# N95 Mask Fitting
[HWS Clinical Ops](https://clinical.healthtrustjobs.com/author/hws-clinical-ops) on Jun 18, 2019, 11:00:29 AM
**The importance of N95 mask fitting for those who perform direct patient care**
1. *What does N95 stand for?*
N stands for non-oil based molecules. 95 stands for 95% of protection. N95 masks provide us 95% of protection against airborne transmitted diseases with non-oil based small particles. An example of such airborne transmitted diseases is Tuberculosis.
2. *What about the other 5% of protections?*
If we want to protect ourselves from airborne transmitted diseases, 95% of protection does not seem to be enough. Where does the other 5% come from? Properly putting on and removing the mask after each use, performing mask fitting at least once a year, and ALWAYS selecting the properly fitted mask to wear provide the remaining 5% of protection.
3. *How often should you perform mask fitting?*
The answer is AT LEAST once a year. Mask fitting should be performed again if there is any facial structure changes including significant amount of weight change. Educations information in regards to how to properly putting on and taking off the mask should be refreshed as well at each mask fitting session.
Please contact Lilly Ranney, BSN, RN at 954-514-1631 if you have any questions in regards to N95 mask fitting.
