• Bottle Cap/Airvent - The bottle hangs byits cap. To open simply break off the cap. An unopened bottle can be removed / replaced in the stand at will. An open bottle can not be replaced in the stand.
• Eye Support Ring - This facilitates prolonged washing and washing during transportation to a doctor.
• The Flow - The eye is washed by a soft flow consisting of 6 tiny streams. A damaged eye must not be washed with a hard/sharp jet.
• No Mechanical Parts - The blow moulded bottle has no moving parts or mechanical parts which can malfunction. The bottle is simple to open and easy to use.
• The Open Bottle - The bottle is designed to stop people saving unused liquid or refilling the bottle with other liquid. This protects the integrity of the saline solution in Tobin eyewash bottles.
• Disposable - The fact that the bottle is disposable is a very important safety feature. Sterile liquid must not be saved in an open bottle. The Tobin bottle cannot be refilled. A safe sterile eyewash container must not be re-usable.
• Intructions - Clear simple instructions for use are on each bottle and are also on Tobin stands.
• Expiry Date - Each bottle shows the recommended expiry date.
• Round Bottom - This stops teh bottles from being able to stand alone. This is a particularly important safety feature which removes the temptation to take bottles from the stand and place them close to bottles with other contents. Mix-ups can't occur. It is very important that everyone knows where the bottles are when an accident occurs.
• Bottom Airvent - When the airvent is activated it lets air into the bottle and insures the eye is washed by a soft continuous flow. The flow can be stopped, to allow blinking and eye movements, by placing the thumb over the bottom hole.
• Each bottle contains 1 Litre of sterile saline solution 0.9% and provides approximately 3 minutes of flow.

Tobin's Eyewash Systems are a well proven, quick and safe way to wash chemicals from the eyes. This specially designed system gives fast application and a volume large enough for most eye accidents.

Within Arms reach
Chemicals in the eye cause serious damage within 1-5 seconds. Washing that begins within a few seconds can be decisive in minimising eye damage. A temporarily blinded person trying to reach an eye wash a few metres away requires presence of mind, a good sense of direction and an obstacle free passage. With Tobin an eyewash bottle can be within arms reach.

Controlled Flow
Tobin's bottle is constructed to empty under natural pressure, giving a soft flow. When the bottom airvent is opened a patient cannot increase the flow by squeezing the bottle. A 1 litre bottle gives approximately 3 minutes washing time.

Volume
Uninterupted washing over a long period is particularly important. The 5 bottle system gives approximately 15 minutes of flow. Further bottles can be taken from other stands if required. In Australia this system is considered supplementary support and may not replace the need for a primary eye wash station as outlined in AS4775.

Transport
Bottles can easily be removed from a stand and taken along during transportation to a doctor. It is very easy to open bottles by hand. It is possible to control the flow by placing the thumb over the hole on the bottom of the bottle.

Dust Covers
A simple plastic bag accompanies each bottle. It keeps the bottles clean in dusty/dirty environments.
