PROTECTION FOR THE HUMAN EYE
The human eye is equipped with an automatic lubricating and cleansing mechanism, called the lacrimal system. It consists of the lacrimal punctum – a drain which channels excess fluids away from the ocular surface. The lacrimal punctum drains excess fluids directly into the nasal cavity. This process is the reason why your nose runs when you cry.
If a chemical is introduced into the eye, nature’s own cleansing mechanism can serve to force the contaminant into the nasal cavity, where it can potentially cause further internal injury. The ideal approach in chemical or particulate eye injuries is to sweep contaminants away from the lacrimal punctum.
AXION® MSR – Medically Superior Response®
Ground breaking technology by AXION® continues to change the emergency response landscape by offering the only eye/face wash duplicating the methodology recommended and used by medical professionals.
INJURY REDUCTION
Inverted eye/face wash streams gently sweep contaminants away from the eye interior and nasal cavity.
INCREASED VICTIM COMFORT
Laminar flow eye/face wash streams provide even, consistent, predictable stream height for greater user comfort.
ANSI/ISEA Z358.1-2014 COMPLIANCE
Correctly installed and tested AXION MSR products for compliance to ANSI/ISEA Z358.1-2014.
Resolves Common Compliance Issues
AXION MSR solves three common ANSI/ISEA Z358.1-2014 non-compliance issues.
LACK OF SIMULTANEOUS FLOW
When installed together, the AXION MSR eye/face wash head and showerhead provide the simultaneous flows needed to meet the ANSI/ISEA Z358.1-2014 Standard. [Sec. 7.3, 7.4.4]
LACK OF CONTROLLED NON-INJURIOUS FLOW
AXION MSR products provide laminar flow eye/face wash streams for even, consistent, predictable stream height and circumference for greater user comfort, encouraging use for the full 15-minute ANSI/ISEA Z358.1-2014 requirement. [sec. 5.1.1, 6.1.1, 7.1]
UNEVEN FLOW PATTERN
AXION MSR provides a controlled flow to both eyes simultaneously with comfortable water pressure. [sec. 5.1.6, 7.1]
