Cassette Handling
•
STERRAD CASSETTES CONTAIN CONCENTRATED
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, A STRONG OXIDIZER.
CONCENTRATED HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS CORROSIVE TO
SKIN, EYES, NOSE, THROAT, LUNGS, AND
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. Direct contact with the skin can
cause severe irritation. If skin contact occurs, immediately flush with
large amounts of water. If symptoms are severe or persist, consult a
physician immediately. Direct contact with eyes can cause
irreversible tissue damage. If eye contact occurs, immediately flush
with large amounts of water and immediately consult a physician.
Inhalation of mist can cause severe irritation of lungs, throat, and
nose. If inhalation occurs, move to fresh air and consult a physician
immediately. Ingestion can produce corrosion that may be life
threatening. If swallowed, drink plenty of water immediately to
dilute. Do not induce vomiting. Consult a physician.
•
Do not remove the plastic wrapper from the cassette package if the
indicator strip is red. Red indicates that the cassette might have been
damaged.
•
Do not remove used cassettes from the protective cardboard sleeve.
Dispose of the cassette inside the protective sleeve in normal waste
or follow the facility’s procedures. Empty or expired cassettes must
be replaced prior to starting the cycle.
•
If it is necessary to handle a used cassette that is not in the cardboard
sleeve, wear latex or vinyl gloves. Do not touch your gloved hands to
your face or eyes.
