Storage and Disposal
IX. Storage and dISpoSal
1. A Gastec Irritant Smoke Tube may be used as many as 40
times depending upon environmental conditions and the skill of
the administrator.
2. Upon the completion of each Sensitivity Check, a fit testing, or
an airflow indication exercise, if the smoke tube has not been
consumed and when testing is complete, the administrator
shall, with the smoke tube tip pointed away from the admin-
istrator and others, slowly compress the pump bulb. When the
pump bulb is fully compressed, place a cap over the exposed
end of the smoke tube. Do not remove the aspiration bulb
pump. Store the partially consumed smoke tube with the cap
affixed to one end and the compressed aspirator bulb pump
affixed to the other end of the smoke tube.
3. When the smoke tube is consumed, or is being disposed of
prior to being consumed, gently remove the aspirator bulb
pump from the smoke tube, being careful not to compress the
bulb. Turn the bulb upside down over an appropriate waste
receptacle and gently shake the bulb to discard any residual
material from the irritant smoke tube. Neutralize and dispose
of any residual smoke tube material and the smoke tube in
accordance with federal, state, and local regulations and laws.
4. Store the Nextteq Irritant Smoke Tube Kit, the Gastec Irritant
Smoke Tubes, and the Nextteq Aspiration Bulb Pump in a safe,
secure, dry, cool space away from direct light and out of the
reach of children.
