3 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Human Serum (or its components) used in the manufacture of components was found non-reactive for HIV-1 antibody, non-reactive for HbsAg, and non-
reactive for HCV when tested with licensed reagents. However, no known test method can offer absolute assurance that products derived from human
serum will not be infectious. Handle as if capable of transmitting disease.
Iodine125 is a radioactive tracer element. 60.2 day radioactive half-life. Emits gamma rays..
Sodium Azide is a toxic substance. Avoid contact with components, which contain sodium azide, and do not ingest. An accumulation of sodium azide
may result in a reaction with lead or copper plumbing to form an explosive metal azide complex. If drain disposed, dilute and flush with a copious amount
of running water to prevent azide build-up. Dangerous when in contact with acid.
4 FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: Flush with copious amounts of fresh water for at least 15 minutes.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash well with mild soap and copious amounts of fresh water. Remove any contaminated clothing. Flush skin surface with
additional water.
INGESTION: Flush mouth with copious amounts of water. Do not swallow rinse water.
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. If breathing is labored, administer oxygen as needed. If victim is not breathing, administer artificial
respiration or CPR.
Radiological Incident: Survey with appropriate radiation detection equipment. Repeat as necessary.
If warranted, seek medical attention. If possible, save sample of material that caused reaction for use in determination of appropriate
treatment.
5 FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEASURES
Use extinguishing media appropriate to surrounding fire. No special equipment or procedures are required.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Absorb spills of reagents and patient samples with absorbent paper, taking care not to spread the material. Clean spill area with a freshly made 0.5%
sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution. Discard all materials used to absorb spill and disinfect area into biohazard waste collection for proper disposal.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Do not eat, drink, smoke or apply cosmetics in laboratory areas. Do not pipet patient samples or reagents by mouth. Avoid splashing or
aerosol formation. Use all reagents in accordance with the relevant package insert. Avoid high temperatures and keep from freezing during transport.
STORAGE: Store all reagents as directed in the relevant package insert.
