35. Do not distribute a Nextteq Irritant Smoke Tube Kit without a
complete set of Gastec and Nextteq instructions, warnings,
specifications, and MSDS. Distributing a Nextteq Irritant Smoke

specifications, and MSDS may result in misuse and lead to
property damage, serious injury, or death.
36. Do not expose the test subject too frequently to irritant smoke.
Do not re-expose the test subject to irritant smoke until the
test subject specifically and expressly confirms that all effects
from the prior exposure to irritant smoke have ceased.
37. A test subject’s sensitivity to irritant smoke varies based upon
size, weight, heredity, age, health, and other factors. Some test
subjects may respond to a greater degree than others to
irritant smoke. During the Sensitivity Check, the administrator
shall consider the test subject’s sensitivity and be careful to
generate a small, weak, dilute stream of smoke that is the
absolute minimum stream of irritant smoke necessary to elicit
a response from the test subject.
