Can fell bitterness1. The subject wears a mask and his/her tongue sticks out properly. The suitability test reagent is used to spray directly to the subject from the top, bottom, left side and right side twice respectively, and the subject can stop the spray as soon as he/she smells bitterness. 2. If the subject feels bitterness, stick the adhesive strip on the upper edge of the subject's mask and perform the direct spray test again. Record whether the subject feels bitterness, if not, ask the subject to put on the hood, carry out the fitness test again and record it. If there is a feeling, ask the subject to change to a medical surgical mask and put an adhesive strip on the upper edge of the mask, then conduct the direct spray test again, and record the test results.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. can or can't fell bitterness

    Whenever the subject feels bitter, it means that the mask does not fit well with the subject's face.

    If the subjects do not feel bitter all the time, it means that the mask is suitable for the subjects' face and can be worn.

    Measured: Immediately after spray test
