Calumeo: An award winning, point-of-care solution for N95 mask reuse
The N95 shortage issue
N95 respirators are specialized, single-use face masks that form a complete seal to the users face and filter out airborne viruses. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a critical shortage of N95 masks and the US dept of health and human services estimates that 3.5 billion N95s will be needed in this year alone.
However, 3M, the largest domestic manufacturer of masks, aims to produce only 400 million this year and, in aggregate, only 1% of the needed N95 supply is currently available for use in the US. This has led to a new industry in disinfecting N95s masks for reuse.

Problem with current solutions
Most existing solutions use vaporous hydrogen peroxide for disinfection.
Drawbacks of this technology include:
-
long process times (>8 hrs)
-
off-site processing (requiring significant infrastructure to collect and re-distribute masks)
-
mask not returned to original user
-
persistent noxious odor
-
skin irritation
