Ultra-TechneKow DTE

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW CAUTION! RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL. Read Package Insert prior to use. Promptly remove any contamination from the skin, eyes, or clothing. Radioactive drugs must be handled by qualified personnel in conformity with regulations appropriate to the government agency authorized to license the use of this radionuclide. The Technetium Tc-99m Generator should be kept within its container or within heavier shielding. Avoid contact with the radioactive contents which would cause unnecessary exposure to radiation.

Potential health effects

Inhalation: Skin Contact: Sodium Molybdate Mo-99 and Sodium Pertechnetate Not expected to produce any acute adverse health effects. Tc-99m do not easily become airborne. Not expected to be a health hazard via inhalation. Eye Contact: No adverse effect expected, but may cause mechanical Ingestion: irritation. May cause asymptomatic physiological uptake by specific target organs or tissues. Ultra-TechneKow ® DTE (Technetium Tc 99m Generator) Chronic Exposure: Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: The health risks associated with chronic radiation No information found. exposure (cancer, leukemia, genetic and teratogenic effects) are believed to involve levels of radiation exposure which are much higher than those permitted occupationally.
