What do I do in the event of a mercury spill?

Although unlikely to occur with an ADC DIAGNOSTIX mercury sphyg, it can happen. ADC mercury sphygs hold just 2 oz of 99.9999% pure elemental mercury and can easily be contained with a mercury spill kit available through ADC or most laboratory and safety supply dealers. A mercury spill kit should be kept on the premises WHEREVER mercury instruments are used. Never use vacuums which may disperse mercury vapor. Always wear gloves and dispose of contained mercury in accordance with local regulations.
