Safety Instructions
Safety instructions for the use of ReCIVA and the 1.0 Breath Biopsy
Collection Kit are provided in the ReCIVA Breath Sampler User
Manual (PN 90-0796). It is essential that these safety instructions
are read and understood before commencing any work with the 1.0
Breath Biopsy Collection Kit.
Always observe the following standard safety precautions:
Wear clean nitrile examination gloves when handling the
Breath Biopsy Cartridge Assembly as chemicals from your
hands can affect the results and may lead to cross
contamination.
Wash your hands with soap and water
–
do not use alcohol-
based gels
(e.g. Cutan foam) as these leave volatile
chemicals behind which may affect the breath collection.
Use a new 1.0 Collection Kit with each study subject.
Do not use the Breath Biopsy Cartridge Assembly if it is
dropped or damaged prior to the breath collection
commencing.
If you encounter any problems with the equipment or this
procedure, please contact Owlstone Medical Ltd immediately
using the contact details in this guide.
