Chemo spill kit technical specs focus on comprehensive containment, PPE (like ASTM D6978-rated nitrile gloves, gowns, booties, face shields, masks), absorbents (granules, pads), decontamination agents (e.g., Cytali), tools (scoop, scraper), and proper waste disposal (biohazard bags, ties, signs) to meet USP 800 & safety standards, ensuring minimal exposure during cytotoxic drug cleanup, with key specs including material compatibility and absorbency capacity (e.g., 2.5L per kit).
To use a chemo spill kit, first don PPE (gloves, gown, mask, shoe covers), then contain and absorb the spill with pads or powder, sweep solids with a scoop, clean the area with detergent wipes in a specific pattern (outer to inner), dispose of all materials in designated cytotoxic bags, remove PPE carefully (outer gloves last), seal bags, and report the incident, following your facility's protocol. Always follow your institution's specific procedure and contact your oncology team for guidance.
