Phantom Content Solutions and Spill Procedure

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) were developed to comply with OSHA. Because of the low concentrations of solutions in MR phantoms, they are nonregulated by both DOT and RCRA (Resource Conservation & Recovery Act), with the exception of phantoms that contain phosphoric acid. This document is limited to phantoms shipped in support of MR Signa systems.

An envelope marked "Shipping Docs Enclosed," containing a specific MSDS document, is sent with each phantom shipped to a customer. While some customers may keep these on file, it is apparent, by the number of requests for MSDSs received at headquarters that many do not. This creates confusion when a phantom spill occurs on-site, requiring immediate action. An MSDS covers the chemical contents by product description, hazards identification, toxic information, first aid measures, and handling instructions. This document does not cite a specific spill clean up procedure. Nor does the disposition of faulty, leaking phantoms. In the event of a chemical spill, notify the building security. They will alert the spill team.

Ensure that the customer has a record of MSDS on file based on the phantom list identified later in this document. If these sheets are not available, GE employees can obtain the missing MSDS on line through GEMS Intranet at the following address: http:/powersuite2.corporate.ge.com/gems/ehs/msds/index.cfm. For further assistance if needed, GEMS employees should contact your field EHS person for your zone.
