Professional performance of the 3M TR‑6710N HEPA filter

3M manufacturer’s code: RVTR6710N-5

HEPA filter for respiratory protection from solid particles. Compatible with 3M TR-600 Versaflo powered air purifying respirator (PAPR). It is certified HEPA which means it captures at least 99.97 % of the particles in the air. Sold by unit.

Designed to deliver superior respiratory protection, this HEPA filter is manufactured by 3M and carries the reference TR‑6710N. It works by efficiently capturing solid airborne particles using high‑efficiency filtration technology, essential in pharmaceutical environments, food processing facilities, or sensitive production areas. Its direct compatibility with 3M Versaflo TR‑600 powered air‑purifying respirators ensures easy installation and stable performance. 

TR-600 HEPA filters don’t require the use of a filter cover like their prior model. Even without the filter cover, this model of filter is NIOSH approved. It is however recommended to use the cover filter RVTR6700FC to help protect the filter from physical damage and liquid spill. The RVTR6700FC filter cover is also used to hold the RVTR6600 prefilter or RVTR662 spark arrestor in place in order to extend the service life of the HEPA filter.

By choosing this 3M HEPA filter, you are investing in a reliable, durable respiratory protection solution that meets Canadian professional standards.

Product features: high‑efficiency 3M Versaflo TR‑600 HEPA filter

This HEPA filter stands out for its exceptional ability to retain solid particles, meeting the needs of controlled environments. It is exclusively compatible with 3M Versaflo TR‑600 powered air‑purifying respirators, ensuring a perfect seal and consistent performance. Manufactured for high‑demand sectors, it meets the strict quality standards required in pharmaceutical and industrial environments in Canada.

This type of respiratory protection system is recommended for work that will loosen solid particles in the air such as work in health facilities, food factories and pharmaceutical laboratories. The HEPA filters which comes with the kit protect one from most airborne particles with an 99,97% efficiency.

Biological particles:

This type of filters helps prevent the inhalation of certain airborne biological particles like mold, Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Tubercle bacillus Koch) the main causative agent of tuberculosis, pandemic flues (H5N1, H1N1), etc. However, it cannot eliminate the risk of contracting infection, illness or disease. Due to the nature of some contaminants, the exposure limit value of some products and byproducts haven’t been quantified by governmental agencies, thus wearing a respirator doesn’t necessarily protects you.

Do not use for: 

This model of filter does not offer a protection against vapours and gases. It is strongly discouraged to wear any kind of respirator for application with sandblasting. It is also highly advised to follow the manufacturer’s recommendation towards the product’s limits. HEPA filters may offer a protection from 25 times or 1000 times the permissible exposure limit according to the chosen facepiece. One should never use a respirator in an oxygen deprived environment (an atmosphere with less than 19,5 % oxygen).

Product maintenance: extending the lifespan of the HEPA filter

Since this is a disposable product, there is no maintenance. In theory, one should use the RVTR971 airflow indicator to assess the state of the equipment. However, the motor/blower is equipped with a system that alerts you in case the filter is soon to be saturated; one must thus change the cartridge. The filter’s service life depends of its conditions of use; it is thus difficult to estimate how long it will last. One sure thing is that the more the work environment is contaminated, the faster the filter will get saturated. Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
