SAFETY
MUST BE THE FIRST AND CONSTANT CONSIDERATION OF EVERY PERSON WHO HANDLES
CAPTURE EQUIPMENT AND DRUGS!
It is your legal
obligation to handle, load, unload, use, carry, transport, maintain,
display and store your Telinject equipment in such a manner as to prevent
an accident from being caused.
Instructional literature
is included* with all Telinject equipment. Before you attempt to use
the equipment in any way, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY. Only
after reading the Instructions thoroughly should you handle the equipment.
With the Manual
at hand, practice the various steps relating to operation of your Telinject
System. Practice these operational steps repeatedly until you can go
through them with absolute confidence. During the practice session,
DO NOT USE loaded syringes. Simulate the loading and unloading phases
of the syringes, blowpipe, rifle or pistol, using sterile water.
If you have any
doubts about your ability to safely handle or use a particular piece
of Telinject Equipment you should seek supervised instruction.
Such personalized
instruction is often available from Telinject U.S.A., Inc. in person
and always by telephone.
The person with
capture equipment in his possession has a full-time job. He can not
guess, he can not forget.
HE
MUST KNOW:
- How
it works.
- The
instructions and warnings in the manual.
- Whether
it's loaded.
- Where
it's pointing.
- Where
his target is.
- What
his target is.
- Where
the syringe will go.
- Where
the syringe will stop.
Great care should
be exercised not to contaminate the outside of the Telinject syringe
or the mouthpiece of the blowpipe, with pharmaceutical, biological or
any other agent which may be harmful if it enters the mouth and is absorbed
from the mucous membranes of the lips, mouth and eyes, or is harmful
if swallowed or inhaled.
SAFETY
CAPS SHOULD ALWAYS BE APPLIED TO THE SYRINGE AS DIRECTED PRIOR TO CHARGING
THE SYRINGE. Careful observation should be made to determine
that no human or unintended animal target is present or in the vicinity
of the operator and the intended target. Telinject equipment has been
developed for professional use only. Pharmaceuticals, biological or
other agents used in the Telinject syringe should be used by or under
the direct supervision of a duly licensed, qualified veterinarian.
