NOTES ON DOL PHONE CALL WITH TSI
On April 6, 2015, Department of Labor personnel discussed some technical details of TSI's proposed abbreviated quantitative fit testing protocol for their newer PortaCount devices.   Greg Olson and Troy Tillman of TSI indicated that, based on their information, there were over 12,000 of the newer Model 8030 and 8038 devices currently in use, most of them being serviced on a regular basis by TSI.    
The TSI representatives quoted a purchase price of $8700 for the 8030 Model and $12,000 for the 8038 Model. 
The TSI representatives believed the additional information required for employees to understand the new protocol was sufficiently limited that it could be readily incorporated into existing required annual respirator training.
