Warnings
14. Respirator Fit Testing should be performed in strict compliance
with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.139.
15. For OSHA qualitative irritant smoke respirator fit testing, only
use the Nextteq-specified pump(s) at the flow rates specified in
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.139. For all
other uses of irritant smoke tubes, only use the manufacturer-
specified pump at the manufacturer-specified flow rate. If the
pump is operated at non-specified flow rates, smoke or fume
concentrations may increase to dangerous levels, resulting in
property damage, serious injury, or death.
16. Only use the pumps specified by the manufacturer. Only
operate the pumps in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s
specifications and instructions. If a non-specified pump is used
or if the pump is operated not in accordance with the man-
ufacturer’s specifications and instructions, smoke or fume
concentrations may increase to dangerous levels, resulting
in property damage, serious injury, or death.
17. Do not operate this product closer to test subjects or test
administrator than specified by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, OSHA
29 CFR 1910.139, and the manufacturer. Operating at non-
specified distances could increase smoke or fume
concentrations to dangerous levels, resulting in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
18. The smoke tube contains stannic chloride that combines with
humidity to liberate a white smoke consisting of hydrogen
chloride and tin compounds.
