Safety:
Intended use of the equipment: Measure exposure to blast overpressure in range 0.5-110 psi, at resolution of 0.05
psi (Typical)
Disclaimer:
The Blast Gauge® System is not intended to diagnose or treat the blast victim’s injuries. The rst responder may
use the Blast Gauge® System data to characterize the blast overpressure and acceleration the subject sustained
during an explosion but must rely on standard diagnostic protocols to drive treatment of the subject’s injuries.
Precautions for Safe Handling:
The Blast Gauge® System has been designed and manufactured for use by qualied personnel for the purpose of
measuring exposures to blast overpressure.
Safety considerations are contained in the Blast Gauge® System Safety Data Sheet dated February 10, 2016 includ-
ed in the package
Storage:
Shelf life is greater than 5 years in cool (15 ºC - 25ºC), dry and ventilated areas, which are subject to little tem-
perature change. Do not place the article near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods.
Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life and degrade performance. Disposal:
This Product contains a lithium battery that is not rechargeable or replaceable. Normally the article has no odor.
Under normal conditions of use, the battery, its electrode materials and its hazardous liquid electrolyte are non-
reactive provided the battery integrity is maintained. The battery will release a pungent corrosive odor if leaking.
There are no federal regulations for disposal of lithium batteries. Individual states or localities establish their own
guidelines for battery disposal, and should be contacted for any disposal guidelines that they may have for a lithium
battery housed in the Blast Gauge®.
Disclaimer
The Blast Gauge®System is not intended to diagnose or treat the blast victim’s
injuries. The rst responder may use the Blast Gauge System data to
characterize the blast overpressure and acceleration the subject sustained
during an event, but will rely on standard diagnostic protocols to drive
treatment of the subject’s injuries.
