Concerning eyewash fountains for eye irrigation, tests have indicated that the upper threshold limit temperature for comfort is __________ degrees F.

a. 112
b. 106
c. 100
d. 94

Answer :

c. Concerning eyewash fountains for eye irrigation tests have indicated that the upper threshhold limit temperature for comfort is 100 degree F.

The upper threshold limit temperature for comfort during eye irrigation is 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is considered enough to avoid discomfort or burning sensation in the eyes during the cleansing process.

It is important to note that the temperature should be tepid to prevent thermal shock or burns and to encourage uninterrupted flushing for at least 15 minutes as per the ANSI Z358.1-2014 standard for emergency eyewash and shower equipment.
