Usage
- Place the chair on a level, stable floor surface in the treatment or examination room.
- Adjust the seat height (45–59 cm range) using the gas lift control so that the clinician’s hips and knees are in a comfortable, ergonomic position relative to the patient and work surface.
- Use the seat tilt lever to set a comfortable angle that supports a neutral spine and reduces lower back strain.
- Use the backrest lever to adjust the backrest angle so that it supports the lumbar region while allowing adequate upper body mobility.
- If the optional foot height control is fitted, use the foot pedal to raise or lower seat height hands-free during procedures, maintaining aseptic technique where required.
- Check that the castors roll freely and that the base is stable before sitting and during movement around the patient.
- Periodically inspect upholstery, levers, gas column and castors for signs of wear or damage; remove from service and arrange maintenance if any issues are noted.
- Clean and disinfect the vinyl upholstery and hard surfaces between patients using compatible healthcare cleaning agents in line with local infection prevention policies.
Contraindications
- Do not use the chair if there are visible signs of structural damage, instability, or failure of the gas lift mechanism.
- Not suitable for use on uneven, excessively sloped or highly slippery floors where chair stability may be compromised.
- Users whose body weight exceeds the manufacturer’s recommended safe working load (if specified in accompanying documentation) should not use the chair.
- Do not use in environments where wheeled bases are contraindicated for safety reasons (for example, certain mobile theatre or transport settings).
Adverse Effects
- Improper adjustment of seat height, tilt or backrest angle may contribute to clinician discomfort or musculoskeletal strain during prolonged use.
- Use on uneven or unsuitable flooring surfaces may increase the risk of tipping or uncontrolled rolling.
