The quantity of substandard masks that were inadvertently delivered in a batch of CPA masks corresponding to FFP-2 was still unclear on Thursday. In any case, it is certain that not the entire batch of ten million CPA masks is affected, but only those with the different production batch number SC20200045.
With these, the passage is larger than the CPA standard allows. It is currently being checked how many skins are actually affected. The examination is carried out in close coordination with the federal states. The masks were commissioned in the summer by the Red Cross on behalf of the Ministry of Economy and assigned to the federal states by the Ministry of Health.
The deficiency was known after a nursing home in Carinthia complained about a mask and a new test found that the passage of protective products with lot number SC20200045 was greater than allowed. These masks are now being exchanged; According to the ministry, three million FFP2 masks are initially available in case of bottlenecks; After the test result, all federal states were informed, including the recommendation that the masks in question should only be used as mouth and nasal protection.
