3M 7000052883 E-a-rsoft Fx Probed Test Plugs

Product Description

The 3M 7000052883 is a set of probed test earplugs designed exclusively for use with the 3M E-A-Rfit Validation System during earplug fit testing. Each plug is modified with an integrated probe tube that allows the E-A-Rfit system to measure the attenuation level achieved by a given earplug in a given wearer. These are not hearing protection devices and must not be used as such. Audiometric technicians, industrial hygienists, and occupational health professionals use these test plugs as part of a structured hearing conservation program to validate proper earplug fit on individual workers.

These probed test plugs are intended for use in occupational hearing conservation settings where fit testing is required or recommended. They are paired with the 3M E-A-Rfit Validation System to generate a Personal Attenuation Rating for each worker being tested. Typical environments include manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and any workplace where high noise levels require documented hearing protection compliance. A trained technician administers the test and records results for each employee file.

Key Features

• Integrated probe tube enables real-ear attenuation measurement with the 3M E-A-Rfit Validation System
• Based on the E-A-RSoft FX earplug form factor for consistent, repeatable test insertions
• For fit testing use only — not rated or approved for hearing protection
• Supports documented hearing conservation compliance programs
• Sold as a case with a minimum order quantity of one case

Compatibility

Designed for exclusive use with the 3M E-A-Rfit Validation System. These probed test plugs are not interchangeable with standard earplugs and are not compatible with other fit-testing platforms.

Installation Notes

Fit testing with these plugs must be administered by a qualified technician following the E-A-Rfit system operating procedures. No power tools are required; however, the E-A-Rfit Validation System hardware must be properly set up and calibrated before testing begins. These plugs are single-use items — do not reuse a probed test plug after it has been removed from a test subject. Dispose of used plugs in accordance with facility waste handling procedures.
