Enhanced Breathing Protection than N95 Grade Paper Masks

by admin | Sep 13, 2023 | Uncategorized

Problems with disposable masks

The sealing is not tight. Even if the sealing seems to be OK, it is not reliable enough in actual application.

Disposable N95 masks are limited by the actual flow area of the face, and the filter material filtration grade cannot be too high; otherwise it will increase breathing resistance and affect normal use.
Moisture in exhaled breath reduces filtration efficiency and increases respiratory resistance.

How does AYO HC achieve a superior sealing fit?

The mask is made of soft silicone material and is specially designed for 3 head sizes in 3 mask sizes: large, medium and small, which can fit 99.7% of human face contours. This greatly improves the sealing and tightness compared to disposable masks.
The design of the mask cushion is also unique, with a sufficient elastic range, and is made very thin, which further enhances the sealing fit between the mask and the face.
The overall fit factor exceeds 2000, which is 20 times higher than the N95 level.

How does AYO HC achieve higher filtration efficiency?

Using a higher level of filter material than N95 as the main filter element, the filtration efficiency for particles 0.3um and above is >99.9%, compared to the N95 standard of 94%, achieving a protective effect 50 times higher than the N95 level.
At the same time, the filter element adopts pleated filter material, which greatly increases the actual effective flow area. Although the filter material level is improved, the airflow resistance can still be controlled within an acceptable range, and the peripheral size of the filter element can still be kept small.

How does AYO HC prevent moisture from reducing filtration efficiency?

The built-in air inlet valve of the silicone mask prevents moisture in each exhalation from entering the main filter element, thereby preventing the reduction of filtration efficiency and increasing in breathing resistance caused by moisture, thus extending the life of the filter.

How Your Control Pause or Minute Ventilation Relate to Your Health State

The Importance of CO2 in the Body

We all know that when we breathe, we breathe in O2, and breathe out CO2. So common perception of CO2 is that it is a waste gas and must be removed from the body.

However, the truth is that CO2 plays a critical role in our life, and when its level is too low in the lungs, blood, and tissue cells, our body simply can not function properly. Here is a summary of some of the key effects due to low CO2 in the body:

It shifts pH value in the blood and tissue cells, altering the normal metabolic processes.
It causes spasms and tension in the smooth muscles of the bronchi, cerebral and circulatory vessels, and other organs, causing asthma, high blood pressure, heart diseases, and other chronic diseases.
It limits oxygen in the blood from releasing to reach the brain, heart and other vital organs and tissues, causing them chronic oxygen starvation thus affecting their normal functions.
It affects stable transmission of electrical signals between never cells while exciting them constantly, affecting logic, sense, reason, wisdom, mood, memory, concentration, etc., causing mental and sleep disorders.

Therefore, the CO2 level in the body can be normally used to indicate how healthy the body is.

The Relationship between Control Pause and CO2 level in the Body

In the 1960s, Dr. Buteyko, the physician who created the science-based Buteyko Breathing, discovered and established the relationship between CO2 level in alveoli and the Control Pause (CP) – a specially defined breath-hold measurement by Dr. Buteyko himself. Such a relationship was later defined as a patented formula as below:
aCO2% = 3.5% + 0.05 * CP, where aCO2% is the CO2 concentration in the alveolar, CP is the Control Pause in seconds.
For example, for a physiological norm of aCO2 of 40 mmHg, at sea level of 760 mmHg atmospheric pressure, the corresponding aCO2% is 40/760 = 5.26%.

Applying to the above formula we get CP = 35.2 seconds.

Because CP can be measured with a watch, and provided the measurement is done closely following the defined steps and method, it can be done by everyone easily.

This is why it is one of the most important parameters in Buteyko Breathing to test how well your health state is.

The Link Between the CP and Various Health States

Based on the research from the world-renowned health educator Dr. Artour Rakhimov on Buteyko Breathing, the following table summaries the link between CP to various health states:

Note:

The unit for CP is in seconds.
The correct conditions and steps to measure CP are critical to be representative.
Morning CP measured on the bed after wake-up is the most reliable condition to measure.

The Link Between Minute Ventilation and Various Health States

Since CO2 level in the body is directly influenced by breathing volume, thus Minute Ventilation (MV), the metric for breathing volume is linked with CO2 level in the body.

Based on Dr. Artour’s research about Buteyko Breathing, we can derive the link following the table below:
For Adult with 70 Kg weight

Note:

The unit of the MV is in Liters.
The correct breathing conditions and steps are critical to obtain a meaningful MV.
The breathing needs to be fully relaxed and be observed during the session with near zero air hunger.
A recommended way is to use the AYO BT+ App ‘Breathing in Meditation’ featured exercise.
For other weights other than 70 Kg, the values shown in the above table can be proportionally calculated.

Final Words

Contrary to common heath state monitoring, such as blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar, blood cholesterol, where each only provides an isolated parameter of the body consisting of a vastly interlinked number of vital factors, the CP or MV provides an accurate overall picture of our health state in a holistic and efficient way. They had been scientifically and clinically proven since Dr. Buteyko and his colleague’s initial discovery and work back in the 1960s, which have benefited hundreds of thousands of patients since. However, they remain the largely unknown health metrics to most people, and the world should now wake up to appreciate and adopt them for the sake of our ultimate health.
