Introduction

GB19083-2023 Standard Overview

GB19083-2023 "Technical Requirements for Medical Protective Masks" is the latest standard for self-priming filter masks used in medical environments, replacing the original GB19083-2010. This standard has made a number of technical improvements on the original basis, adding terms and definitions such as dead cavity and total leakage rate, and put forward higher requirements for key indicators such as filtration efficiency and respiratory resistance.

Comparison of standard frameworks

Standard version	Main new content	Technical improvements	Scope of application
GB19083-2010	- No dead space, total leakage rate definition - No clear biocompatibility requirements	- Delete surface moisture resistance requirements - Modify microbial index detection method	Applicable to masks for filtering particulate matter in medical environments
GB19083-2023	+ Dead space, total leakage rate definition + Biocompatibility requirements	+ Respiratory resistance test method + Improvement of resistance to synthetic blood penetration	Added requirements for chemical gas protection

Analysis of key indicators

Filtration efficiency: The standard stipulates that under different flow conditions, the filtration efficiency of masks for non-oily particles should meet the requirements of Table 1. New technical requirements for breathing resistance and total leakage rate have been added to ensure the effectiveness and comfort of masks during use.

Technical evolution analysis

Technical improvements from GB19083-2010 to GB19083-2023

New content: Definitions of terms such as dead space and total leakage rate have been added, and requirements for mask tightness and wearing comfort have been added.
Technical optimization: The test method for resistance to synthetic blood penetration has been modified to improve the ability of masks in liquid protection.
Testing standards: The testing process of microbial indicators is refined to ensure the sterility and safety of the product.

Implementation recommendations

To ensure that medical protective masks meet the requirements of GB19083-2023, it is recommended to:

Choose compliant products that have undergone rigorous testing.
Perform a fit test to ensure that the mask fits the wearer's face.
Follow the instructions for use and wear and maintain the mask correctly.
Regularly check the status of the mask to avoid using damaged or deformed products.
