Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Respirator Inventory for Research Labs

In repsonse to the COVID-19 pandemic, our frontline health care providers have requested additional personal protective equipment (PPE). We ask all Penn State labs to complete an inventory of all PPE supplies by March 23, 2020, to help us assess what supplies we have available. OSVPR will work with your units to track the items and ensure grants or contracts are properly reimbursed. Please track the exact cost of PPE items for future reimbursement.

There is an urgent need for powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs). If you have any available, please contact Ruth Weber at rim100@psu.edu immediately.

There is also a shortage of swabs and collection supplies for the testing for COVID-19. Please identify any viral transport media (VCM or UTM) or flocked swabs that you have available. These swabs are typically Copan brand, flocked nasopharyngeal, or oropharyngeal swabs.
