Pandemic Preparedness Your Partner In Safety -Since 1979- • Disposable Clothing • Respiratory PANDEMIC Protection • Eye Protection PREPAREDNESS • Disinfectants • OTC Medications Pandemic Preparedness Novel Coronavirus (nCoV) Infection Overview The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) are closely monitoring an outbreak caused by a novel (new) coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Chinese authorities iden- tified the new coronavirus, which has resulted in hundreds of confirmed cases in China, including cases outside Wuhan, with additional cases being identified in a growing number of countries internationally. These numbers will likely grow given the high amount of travel associated with the Lunar New Year holiday. It has been confirmed that the virus can spread from human to human although specific routes of transmission (i.e. airborne, direct contact, ingestion, etc.) have yet to be definitively determined. Common symptoms include runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat, fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. The CDC is providing the following precautions for health care providers: “Healthcare providers should obtain a detailed travel history for patients with fever and respiratory symptoms. For pa- tients who traveled to Wuhan on or after December 1, 2019 and had onset of illness within 2 weeks of leaving, consider the novel coronavirus outbreak in China when evaluating a patient with these symptoms and notify infection control per- sonnel and your local health department immediately. Although routes of transmission have yet to be definitively determined, CDC recommends a cautious approach to inter- acting with patients under investigation. As of March 2020 ask such patients to use respiratory protection (i.e., a respira- tor) that is at least as protective as a fit-tested NIOSH-certified disposable N95 filtering facepiece respirator before entry into the patient room or care area as soon as they are identified. Conduct their evaluation in a private room with the door closed, ideally an airborne infection isolation room, if available. Personnel entering the room should use standard pre- cautions, contact precautions, and airborne precautions and use eye protection (goggles or a face shield). For additional infection control guidance, visit CDC’s Infection Control webpage.” This situation is rapidly changing and the public, as well as health care workers are advised to refer to the latest CDC and WHO guidelines for protection guidance. Information and guidance from the CDC and WHO can be found at the following links: CDC – https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/alert/novel-coronavirus-china WHO – https://www.who.int/publications-detail/infection-prevention-and-control-during-health-care-when-nov- el-coronavirus-(ncov)-infection-is-suspected OSHA also has provided interim guidance to employers https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/novel_coronavirus/index.html ©2020 Moldex-Metric, Inc.

The piston (46) has a distal sealing portion (48) with a distal surface (54) including a central section (56) and an out- side section (58) and a guide portion (50). The sealing portion (48) has an outside diameter greater than the in- side diameter of the barrel before the piston is placed in the barrel. The sealing portion (48) has a groove (62) in the distal surface (54) where the central section (56) flex- ibly joins the outside section (58). When the piston (46) is placed in the barrel (1 2), the outside section ((58) con- tacts the barrel wall distally, deflecting the outside sec- tion (58) with respect to the central sectionpart.� (56), forming a fluid tight seal with the barrel wall for facilitating drawing and expelling fluid with movement of the piston (46).
