Radiation Decontamination Kit Instructions

Instructions

STEP 1: If possible, remove yourself to a non-contaminated area immediately before beginning decontamination. Use the buddy system, one person decontaminating another person if possible. Locate radioactive material with radiation detector (sold separately, not provided in basic kit) if available and remove any contaminated clothing.

STEP 2: Open kit and remove packet containing examination gloves (3 are provided). Carefully put on one pair of exam gloves and assemble sprayers to bottles. Open rad-wipe package and rad-waste package and arrange for ease of use. Minimize contamination of the kit and its contents if possible.

STEP 3: Decontaminate (as described below) your partner's hands first then have your partner put on a pair of exam gloves. Remove your exam gloves and have your partner decontaminate your hands. Put on a new pair of exam gloves provided and continue decontamination. Decontaminate small areas at a time and discard each rad-wipe after use. Do not reuse rad-wipes as this may spread the contamination. Handle the red plastic side and wipe using the white absorbent side.

Spray on a generous amount of BLUE BORDER LABELED Quick Decon™ Mass Effect™ solution (Transition Metals). Let stand for a few seconds but DO NOT LET DRY!
Aggressively wipe and dry thoroughly with the plastic-backed (red) rad-wipes provided. Be sure to wipe up ALL solution since any Quick Decon™ Mass Effect™ solution left on the surface may now contain radioactive material.
Dispose of rad-wipes as "rad-waste" in trash bag provided. Attach included "radiation material" caution tags to bag.
Repeat steps A-C with YELLOW BORDER LABELED Quick Decon™ Mass Effect™ solution (Actinide Metals). This will be necessary if the elemental type of radioactivity is unknown.
Use spare water bottle (previously filled by customer with simple tap water) to wash down affected areas. Use wipes to aggressively clean areas again and remove any residual Quick Decon™ Mass Effect™ solution. Dispose of rad-wipes as indicated above.
Repeat steps A-E if necessary. When finished, dispose of rubber gloves and all contaminated clothing and materials in trash bags provided.
Label trash bags as "Radioactive" using tags provided and put the rad-waste as far away from personal contact as possible. Call authorities for removal.
If possible, remove yourself and any treated surfaces to a non-radioactive area in order to limit possibility of recontamination.

Note: Do not use the Quick Decon™ Mass Effect™ solutions on open wounds and do not ingest solutions. See MSDS sheets for First Aid measures and other important product information.
