The following narrative is contained in the product package insert: "the probechek controls and all other fresh or fixed specimens should be handled as if capable of transmitting infectious agents. Dispose of with proper precautions. Because it is often impossible to know which might be infectious, all specimens are to be treated with universal precautions. Guidelines for specimen handling are available from the united states centers for disease control and prevention. Material safety data sheets (msds) on all materials supplied in the probechek controls are available from the abbott molecular technical service department. Avoid contact of probechek slides with skin and mucous membranes. "
