| Issue: | As part of our continued market and product monitoring we have become aware of isolated cases in which the unwanted release of evaporating agent was observed by users at the end of the filling procedure. The release may lead to spraying of aerosol into face and eyes of the operator. Eye contact with volatile anaesthetics can result in serious irritation; immediate flushing of eyes and consultation of a physician is recommended. Recently updated Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of Desflurane manufacturers recommend the wearing of safety glasses when handling these substances. |
