Description
DermAssist PREMIER Mask ASTM Level 1 gives general patient care a comfortable, highly breathable procedure mask with an ear loop, 3-ply pleated design. Its high filtration meltblown filter meets ASTM Level 1 performance for low levels of fluid, spray and aerosols.
- ASTM Level 1 rated – Tested performance for low fluid, spray and aerosol exposure
- Meltblown filter layer – High filtration core inside a 3-ply pleated build
- Ear loop comfort – Pleated fit with ear loops for long general care shifts
- Latex free and blue – No natural rubber latex, in the standard clinical blue
Level 1 Barrier Protection for Everyday Patient Care
General patient care needs a mask that staff will actually wear for a full shift, and this design puts breathability first. The 3-ply pleated construction opens to cover the nose, mouth and chin while the meltblown filter layer does the filtration work. ASTM Level 1 testing covers fluid resistance at 80 mmHg with bacterial and particulate filtration efficiency at 95% or higher. That profile fits the low levels of fluid, spray and aerosols found in general patient care situations, which is where the manufacturer positions this mask. Innovative Healthcare Corporation makes this line under an ISO 13485:2016 certified quality system for medical devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ASTM Level 1 mean for this mask?
Level 1 is the ASTM F2100 rating for low barrier protection, with fluid resistance at 80 mmHg and filtration efficiency at 95% or higher. It suits low levels of fluid, spray and aerosols in general patient care.
What is the difference between BFE and PFE?
BFE measures the share of bacteria filtered out at a mean particle size of 3 microns. PFE measures the share of particles filtered out at 0.1 micron, and this mask reaches 95% or higher on both.
Are the masks latex free?
Yes, the manufacturer lists this mask as latex free. Staff with latex sensitivity can wear it without that exposure.
How are the masks packaged?
Each dispenser holds 50 masks and each case holds 10 dispensers, for 500 masks per case. Dispensers keep masks clean at the point of care.
When should a higher level mask be used?
Choose a higher ASTM level when care involves moderate to heavy fluid, spray or aerosol exposure. Level 1 is built for the low exposure side of general patient care.
Who makes these masks?
Innovative Healthcare Corporation of Sand Springs, Oklahoma makes them. The company is certified to ISO 13485:2016 for medical devices and has supplied healthcare since 1991.
