contaminant is detected.

Must be followed each time respirator is worn.
Positive Pressure User Seal Check
Place the palm of your hand over the exhalation valve cover and exhale gently, see Fig. 4. If the facepiece bulges slightly and no air leaks are detected between your face and the faceseal, a proper fit has been obtained. If faceseal air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on your face and/or readjust the tension of the elastic straps to eliminate the leakage. Repeat the above steps. If you cannot achieve a proper fit, do not enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor.
Negative Pressure User Seal Check
Place the palms of the hands to cover the face of the cartridge or open area of 3M Filter Retainer 501 when the retainer is attached to the cartridge, to restrict airflow, see Fig. 5. Inhale gently. If you feel the facepiece collapse slightly and pull closer to your face with no leaks between the face and the faceseal, a proper fit has been obtained. If faceseal air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face and/or readjust the tension of the elastic straps to eliminate the air leakage. Repeat the above steps. If you cannot achieve a proper fit, do not enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor.
NOTE: Before assigning any respirator to be worn in a contaminated area, a qualitative or quantitative fit test must be performed per OSHA Standard 1910.134 or CSA Standard Z94.4.
The effectiveness of a respirator will be reduced if it is not fitted properly. Therefore, either quantitative or qualitative fit testing must be conducted prior to the respirator being issued.
NOTE: Fit testing is a U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Canadian CSA requirement.
Quantitative Fit Testing
Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT) can be conducted using a 3M Quantitative Fit Test Respirator Assembly, 6000 Series.
Qualitative Fit Testing
Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) with the 3M Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus, FT-10 or FT-30 can be conducted using the 3M Respirator Assembly 5000 Series equipped with 3M Particulate Filters 5N11 or 5P71, and 3M Retainers 501.
Fit testing should be conducted while wearing the personal protective equipment (PPE) the wearer may use in their work environment that may affect the fit of the respirator (e.g. hoods, hardhats, safety glasses, hearing protections, etc.).
NOTE: For further information concerning fit testing, visit www.3m.com/PPESafety or contact 3M PSD Technical Service at 1-800-243-4630 or a 3M location in your region. In Canada call Technical Service at 1-800-267-4414.
