AXION® eyePOD

AN AXION EYEWASH EVERYWHERE

The AXION eyePOD offers a thermostatically-controlled,

faucet-mounted eyewash that provides facilities with

AXION Medically Superior Response

in an attractive, low prole, cost efcient design.

1. HOW DOES IT WORK?

Using the eyePOD is easy. Simply activate your faucet and rotate the front of the eyePOD one-half turn, either direction, to point the eyewash spouts upward. Water is discharged from the two eyewash ports for a soothing eye-cleansing experience. Once completed, rotate the eyePOD back to its standard

position, with the logo facing upward, and water will ow naturally through your faucet.

2. WHEN IS A FAUCET-MOUNTED EYEWASH NEEDED?

The need for any eyewash depends on the level of workplace hazards. If there is a risk of splash, irritant or debris into the eyes, then most regulatory bodies mandate an ANSI Z358.1 Standard compliant eyewash with a 1-second activation. A faucet-mounted unit offers economical advantages, ease of use, and location convenience.

3. WHERE SHOULD IT BE LOCATED?

According to the ANSI Z358.1 Standard, it is recommended that units be in accessible locations not more than 10 seconds away from the hazard, on the same level as the hazard, and free from obstructions that may inhibit its immediate use.

4. WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE AXION eyePOD?

The AXION eyePOD comes with four common faucet adapters to allow the unit to mount onto almost

any faucet. It is pre-assembled and has a .5 GPM (1.89 LPM) multi-stream faucet ow and an optional 1 GPM (3.78 LPM) single stream laminar faucet ow. Lastly, the unit comes with the ANSI Z358.1

Standard required signage and easy-to-understand installation, usage and maintenance instructions.

5. HOW DO I INSTALL IT?

Included with the eyePOD are a variety of industry standard adapters that allows it to be mounted onto most standard faucets. Unscrew the existing aerator from the bottom of your faucet and replace it with the eyePOD. Installation videos are available at www.axioneyepod.com.

6. WHAT CERTIFICATIONS DOES THE AXION EYEPOD HAVE?

The AXION eyePOD is certied by CSA to meet ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 and ANSI Z358.1 Standards for Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment. Product is compliant to NSF 61, California Health and Safety Code 116875 (AB 1953) and NSF/ANSI 372, along with all current Federal Regulations for

the disabled including those in the Americans with Disabilities Act when properly installed on an ADA

compliant faucet/sink with knee clearance installation.

7. HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO TEST THE UNIT?

As per the ANSI Z358.1 Standard, the unit should be activated weekly to ensure proper performance. The unit can be easily tested using our ANSI Z358.1 checklist (available on www.hawsco.com).

8. IS THERE A RISK OF HAVING THE WATER TOO HOT?

No. The eyePOD features a built-in thermostatic safety valve that will automatically shut off eyewash ows at 100° F (37° C), diverting all water out through the aerator faucet at the bottom of the unit. This protects users

from accidentally irrigating their eyes with water that is too hot. When water temperatures fall to an acceptable

degree (below 100° F), eyewash ows are automatically restored. You do not need to replace the thermostatic

safety valve if activated.

9. HOW DO I CLEAN AND CARE FOR THE UNIT?

We recommend using a mild soap and water combination when outside cleaning of the unit is required. The AXION eyePOD is self-draining when placed in the downward faucet mode and should always be returned to this mode after eyewash use to allow for drainage.

10. WHY DOES THIS UNIT LOOK SO DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS ON THE MARKET?

It is the only unit to contain a built-in thermostatic safety valve and to feature AXION MSR® technology providing

an inverted water ow pattern consistent with rst aid protocols. This directional ow mitigates the risk of

inhalation or ingestion of hazardous contaminants via the tear ducts during eye cleansing. Traditional eyewashes irrigate eyes in the opposite manner, potentially further injuring the victim’s eyes and nasal cavity. The eyePOD

is the only faucet-mounted eyewash that duplicates healthcare professional methodology by ushing from the

inside-out.
