AXION™ eyePOD™ Faucet Mounted Eyewash
by Haws
Take safety to the next level with this clever, compact eye wash tool. When working around chemicals or products that can produce elements harmful to the eye, a full-size emergency eye wash station may not be practical or might take up too much space. An eyePOD™ is a great way to overcome this need as it provides an instant eye wash station when the eyes have been exposed to something harmful, and adds very little in the way of equipment to an office space or lab. A simple twist of the module changes the water flow from the aerator into the dual eye wash spouts, creating an instant, soothing flow of water to rinse out the eyes and reduce or eliminate irritation or damage.

An elegant solution to a common medical problem
The eyePOD™ faucet mounted eyewash system uses an exclusive, inverted flow pattern that is consistent with first aid protocols used by medical professionals. The eyewash flows mitigate the risk of inhalation or ingestion of hazardous contaminants during eye irrigation.
Medical profession teaches and practices irrigating eyes by introducing flushing fluid at the inner corner of the eye adjacent to the nose, letting it run across the eye to the outer edge. This is specifically done to avoid driving contaminants into the lacrimal punctum and the nasal cavity. The eyePOD™ eyewash system is the only faucet mounted eyewash that duplicates the methodology used and recommended by healthcare professionals.
How to operate the eyePOD™ eyewash system
Step 1: Ensure faucet is on and water is flowing from the aerator spout
Step 2: With the logo facing upward, the eyePOD™ will allow the faucet to function normally
Step 3: Rotate the face of the eyewash one half turn in any direction to expose the eyewash spouts
Step 4: Once the eyewash spouts are pointing up, the unit will activate flow from the eyewash
Step 5: Thoroughly flush eyes for 15 minutes to reduce the risk of injury to eyes
