Fig 1.
Schematic of the experimental setup used to measure the performance of the FFR.
The elements labeled in orange were used for the generation of NaCl submicron particles. These particles were then released into the test chamber, and filtration performance was calculated using the measuring devices labeled in purple.

Schematic representation of the experimental design used with volunteers.
The cycle used for large-scale implementation in the hospital is identified by the red dotted line.
