The lot number identifies when a product was manufactured. It will be in small type, all capital letters, and say "LOT #". On many products, it’s on the back panel. On kit boxes, it’s either on the top or bottom of the box, generally affixed to a label.

Lot numbers have 2 parts: a letter, followed by a series of numbers. The letter corresponds to the month the product was manufactured: (A = January, B = February, C = March, D = April, E = May, F = June, G = July, H = August, I = September, J = October, K = November, L = December).

For the numbers, the first number third digit of the year the product was made. The next 2 numbers represent the day of the month the product was made. The next number represents the last digit of the year the product was made. The next two digits represent month the earliest expiring component expires. And the last two numbers represents the year the earliest expiring component expires. Example: LOT # B-01580609 means that the product was manufactured on February 15, 2008 and the earliest expiration date for any item in the kit is June, 2009.

If eyewash freezes and there is no evidence of leakage then the product should be OK. Freezing will not harm the eyewash.

Not necessarily; however, an N95 mask offers more comprehensive protection – whether the situation requires it or not.

An N95 mask filters out at least 95% of all airborne particulates that are .03 microns or larger. Meaning, it protects against harmful dust, fog, smoke, mist, gases, vapors, sprays, and pathogens such as flu viruses.

A face mask (also called a surgical or procedural mask) protects the wearer from airborne bacteria and larger particulate matter such as dust and smoke. It also protects others from “catching” the wearer’s oral and nasal bacteria. However face masks do not protect the wearer from airborne pathogens or harmful mist, gases, vapors or sprays.
