Essential Purchase for the Pandemic Era

I purchased my Z-Link Respirator in August after RPB reached out to me directly. I had exhaustively searched for a PAPR from a competitor, but am so glad I went with RPB/X1 Safety.

The respirator is wonderful quality. It’s easy to set up, and easy to maintain. To be able to practice dentistry with a full field of vision again is outstanding. I feel completely safe in this setup, and am wearing it for every aerosol-generating procedure I perform.

The Z-Link helmet is very comfortable, and I’m impressed that the visor isn’t showing any scratches after two weeks of disinfection with Cavi-Wipes. 

I am eagerly awaiting the brand new doctor’s hoods with the open ears. It can be a little difficult to hear lower-pitched voices while wearing the Z-Link helmet. 

Kudos to RPB for making an effort to sell me on their great product, and a big Canadian high five to Daryl and the X1 Safety team for making the purchase easy!  I’ve been recommending the RPB products to every dentist I talk to!

Great Service. Great Product.

Customer service was AMAZING! Fast, friendly, above and beyond service. (I don’t know how they work at X1 Safety - but you should ask for “Daryl” - wonderful guy) The PX5 is great for dentistry. Quiet, comfortable, easy to maintain. Loops work well inside the helmet and communication is easy. I bought this for my wife after her office bought a “FORD” PAPR for the doctors to “try out”... sadly, no one at the office really wants to wear the FORD.

(The FORD is designed I think for sporadic / short project work - it is loud (80db) and heavy (10lbs mol). Which may / may not work for other industries.) IMO (and more importantly, my wife’s) the PX5 is FAR better suited for medical / dental. The FORD is slight cheaper - but for the price difference - you’ll be so much better off with the PX5. You might not think there could be all that much difference between one PAPR and another... but there really is a huge difference. If you are going to take PPE seriously - then you have to get something comfortable enough that people want to use it. The PX5 is what you want.

Awesome!

Super nice product, made of durable material. Comfortable and affordable! Customer service exceeeds expectations and the shipping was on par with Amazon,very fast! Much better than the headache of dealing with 3m products along with the price gouging that goes with 3m. In stock, quality,friendliness,knowlegable and a nice shade of green! Highly recommended.
