Technelite® (Technetium Tc-99m Generator)

Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Obtain medical attention.

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention. Dispose of contaminated clothing according to company procedures and governmental regulations for radioactive waste or alternately hold contaminated clothing for radioactive decay 10 half-lives or 1 month.

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Obtain medical attention.

Obtain medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Dry chemical, Water spray, Foam

Do NOT use water jet.

Radioactive. Heating can release hazardous gases.

In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

If the generator container is damaged maintain a distance of 130 feet until radiation measurements can be made by a knowledgeable person. Contact the company Radiation Safety Officer. Care should be taken to minimize radiation exposure. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.

Prevent release to drains and waterways. Prevent release to the environment.

Contact the company Radiation Safety Officer. Dispose of cleanup materials as radioactive waste. Isolate waste in sealed, clearly labeled containers and dispose of according to company procedures and governmental regulations. Clean spill area with a deactivating solution (if available) followed by detergent and water after spill pickup.

Contact the company Radiation Safety Officer. Label as radioactive material. Store and handle in a designated area. Keep material in a lead container. Avoid direct handling by using remote manipulation tools. Use transfer pipets, spill trays and absorbent coverings to confine radioactive contamination. Obtain appropriate governmental licenses to possess and handle radioactive material. Highly potent material. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Handling time should be kept to a minimum. Appropriate radiation shielding should be used. Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Prevent release to drains and waterways.

Storage and disposal of product should be controlled in a manner compliant with applicable governmental regulations pertaining to radionuclides. Store and handle in a designated area. Store at room temperature. 20 - 25°C Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.

Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Handling time should be kept to a minimum.

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.

Use process enclosures, containment technology, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limit.

Impervious nitrile, rubber and latex gloves are recommended. Double gloving for all manufacturing personnel potentially in direct contact with the compound should be considered. Please note that employees who are allergic to natural rubber latex should use nitrile gloves.

Chemical safety goggles and face shields are recommended. Note: Choice of eye protection may be influenced by the type of respirator which is selected.

Use and selection of respiratory protection is based upon engineering controls in use and potential for aerosol generation. When engineering controls are not sufficient to control exposure to below the exposure limit, wear an approved supplied air respirator. Note: Exposure to radioactive materials may produce adverse effects.

Wear disposable coverall, polyethylene apron and sleeves, and shoe covers.

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Hazardous polymerization does not occur. HCl gas can form flammable or explosive mixtures with alcohols or metals.

Heat, flames and sparks
