#Razer zephyr vs zephyr pro update

Update 01/11/22 7:45AM ET: This story was modified after publishing to include a quote from Razer about its contact with external agencies and decision making leading to the changes on its website. Lets see whats in the box and how this crazy mask pairs up and works. Now, Razer intends to upsell this feature to you, by way of the Zephyr Pro. The new coronavirus strain has sent COVID-19 cases soaring throughout much of the world, putting further strain on hospital systems that are already on the edge of burnout. The timing of the reversal comes as public health officials in the US and other countries have called on the public to wear surgical, N95 and KN95 masks, as opposed to a simple cloth mask, to better protect itself from the highly contagious omicron variant. Designed to be safe, social and sustainable. 'The change in product descriptions is to ensure there is no confusion with our customers about the certification of the mask as a whole.' The long anticipated Project Hazel is now officially Razer Zephyr the latest evolution of our wearable air purifier. 'Razer has not received any communication from any external agencies on the matter,' the company said.

Neither the Zephyr nor the Zephyr Pro is listed on the agency’s website as a NIOSH-approved respirator.Īccording to Wu, Razer made the change following pressure from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and NIOSH, a claim the company strongly disputes. It’s a designation that involves an entire mask, not just part of it, and accounts for both fit and filtration. As Wu points out in the video, “N95” is an official certification granted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for respirators that filter out at least 95 percent of airborne particles. In its fine print, Razer acknowledges that the Razer Zephyr and Zephyr Pro 'are not medical devices, respirators, surgical masks, or personal protective equipment (PPE) and are not meant to be used.
