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

Get medical attention if irritation develops (eye/skin). Get medical attention (inhalation). Call a physician immediately if large quantities are swallowed.

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.

Firefighter Protection

Fire fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

For large spills, one or more bottles break, ensure adequate ventilation or evacuate area.

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

For large spills, one or more bottles break, ensure adequate ventilation or evacuate area. Large spills should be absorbed using a sorbent that is designed for clean up of organic chemicals.

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.

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