Phlebotomy chair backrest gas strut

Description

Replacement long gas strut designed for the back rest of the Plinth Medical 93B phlebotomy chair and compatible couch / chair models. The gas strut provides controlled assisted movement and positioning of the back section, allowing smooth adjustment and reliable support during venepuncture and clinical procedures. It is specified by Plinth Medical for use with selected 500 Series and 93 Series models and is supplied as a genuine spare part via Medisave UK.

Bnefits

  • Maintains correct support and positioning for patients during blood collection and related clinical procedures.
  • Genuine Plinth Medical spare part designed to match original equipment specification for the 93B phlebotomy chair and related models.
  • Helps extend the service life of existing chairs by replacing worn or failed gas struts instead of the whole chair.
  • Supports safe and ergonomic operation for clinicians by reducing physical effort needed to reposition the backrest.
  • Supplied via Medisave UK with clear association to compatible chair and couch models for correct part selection.

Indications

  • Replacement of a worn, leaking or failed gas strut on the backrest of the Plinth Medical 93B phlebotomy chair.
  • Use as a spare / replacement gas strut for designated Plinth Medical couch and chair sections where specified.
  • Recommended where the backrest on supported models no longer holds position, drifts, or becomes difficult to adjust.

Composition

  • Steel gas spring / gas strut body.
  • Pressurised gas (typically nitrogen) sealed within the cylinder.
  • Metal piston rod and end fittings compatible with Plinth Medical chair / couch mounting points.
  • Protective surface finish (such as painted or plated steel) appropriate for clinical furniture environments.

Formulation

  • Non-medicinal, mechanical gas strut component.
  • Long gas strut variant for backrest sections.

Packaging

Usage

  • Intended to be installed as a replacement gas strut on compatible Plinth Medical couches and chairs.
  • Installation should follow Plinth Medical’s instructions and is recommended to be performed by suitably trained personnel or service engineers.
  • Before installation, ensure the chair or couch is safely supported and that any load on the backrest is removed.
  • Verify that this long gas strut model (GASLONGSU) is correct for the specific chair or couch model (e.g. 93B phlebotomy chair) before fitting.
  • After installation, test the backrest movement through its full range to confirm smooth operation and that it holds positions as intended.
  • Do not attempt to open, puncture, or modify the gas strut; it is a sealed pressurised component.
  • If in doubt about compatibility or fitting, contact Plinth Medical or Medisave technical support for guidance.

Contraindications

  • Do not use this gas strut on chair or couch models for which it is not specified by Plinth Medical.
  • Not suitable as a generic gas strut replacement where dimensions, force rating or fittings differ from the original part.
  • Do not install if the strut shows any signs of physical damage, leakage, or deformation on receipt.
  • Do not expose to excessive heat, open flame or attempts to cut, crush or puncture the cylinder due to internal pressure.
  • Do not exceed operating loads or adjust the chair/couch outside the manufacturer’s specified ranges.

Adverse Effects

  • Risk of sudden movement or loss of support if an incorrect or faulty strut is fitted.
  • Potential for mechanical failure or injury if the gas strut is tampered with, punctured or used outside of manufacturer specifications.
  • If installed incorrectly, may lead to backrest instability, trapping hazards or difficulty in positioning the patient.

Storage Conditions

  • Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and excessive heat sources.
  • Keep in original packaging until installation to minimise risk of damage or contamination.
  • Avoid heavy impacts, bending or crushing forces on the gas strut during storage and handling.
  • Do not store near open flames or in environments exceeding manufacturer-recommended temperatures.

Duration

Not applicable \u2013 this is a mechanical spare part for long-term use on compatible chairs; expected service life depends on frequency of adjustment and maintenance conditions.

Onset
