Detects liquid nerve and blister agents.

Sticks to clothing, vehicles and equipment.

Red is the only positive reading.

Contains a known carcinogen, use gloves when handling.

Detects nerve, blister and blood agents.

Detects both liquid and vapors. 12 detectors per kit.

Swing out the heater; remove and save two loose pads. Save pads under hinged heater. Swing heater back in place (Figure 5).

Remove the pull tab marked (1). Pull upward to expose the lewisite detecting tablet (Figure 6)

Bend the tab over the lewisiste detecting tablet.

Rub the upper half of the tab until a mark is visible (Figure 7).

Hold the sampler - detector with the test spots or arrows pointing up.

Using the heater pads, crush four ampoules in the three center pockets marked (3) (Figure 8).

Turn the sampler - detector upside down, and verify wetting of test spots.

Hold the sampler detector with the test spots or arrow pointing down.

Using the heater pads, squeeze the ampoules to force liquid through the formed channels (Figure 9).

Put your thumb on the protective strip over the middle of the test spot.

Swing the heater away from the test spot (Figure 10).

Activate the first heater ampoule marked #4.

Being sure to use the heater pads, crush one green ampoule, and swing the heater immediately over the test spot (Figure 11).

Hold the sampler detector to one side while venting to avoid vapor.

After 2 minutes swing the heater away from the test spot, and swing the protective strip away from test spots.

Expose test spots to air for 10 minutes (Figure 12).

After 10 minutes, activate the second heater ampoule marked (4). Being sure to use the heater pads, crush the second green ampoule. Swing the heater immediately over the test spot After 1 minute, swing the heater away from the test spot (Figure 13).

Hold the sampler detector with the test spots or arrows pointing down.

Using the heater pads, crush the remaining ampoules marked (5). Be sure to wet test spots by squeezing ampoules to force the liquid onto the test spots (Figure 14).

Re-rub the lewisite detecting tablet. Bend the tab over the lewisite detecting tablet.

Rub the bottom half of the tab until mark is visible (Figure 15).

Compare the colors to determine whether conditions are dangerous or safe.

Turn the sampler detector upside down, and compare the colors of the test spots with those shown on the sampler detector.

Look for a change in the color of the rubs on the lewisite detecting tab.

If your kit has a fourth instruction card, use it to compare the colors to determine whether conditions are dangerous or safe

Chemical contamination - decon within one minute. Use M-291 or M-258. Note: Processes are the same for both kits. When

using the M-258 use packets in sequence. Biological contamination - wash down with soap

and water.

Process consist of wiping down your mask, gloves and essential gear.

Do not attempt to remove contamination from over-garment.

Most effective within fifteen minutes. Note: If M258 is used you must reverse the packet

sequence.
