CLIN 0001: Reusable Healthcare Elastomeric Respirator (RHER) - Conceptual Prototypes: Qty: 1 Job



STATEMENT of WORK
Rev 01
Reusable Healthcare Elastomeric Respirator (RHER) - Conceptual Prototypes
I. Background
Healthcare providers are considering the use of reusable filtering ori-nasal masks instead of disposable N95 filter half-masks to mitigate the effect of depleting stocks of disposable masks during times of high demand such as during a pandemic. Although three manufactures have products drawn from their industrial line and modified for healthcare use, these products are not fully optimized for the required purpose.


NIOSH has invested into developing a Facepiece as part of the research into next generation CCERs to be worn comfortably and continuously by mineworkers during their daily work routines as well as function as an escape breathing apparatus in the event of an emergency. The Facepiece of the CCER is designed to be rapidly donned, be comfortable in use and through which intelligible verbal communication is possible. Major aspects of this Facepiece design such as the mask skirt and speech diaphragm can be utilized with some modification for the Healthcare Elastomeric Mask.



II. Project Objectives
The objective of this project is to design and produce conceptual prototypes of Reusable Healthcare Elastomeric Respirators (RHER) that meets the specific requirements of the healthcare worker. These conceptual prototypes will be evaluated by respiratory protection and healthcare experts at NIOSH - NPPTL. A drawing package and report will be generated for record of the work completed. Through this approach, a conceptual custom design for the healthcare worker's needs and application in their working environment will be available for further research and development.


III. Configuration and Design
The RHER will consist of an ori-nasal mask body incorporating an exhalation valve, filter attachment ports, and possibly a speech diaphragm. A head harness assembly to be donned quickly and worn comfortably. The RHER would be low profile and ergonomically designed to allow the user a wide field of vision. The ori-nasal mask, attachments and harness would be cleanable and reusable. It would incorporate N95 Particulate filter element(s) that would be disposable after use. Other important features would be:
• Non-threatening appearance and color for the benefit of the patient
• Silicone face contact surfaces
• Exhaled breath directed away from patient
• Splash guards to protect against fluid ingress through service ports
• Packable for storing in small spaces
• Easy to dismantle (and assemble) without tools for cleaning and disinfecting


Tabulated details of the required features, suggested material, design criteria and related comments are given below.


RHER Feature Type Suggested Material Design Criteria Comments
General features Comfortable fit, long term use, no skin irritation, easy donning, low bulk, low weight, low odor, no deformation, aesthetic, durable, cleanable, reusable, affordable
Mask body structure Ori-nasal encapsulating nose and mouth Hypoallergenic transparent silicone rubber, white or light blue color Face contact fit NIOSH panel sizes Medium/ Small/ Short-Wide Use NIOSH digital 3-D headforms.
Mask body performance Ori-nasal encapsulating nose and mouth Low dead space, heat transmitting, moisture draining CO2 concentration, temperature and humidity tests
Exhalation valve Mushroom on carrier with deflector Polymer based & plastic Able to exhaust gas without breaking face seal. Deflector to direct gas rearward NIOSH breathing resistance tests acc. 42CFR84K
Communicating Speech diaphragm Passive vibration Plastic/ Mylar Transmit speech intelligibly Speech clarity tests
Inhalation Filter port(s) Bayonet or recess capture Plastic Gas tight compound seal filter connection
Inhalation Filter element N95 grade with splash guard Fiber media & plastic fiber formed onto carrier with splash guard N95 filter media sourced commercially
Head harness Two strap, adjustable, permanently attached Polymer based Secure positioning, long stretch, hair friendly
Shape, appearance Low profile, continuous contours, non-threatening Good downward view without obstruction Contoured close to N95 disposable filter mask
Disassembly Without tools Minimize number of parts
Cleaning and disinfecting Fully immiscible in liquid cleaner and disinfectant Disposable filter, mask assembly to minimize liquid entrapment Compatible with commercial cleaners, disinfectants
Case/ box Clamshell carry case Plastic To contain a mask and two sets filters
Storage Mask and filters separate 10 year shelf life <Not for prototypes>



IV. Project Tasks and Deliverables
The project will commence with research and feature evaluation in order to determine conceptually the best design direction. Then, detailed drawings with materials and performance / design requirements will be created and the conceptual prototypes constructed. Conceptual RHER prototypes must be capable of being bench tested to evaluate their performance on NIOSH breathing machines. Information from the Configuration and Design Criteria section above will be used as a guideline in producing the outputs and deliverables for the RHER conceptual prototypes. Tooling and other parts as required must be produced for this purpose. Some individual parts may be machined or 3D printed instead of making tooling. The complete assembly must be resilient enough for bench testing.


Tasks:
1. Propose to NIOSH - NPPTL a set of final performance needs for the RHER prototypes after considering (a) input from stakeholders, (b) the required features given in the Configuration and Design section above, and (c) a House of Quality Assessment conducted by members of the user population to identify the relevance and importance of the various design features.
2. Developed a design concept from this input then produce a solid model and/ or conceptual drawings.
3. Gain approval on the conceptual design from the program office
4. Finalize the design and produce conceptual prototypes. Note: Preliminary prototypes need to be constructed for analysis purposes. This would be an iterative process where multiple prototypes will need to be made and checked to improve the design incrementally.


The deliverables from this project will be a design package, report and prototype items, namely the conceptual RHER prototype and associated documentation as follows:
1. One (1) package (on readable CD) Solid model/ drawings of conceptual RHER prototypes
2. Ten (10) Conceptual prototypes.
3. One (1) Report of the RHER conceptual design


V. Project Reviews
1. Concept design review - A design review meeting will be held at the contractor's site to review and discuss the RHER concept, drawings
2. Subsequent meetings will be held as necessary at NIOSH Pittsburgh, or contractor site. A maximum of two visits to NIOSH's Pittsburgh facility are expected by the contractor.


VI. Project Support
NIOSH-NPPTL respirator experts will be consulted to draw on their expertise on mask designs
