Source: U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Published: 6/16/2020. The Department of Homeland Security has identified programmable multicookers with a sous vide function, or equivalent setting, as a suitable means to treat filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) with moist heat at home. Moist heat decontamination is achieved by treating masks with 149°F steam for 30 minutes. This web page provides a video and documents about how to use this process. (Video or Multimedia)
