What is TSI Portacount?
The PortaCount® Respirator Fit Tester is a quantitative respirator fit tester. It features intelligent touchscreen solutions that support respiratory protection programs from training through compliance. *Tablet and laptop are not included with the instrument. Tablet is included with the 8040T and 8048T bundles.
What does Portacount mean?
What is a Portacount? The TSI Portacount is an ambient particle counting device which is used to conduct Fit Testing by providing a quantitative assessment of faceseal leakage.

What is N95 companion?
N95-Companion™ Technology TSI’s N95-Companion uses an electro-mechanical method to challenge a mask with particles only in the range that will challenge the face seal and not the filter. For most filters, the Most Penetrating Particle Size (MPPS) is in the 200 to 400 nanometer (nm) range.
What is a Portacount test?
The Portacount provides a direct assessment of respirator fit by comparing the concentration of ambient dust particles outside the facepiece to the concentration of particles that have leaked into the facepiece.
What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative fit testing?
The main difference between quantitative mask fit testing and qualitative mask fit testing is that quantitative testing objectively measures the amount of leakage (quantity) while qualitative testing relies subjectively on the users taste and smell to detect leakage.
How does quantitative fit testing work?
Quantitative fit testing uses a machine to measure the actual amount of leakage into the facepiece and does not rely upon your sense of taste, smell, or irritation in order to detect leakage.
When performing a positive pressure test what indicates proper respirator fit?
During a positive pressure user seal check, the respirator user exhales gently while blocking the paths for air to exit the facepiece. A successful check is when the facepiece is slightly pressurized before increased pressure causes outward leakage.
