Sterowash 500ml eye wash bottles provide replacement sterile saline for restocking eye wash stations after use or when approaching expiry. Each 500ml bottle provides approximately 15 minutes of continuous eye irrigation, meeting the minimum recommended flushing time for chemical splash. Compatible with Sterowash wall-mounted stations and plates.
Compliance Summary: Sterowash bottles provide sterile saline for emergency eye irrigation. Replace bottles before their printed expiry date and after any use, even partial. Workplaces with chemical hazards should maintain backup bottles for immediate restocking under COSHH assessment requirements.
How often should I replace unused eye wash bottles?
Replace before the expiry date printed on each bottle, even if unused. Sterile saline has a defined shelf life beyond which sterility cannot be guaranteed. Check bottles monthly during your first aid equipment audit and replace any approaching or past expiry.
Can I use Sterowash bottles in other manufacturers' stations?
Sterowash bottles are designed for Sterowash stations and plates. Check physical compatibility before using in third-party stations, as bottle shapes and mounting mechanisms vary between manufacturers. Using the correct bottle for your station ensures secure mounting and reliable emergency access.
