Transit Driver Safety: Bio Med Wash Eye Wash & First Aid Spray

Posted by leedman on November 26, 2011  /   Posted in Press Release

Transit drivers are subject to the possibility of anything happening along city bus routes. With people from all walks of life, routes that pass through the most depraved neighborhoods, and the drunken craziness of weekend early mornings, these drivers face unspeakable abuse at times, and have their personal safety jeopardized every day.

Buses are already properly equipped with a well stocked and supplied first aid kit, ready for nearly any emergency. They’re not all the way there yet though. Every bus would do well to have an AED on board for assisted CPR. More importantly, every driver should have access to eyewash and a first aid wash to deal with possible contaminants, particulate in the eye, and even liquids from what people spit, drink, or otherwise dispense from body or containers. Not a pretty picture.

These incidents are not a common daily occurrence but they do happen, and often enough to constitute a problem that needs some alternatives to properly manage the risks to public and driver health and safety. A driver’s eyesight is of critical importance for the task at hand.

Bio Med Wash emergency eyewash comes in conveniently sized cans, and a variety of options for equipping personnel.

  • Hip Holster for 3oz or 7oz cans
  • Single Mounts for in-vehicle 7oz cans
  • Soft-Sided Bag to carry 12-15 cans
For worst-case scenarios, a bus carrying 12-15 cans is not such an unreasonable idea. However, it would also be a very expensive eyewash program just to prepare for the worst case scenario. More often than not, intermediate steps don’t typically need to be that extravagant and the most common risk factor, the driver, having access to a personal eyewash, the cost-benefit would be far more justifiable. These decisions are best made by each company’s Safety Committee; and if you don’t have one – start one.
As you can see, there are numerous scenarios where the application of an emergency eyewash, or wound wash, calls for quick access to Bio Med Wash. Remaining sterile, due to its method of application and delivery, this eyewash can provide multiple sprays for multiple victims, within the 60-90 seconds of spray time. Properly trained personnel, able to respond having access to their own personal eyewash, can then turn their attention more efficiently and effectively on other potential victims.
Visit the Distributors Directory to find a Bio Med Wash distributor close to you. If they need cameras on today’s buses, drivers need access to an easy-to-use eyewash and first aid spray that is as versatile and advanced as Bio Med Wash.

Posted by leedman on November 15, 2011  /   Posted in Press Release

Bio-Logic Aqua Research, of Grants Pass, Oregon, announces the first hand held emergency eye wash and skin wash device for first aid and emergency response. How will this breakthrough product, Bio Med Wash, save lives?

Smoke, heat and dust may make it impossible to see. Plumbed eyewash stations require stopping and are intended for single person use. Chemical washes may cause blurred vision, disorientation and allergic reaction.

And now, in response to requests by emergency medical professionals, there is BIO MED WASH.

Bio Med Wash is an all-natural first aid water wash for eyes, skin and wounds. Bio Med Wash can be used for irritation due to dust, smoke, heat, fumes, pepper spray, wounds, burns, skin irritants, etc.

Bio Med Wash utilizes bag-on-valve technology, releasing a pressurized sterile water spray. It remains sterile under unsanitary conditions – even when the unit is partially expended.

Bio Med Wash is a hand-held trigger grip device, and can be carried in a pocket or on belt, and may be actuated while running and safely handed off to multiple individuals!

Bio Med Wash is the fastest growing first aid device in sales in the US and Canada. Bio Med Wash has been sold to and endorsed by major US police departments and US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

NEW and Innovating: First Aid Sterile Wash for Eyes and Skin

Posted by leedman on June 30, 2011  /   Posted in Technology

A decade of research has revealed BIO MED WASH® as the most effective and safe first aid wash for skin and eyes.

  • Bag-In-Can Technology
    • Cutting edge “bag-in-can” technology improves sanitation, avoids chemical propellants and preservatives, and increases the product’s useful life by insulating the water against extreme heat and cold.
  • Trigger Actuator
    • The BIO MED WASH® trigger actuator emits BioLogic Aqua® tissue-culture grade water as a spray, making it unnecessary to touch the wound.
