Xpert Norovirus

Move victim to fresh air. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing.

For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin with running water for at least 20 minutes. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing.

In case of contact with substance, immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious) Do NOT induce vomiting. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested the substance. Obtain medical attention immediately if ingested.

LARGE FIRES: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray. SMALL FIRES: Dry chemical, CO2 or water spray.

Burning plastic cartridge containing reagents may liberate toxic byproducts.

SMALL FIRES: Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.

No emergency procedures are expected to be necessary if material is used under ordinary conditions as recommended. In the event a cartridge is broken: Do not walk through spilled material. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.

wear gloves and absorb spill with paper towel

Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

absorb spill with paper towel

Materials: paper towel

No special handling necessary. If cartridge is broken avoid contact with spilled reagents.

Keep container/package tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Wear chemical splash safety goggles.

Respiratory equipment is not expected to be necessary if material is used under ordinary conditions and as recommended. Otherwise, follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or symptoms are experienced.

Wear protective clothing

Follow best practice for site management and disposal of waste.

Stable

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Incompatible Materials
