Does the Peace of Mind evacuation hood have an expiry date?
In its vacuum packed state, the POM hood can last up to five years from its manufacturing date. For example if the expiration date is the year 2008, that particular smoke hood was manufacture in the year 2003. During that five-year period, no maintenance or inspections are needed other than to assure that the sealed bag has not been opened or broken, in which case it would have to be replaced. After the expiration date, the escape hood needs to be replaced. The expiration date is clearly marked on the package.
