Direct Check Controls (DCJACT-N, DCJLR-N, DCJPT-N, DCP214-N, DCPRO-N)
Eye Direct contact of contents of product with eyes may cause
irritation. Such contact is unlikely with intended use. Eye contact
with used product should be considered a potential biohazard
exposure.
Skin None expected. Skin contact is unlikely with intended use.
Contact with used product and non-intact skin should be
considered a potential biohazard exposure.
Ingestion Swallowing contents of product may cause gastrointestinal track
irritation and nausea. Ingestion of used product should be
considered a potential biohazard exposure. Ingestion is unlikely
with intended use.
Inhalation Inhalation of aerosol formed with contents of product may result in
respiratory tract irritation. However, inhalation is unlikely with
intended use. Inhalation of used product should be considered a
potential biohazard exposure.
Chronic None expected with intended use. Repeated and prolonged
Effects exposures via skin contact, ingestion, and/or inhalation may result
in mercury uptake as the product contains a small amount
(<0.002%) of Thimerosal, an organic mercury compound.
Exposure to mercury can result in central nervous system damage,
kidney damage, and mutagenic effects. Such exposures are
unlikely with the intended use of this product.
Neither the product nor its components are listed by IARC, NTP,
or OSHA as carcinogens or potential carcinogens.
Signs And Irritation to the eyes, mucous membrane and/or respiratory system.
Symptoms
Aggravation None Expected. As with any respiratory irritant, persons with
Of Pre- impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the
Existing effects of the product.
Conditions
As of the date of preparation of this document, the foregoing information is believed to be accurate and is provided in good faith to comply with applicable laws and regulations. It is intended to describe the product from a user
safety viewpoint. However, no warranty or representation with respect to such information is intended or given. ITC reserves the right to update this document based on new information without prior notice

Potential Environmental Effects
Although not expected with the intended shipping and use of the product, releases into
the environment of large quantities of the contents of the product may result in organic
mercury contamination of the resources impacted by the release (water, soil).
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Immediately flush eye(s) with water for at least fifteen minutes
occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Should irritation of
the eye(s) persist, seek medical attention. Eye contact with used
product should be considered a biohazard exposure incident.
Skin In case of skin contact with contents of the product, wash the area
with plenty of soap and water for at least fifteen minutes. Remove
clothing and shoes if in contact with contents of the product and
wash clothing and shoes before reuse. Non-intact skin contact
with used product should be considered a biohazard exposure
incident.
Inhalation Remove exposed person to fresh air (away from aerosolized
product). If exposed person is not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If inhalation has resulted in labored breathing,
respiratory tract irritation or other symptoms, seek medical
attention. Inhalation of used product should be considered a
biohazard exposure incident.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Wash mouth out with water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Ingestion of used
product should be considered a biohazard exposure incident.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
For releases involving the contents of a small number of product containers, clean-up
with slightly moist absorbent pad, paper towel, or equivalent. Wear nitrile or neoprene
gloves during clean-up. Lightweight gloves are sufficient. Goggles should be worn
when the potential for forming aerosol exists. Do not allow the material to enter a floor
drain, sink, sewer, or storm drain. Place waste in an approved chemical waste container.
For releases involving larger quantities of the contents of the product containers, for
example a damaged pallet of product, use slightly moistened absorbent pads or rags to
clean-up released material. Wear heavy nitrile or neoprene gloves and goggles during
clean-up. Where foot or other body contact with product may occur, wear boots and an
apron or coverall made of nitrile or neoprene. Do not allow the material to enter a floor
drain, sink, sewer, or storm drain. Place waste in an approved chemical waste container.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
During use and with used product, the product should be handled as a potential
biohazard. Due to this, users should wear gloves during use. Where product may be
aerosolized, goggles should be used. Always wash hands thoroughly after use and before
consuming food or beverage, using tobacco products, applying cosmetics, or otherwise
engaging in hand to mouth activities. Used product should be handled as a potential
biohazard.
