This year at ASHE's Health Care Facilities Innovation Conference, we introduced two faucet products designed to enhance patient safety and meet stringent healthcare facility guidelines.
A highlight at our booth was the new HyTronic® Faucet with a 6-inch Spout (GN6), specifically engineered to comply with the Facility Guidelines Institute's (FGI) latest requirements for handwashing stations in healthcare settings. This faucet's extended reach is ideal for thorough hand scrubbing in critical medical areas such as operating rooms and addressing the FGI's recommendation for spout reach of at least 6 inches to accommodate two adult hands and prevent water pooling.
Additionally, we unveiled our innovative Emergency Eyewash with Lab Nozzle Faucet, a dual-purpose solution for hospital laboratory areas. This product combines a standard lab nozzle faucet with an emergency eyewash station, meeting OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.151(c) and ANSI/ISEA Z358.1-2014 requirements. The design allows for quick access to eyewash in case of exposure to hazardous substances, while also serving laboratory needs for a lab nozzle spout.
During ASHE, Richard Nortier, our Director of Marketing, emphasized our commitment to healthcare safety:
"At Chicago Faucets, we're dedicated to helping facility managers maintain the highest standards of safety through innovations in plumbing fittings. Our new HyTronic Gooseneck Faucet with 6-inch Spout and the Emergency Eyewash with Lab Nozzle combination showcase our focus on addressing the unique needs of healthcare environments. From infection control to emergency response readiness, we provide a valued component of water and safety management plans.”
Nortier concluded, “These new products join our comprehensive +Healthcare portfolio, which includes the Auto-Drain™ Shower System, HyTronic for Patient Care touchless faucets, and ELR ligature-resistant fixtures, all designed to minimize waterborne pathogens and enhance overall hygiene in healthcare settings.”
