MATCON INSTANTANEOUS CONTINUOUS WARM WATER EYEBATHS
Matcon has developed instantaneous warm water heaters for Eyebaths / Eye wash showers / Face Wash Fountains in order to realize in a secure way pleasant nice warm water for your Eyebath. This means you are always in a position to rinse or flush your eyes and face for a sufficient period of time (at least 15 minutes) in order to reduce the chance of a permanent injury as minimum as possible.

With this we give the answer to the following question. Are you able to sustain to rinse your eyes for a sufficient period of time?

Flushing a minimum of 15 minutes

The European standard CE EN 15154, but also f.e. the American standard ANSI Z358.1 requires that a person should rinse / flush their eyes or face at least for a period of time of 15 minutes when you have come into contact with a harmful aggressive fluid or substance. In winter time the temperature of the tap water can reach to a level of 5°C and this temperature is too cold to be able to sustain to rinse or flush your eyes or face for a sufficient period of time, but also in the summer the temperature of the tap water can be too low to keep up these prescribed 15 minutes.

The instantaneous water heaters can be a good solution in order to be able to realize this. We strive with the instantaneous heaters to a temperature of 25°C.

This means not only you will safe on energy expense, but more important you are not in a dangerous temperature range with regards to Bacterial growth (like f.e. Legionella and E-Coli). When you activate the eyebath you have immediately warm water to your possession!
