First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Skin contact

In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Eye contact

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.

Immediate Medical Attention

Treat symptomatically. See patient package insert in shipping carton for complete information.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically. See patient package insert in shipping carton for complete information.

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding materials.

Specific hazards

No information available.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Follow all fire fighting procedures (Section 5).

Small spill

Small volumes of liquid anesthetic agents may evaporate readily at normal room temperatures, and may dissipate before any clean up attempts are initiated.

Large spill

Ensure adequate ventilation or evacuate area. Large volumes of anesthetic agents may cause sedative effects.

Environmental

Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.

Cleanup methods

Large spills should be absorbed using a sorbent that is designed for clean up of organic chemicals. Restrict persons not wearing protective equipment from areas of spills or leaks until clean up is complete.

Materials: Spill pillows, vermiculite, and carbon-based sorbents

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Storage

Store between 15-30°C (59 to 86°F).

Hygiene

Wash thoroughly after handling.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Well designed and maintained scavenging system on the anesthesia equipment (combined with a good general room ventilation) is important in limiting the exposures of all personnel.

Hands

Use chemical resistant, impervious gloves.

Eyes

Normal final product use: wear safety glasses during the vaporizer filling process. Use in manufacturing or laboratory setting: safety glasses with face shield, chemical splash goggles, or other full face protection should be available for use if potential exists for splashes.

Respiratory

Personal respiratory protection equipment not typically required if engineering controls are in place. If exposure levels may exceed regulatory limits, implement a respiratory protection program including respiratory protection that is in compliance with OSHA 29 CFR1910.134 (in the US) or equivalent regulation in other regions.

Skin/Body

Work uniform or laboratory coat. Additional body garments should be used based upon the task being performed (e.g., sleevelets, apron, gauntlets, disposable suits).
