This material should only be handled by trained individuals in conformance with the requirements of applicable regulations. Radioactive materials in the US are not subject to OSHA regulations. The US Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) is the Federal agency responsible protecting the health and safety of the public and the environment by licensing and regulating the civilian uses of the radioactive materials. 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.
