3M 1860S N95 Particulate Respirator and Surgical Mask

3M has been in the process of establishing a shelf life for our healthcare filtering facepiece respirators. Traditionally the life cycle of these respirators commonly used in health care workplace applications, from date of manufacture to use by the customer, has been short in duration as they are disposable. However, with the increased attention to respirator stockpiling, many customers have requested information on storage conditions and shelf life. The shelf life determination for each respirator model is product specific, based on material components and testing and takes into consideration the respirator as a system. We have recently completed testing and data collection on the 3M 1860/1860S and based on the evaluation, a 5 year shelf-life has been established when respirators are stored in their original packaging within climatic conditions ranging from -4°F (-20°C) to +86°F (+30°C) and not exceeding 80% RH.

Here is an example of how the storage conditions and shelf life will be depicted in the Instructions for Use and on the side of the primary box respectively (this is an example only):

When stored in original packaging between temperatures from -4°F (-20°C) to +86°F (+30°C) and not exceeding 80% RH, the respirator may be used until the date specified on packaging located next to the “Use by Date” symbol.
