Will personal protective equipment protect against a specific disease?

PPE is designed to create a non-disease specific barrier to penetration of substances, solid, liquid, or airborne particles. In general, neither FDA nor the manufacturer can provide assurances that PPE will protect you against a specific disease. The data that the FDA uses for the evaluation and clearance of PPE rarely includes performance evaluation or testing against particular viruses, such as Ebola or flu. If performance data has met FDA requirements and demonstrate protection against a specific disease, the product labeling will state the claim for protection against a particular virus or bacteria.

Should caregivers use PPE to help protect against infection when caring for a sick person at home?

In some circumstances, a health care provider may recommend that caregivers use PPE when caring for a sick person at home. It is essential to know that the use of PPE alone will not fully protect you from acquiring an infection or passing an infection to another person. Other infection control practices, such as hand-washing, using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, isolation of patients, and using correctly covering cough and sneezes, are also necessary steps to minimize your risk of infection. Additionally, please be aware of the proper removal and disposal procedures. Even if PPE successfully protects you while it is worn, improper removal and disposal of contaminated PPEs can expose the wearer and other people to infection.

In general, most PPE is designed to be used only one time and by one person before disposal. There are a few exceptions; for example, some types of elastomeric respirator masks and protective eyewear such as goggles may be reused if the user follows decontamination methods in the product labeling. If PPE is exposed to infectious materials during use (e.g., body fluids from an infected person), the PPE is considered contaminated, and the wearer should remove it promptly, using proper removal and disposal procedures. Please be aware that even if a PPE successfully protects you while it is being worn, improper removal and disposal of contaminated PPEs can expose the wearer and other people to infectious agents.
