| 508034000 | Arterial & Cavity Fluids sold in | concentrated form in 16 oz plastic bottles | 0 | |
| 508034001 | Preservative arterial fluids are diluted with | water and/or supplemental arterial chemicals | 1 | |
| 508034002 | Cavity fluids are | used undiluted | 2 | |
| 508034003 | Embalmer must make final determination as to | 1. type of arterial fluid(s) to use 2. strength of arterial solution 3. volume of arterial solution to inject | 3 | |
| 508034004 | Strength and volume of initial arterial solution is determined by | preembalming analysis | 4 | |
| 508034005 | Subsequent solution strength and volume is determined | during the arterial injection of the body | 5 | |
| 508034006 | Primary Dilution | 1. mixture of arterial fluid w water and /or supplemental fluids 2. takes place in embalming tank. Embalmer has total control. | 6 | |
| 508034007 | Secondary Dilution | 1. in tissue spaces, arterial solution is further diluted. 2. Takes place in the body. Body fluids basically neutralize primary dilution. | 7 | |
| 508034008 | Always anticipate | Secondary Dilution....meaning reaction NBQ | 8 | |

| 523174688 | Keep machine tanks and fluid bottles covered and capped at all times to | help reduce fumes | 28 | |
| 523174689 | Be certain that formaldehyde is removed from the area as much as possible before working with disinfectants containing strong oxidizers, ie: sodium hypochlorite (laundry bleach) | can be a carcinigen. Bleach and Formaldehyde don't mix. | 29 | |
| 523174690 | Pouring arterial fluid into the tank after it has been filled with water | reduces formaldehyde exposure. Keep machine lids on. | 30 | |
