N95口罩

Definition from Wikipedia:
N95口罩是指符合美国国家职业安全卫生研究所(NIOSH)规定的NIOSH空气过滤等级标准“N95”级别、可阻挡95%直径0.3微米以上的非油性颗粒(“N”即“Not resistant to oil”)的口罩,其最大特点是可以预防由患者体液或血液飞溅引起的飞沫传播。
Example sentences:
N95型口罩是NIOSH(美国国家职业安全卫生研究所,National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health)认证的9种颗粒物防护口罩中的一种。 (Baidu)
N95口罩和KN95口罩都是很火的口罩,这些名称方面的差异,怎么理解? 奉成高:两种名称的差异,其实均是颗粒物防护口罩,只是对应的标准不同。KN95是中国标准GB 2626中的概念,N95是美国联邦法规中的概念,二者测试方法类似、主要技术参数基本相同,简而言之都要求非油性颗粒物的过滤效率达到95%以上。 (PR Newswire)
3M是美国最大医用防护口罩生产商,尤以生产N95口罩闻名。随着新冠肺炎疫情在美国蔓延,美国全国各地不少医院遭遇医用防护用品紧缺。 (人民网)

N95呼吸器

As for the mass public, it's generally called N95口罩(mask)
Definition from own experience or research:
N95呼吸器 is an official/technical term of a PPE widely used in medical care, particularly since the outbreak of covid19.
Example sentences:
N95口罩其实属于呼吸器 (respirator),呼吸器是一种呼吸防护设备,在设计上相较于普通口罩来说贴合面部更加紧密,可以非常有效地过滤空气中的颗粒物。其中,N表示Not resistant to oil, 可以用于防护非油性悬浮颗粒;95的意思是过滤效率大于等于95%,表明经过仔细测试后,这种呼吸器可以阻挡至少95%的非常小的(0.3微米级别)测试颗粒。 从设计上,如果按照对佩戴者自身的防护能力优先级排名的话(从高到低):N95口罩>外科口罩>普通医用口罩>普通棉口罩。 如果佩戴正确,N95的过滤能力是要优于普通口罩和医用口罩的。但是,即使佩戴完全符合要求,也无法100%消除感染疾病或死亡的风险。 KN95是中国标准GB2626-2006中规定的级别之一 N95是美国标准42 CFR 84中规定的级别之一。 这两个级别的技术要求、测试方法等基本一致, 都是对应标准下过滤效率达到95%。 (N95口罩其实属于呼吸器 (respirat)
