First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
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.

Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding materials.
No information available.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Follow all fire fighting procedures (Section 5).
Small volumes of liquid anesthetic agents may evaporate readily at normal room temperatures, and may dissipate before any clean up attempts are initiated.
Ensure adequate ventilation or evacuate area. Large volumes of anesthetic agents may cause sedative effects.
Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.
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
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Store between 15-30°C (59 to 86°F).
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
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.
Use chemical resistant, impervious gloves.
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.
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.
Work uniform or laboratory coat. Additional body garments should be used based upon the task being performed (e.g., sleevelets, apron, gauntlets, disposable suits).
