Bel-Art Scienceware 248805053 Plum heated eyewash station can be
ed on a wall near workplace hazards to provide immediate
emergency flushing of s or particles from the eye in
indoor and outdoor locations. It contains a 200mL bottle of
phosphate buffer solution for neutralizing s and alkalis, and
a 500mL bottle of sterile physiological saline solution for
flushing dirt and particles. The station completely encloses the
bottles when the door is closed, reducing the risk of
contamination from dirt and particles. The bottles have eyecups
to help hold open the eyes during flushing. Since the bottles are
squeezed to force the solution out, the person being treated can
be vertical or horizontal. The station is insulated and has a
heater that maintains the temperature of the eyewash solutions at
68 + or - 4 degrees F (20 + or - 2 degrees C) for exterior
temperatures between -13 degrees F (-25 degrees C) and 68 degrees
F (20 degrees C). The heater operates on 12V DC or 24V DC (AC
adapter sold separately). The eyewash solutions have a three-year
shelf life from the date of manufacture and require no
maintenance. The door has a polished metal mirror for checking
the eye after flushing. The station measures 11 x 8-3/4 x 4-1/2
inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from
lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from
left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to
back.) This emergency eyewash station supplements primary eyewash
stations that meet the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) standard Z358.1-2009 for emergency eyewash and shower
equipment.Eyewash stations provide for emergency flushing of the
eyes to remove s or materials that can cause injury. They
are placed near potential eye hazards in workplace environments
for quick access, and can be either plumbed devices that draw tap
water from a facility's plumbing or self-contained units with a
supply of gravity-fed flushing solution that can be wall ed
or placed on mobile stands or carts for portability. Eyewash
stations have a pair of nozzles that direct the flushing fluid
upward at both eyes simultaneously, maintaining a constant flow
rate and stream height. The flushing fluid used in portable
stations is typically a preserved, physiological saline solution
that must be periodically replaced. Eyewash stations are required
by government agencies responsible for occupational safety, such
as the Occupational Safety and Administration (OSHA), and
are found in industrial facilities, construction sites, and
hospitals, among others.Bel-Art Products manufactures scientific
products, including labware, testing equipment, and safety
supplies, under the Bel-Art and Scienceware brands. The company,
founded in 1946, is headquartered in Wayne, NJ.What's in the
