An example station includes a fluid storage cartridge that stores unused eye wash fluid and a nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the fluid storage cartridge. In operation, the nozzle assembly dispenses the unused eye wash fluid stored in the fluid storage cartridge via one or more nozzles of the nozzle assembly. The example station further includes a waste fluid collection basin that, in operation, collects eye wash fluid dispersed by the nozzle assembly. Due to contact with the fluid storage cartridge, the waste fluid collection basin compresses the fluid storage cartridge to drive fluid communication between the fluid storage cartridge and the nozzle assembly. The fluid storage cartridge is disposed vertically beneath the waste fluid collection basin. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile eye washing station comprising: a fluid storage cartridge, wherein the fluid storage cartridge is configured to store unused eye wash fluid; a nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the fluid storage cartridge, wherein, in operation, the nozzle assembly is configured to disperse the unused eye wash fluid stored in the fluid storage cartridge via one or more nozzles; and a waste fluid collection basin, wherein, in operation, the waste fluid collection basin is configured to collect eye wash fluid dispersed by the nozzle assembly and, via contact with the fluid storage cartridge, compress the fluid storage cartridge to drive fluid communication between the fluid storage cartridge and the nozzle assembly. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 1, wherein the fluid storage cartridge is disposed vertically beneath the waste fluid collection basin such that, in operation, the weight of the eye wash fluid collected by the waste fluid collection basin compresses the fluid storage cartridge via direct contact. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 2, further comprising one or more fluid channels extending from the fluid storage cartridge disposed vertically beneath the waste fluid collection basin and the nozzle assembly to provide fluid communication therebetween. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 1, further comprising one or more spring loaded assemblies configured to facilitate initial dispersion of the eye wash fluid. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 1, further comprising a station head supporting the nozzle assembly and disposed vertically above the waste fluid collection basin. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 4, wherein the station head is configured to be actuated by a user to cause dispersion of the unused eye wash fluid. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 5, wherein the station head is configured to be actuated via a user inputted, downward force opposite the direction of dispersion of the unused eye wash fluid. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 7, further comprising two spring loaded assemblies disposed vertically above the fluid storage cartridge. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 8, wherein the two spring loaded assemblies are configured to, in response to the user inputted downward force, compress the fluid storage cartridge so as to initially drive fluid communication between the fluid storage cartridge and the nozzle assembly. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 1, wherein the nozzle assembly comprises two nozzles each configured to disperse unused eye wash fluid to respective eyes of a user. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 1, wherein the station further comprises a housing enclosing the fluid storage cartridge and the waste fluid collection basin. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 11, further comprising a door configured to provide selective access to an interior of housing. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 11, wherein the waste fluid collection basin is removable from the housing. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 11, wherein the fluid storage cartridge is removable from the housing. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The mobile eye washing station according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of wheels configured to facilitate movement of the station.
