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.
