PLUM DUO eyewash set is a dustproof first aid station in a Plum Green Box housing. Inside are two 500 ml eyewash bottles: one with pH Neutral 4.9% solution, intended for neutralising acids and alkalis, and one with 0.9% NaCl solution for further rinsing, removing contaminants and cleaning minor wounds.
Both bottles have a DUO nozzle, which allows both eyes to be rinsed at the same time. The housing protects the eyewash bottles from dust and dirt, and the included instructions and pictograms show which solution to start with. The set is intended for workplaces, laboratories, warehouses, workshops and production halls, that is, places where there is a risk of contact with chemical substances or mechanical contaminants.
The set includes: a dustproof Plum Green Box housing (4651), a Plum pH Neutral 4.9% 500 ml eyewash bottle with DUO nozzle (4801), a Plum 0.9% NaCl 500 ml eyewash bottle with DUO nozzle (4861), and instructions and pictograms. PLUM DUO eyewash set combines chemical neutralisation and isotonic rinsing in one system.
Why choose the PLUM DUO eyewash set?
These are two different solutions in one system. After contact with an acid or alkali, the first step is pH Neutral 4.9%, which helps restore the correct pH quickly, and rinsing can then be continued with isotonic 0.9% NaCl solution. For dust, dirt and small particles you can reach straight for 0.9% NaCl. One box therefore contains both solutions and there is no need to assemble the eyewash bottles separately. PLUM DUO eyewash set has nozzles that allow both eyes to be rinsed at the same time, which shortens the response time.
The set has a compact format, suitable also for places with limited space, and the eyewash bottles are kept together in one visible place, from where they can be taken quickly in the event of an accident. It is a medical device compliant with MDR (EU) 2017/745. You can find other models in the category Eye wash. By choosing the PLUM DUO eyewash set, you get a dustproof box with instructions and pictograms that help you act correctly in an emergency.
How to use the PLUM DUO eyewash set?
After a chemical substance gets into the eye, use the pH Neutral 4.9% solution immediately, and then continue rinsing with the 0.9% NaCl solution. For mechanical contaminants such as dust, dirt or small particles, use 0.9% NaCl directly. After giving first aid, contact medical personnel if the situation requires it. If help is needed, call 999 or 112.
Use the set in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the applicable health and safety procedures. In the workplace, it is worth marking the box and training employees in how to use it before an accident happens. You can read about how to call for help effectively in the article Emergency number 112 and calling for help.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Which solution should I start rinsing with?
After contact with a chemical substance, an acid or an alkali, use pH Neutral 4.9% first, then continue rinsing with the 0.9% NaCl solution. For dust, dirt or small particles you can use 0.9% NaCl straight away.
Is the set only for eyes?
No. Besides rinsing the eyes, the 0.9% NaCl solution is used to clean minor wounds.
What is in the set and how long is its shelf life?
The set includes: a Plum Green Box housing, a pH Neutral 4.9% 500 ml eyewash bottle, a 0.9% NaCl 500 ml eyewash bottle (both with DUO nozzle), and instructions and pictograms. The shelf life is up to 3.5 years, in line with the expiry date on the label.
