absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or
vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as saw dust.
Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing
foam may be used to reduce vapors. Water spray may reduce
vapor but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. Stop leak

 Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. If
breathing is difficult, qualified personnel may give oxygen. If
symptoms persist, obtain medical attention.
FOR MINOR SPILLS
 Wipe with sponge or mp down area with an equal mixture of
household ammonia and water. Flush with large quantities of
water down drain.

 Wear suitable protective equipment, including nitrile or butyl

rubber gloves (Micro Touch Latex Gloves are acceptable if
double-gloved and/or changed every 5 to 10 minutes), fluid
resistant gown or apron, safety glasses or face shield, and
Osha/Niosh approved reusable or disposable full face respirator
equipped with organic vapor cartridge mask.

FOR MAJOR SPILLS

 Disperse approx 228 gms of sodim bisulfite powder per gallon
of estimated CIDEX solution spill. With a mop thoroughly blend
the sodium bisulfite into the spilled CIDEX solution. Allow 5
minutes for complete deactivation of glutaraldehyde.
 Flush deactivated spill down the drain with large amounts of
water. For large spills, the addition of an absorbent may aid in
containment of the spill.
 Dispose of the absorbent / deactivated glutaraldehyde
according to your facility’s waste disposal guidelines.
 Thoroughly rinse the mop and any sponges or paper towels
used for final clean up with large amounts of water. Discard paper
towels or sponges in a tightly closed trash bag.

Inhalation:
 Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air
immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. DO NOT use
mouth-to-mouth respiration. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical
device such as a bag and a mask.
Spills/Leaks:
 Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in
the protective Equipment section. Use water spray to disperse the
gas/vapor. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an
absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or
vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as saw dust.
