In this document medical masks are defined as surgical or procedure masks that are flat or pleated (some are shaped like cups); they are affixed to the head with straps. They are tested according to a set of standardized test methods (ASTM F2100, EN 14683, or equivalent) that aim to balance high filtration, adequate breathability and optionally, fluid penetration
resistance. This document does not focus on respirators; for guidance on use of respirators see IPC guidance during health
care when COVID-19 infection is suspected
