Usage
Intended for professional clinical environments and for use with compatible Sunflower phlebotomy/treatment chairs only.
Attach the arm rest to the designated mounting brackets on the Sunflower phlebotomy chair, following the chair’s installation and accessory instructions.
Ensure the arm rest is securely fixed and locked in place before seating the patient.
Position the arm rest on the left or right side of the chair as required for venepuncture or other procedures; a second unit can be used to provide dual-sided arm support if needed.
Adjust the arm rest position to achieve comfortable and stable support of the patient’s arm while maintaining good access for the clinician.
After use, clean and disinfect the arm rest in accordance with local infection-prevention protocols and the manufacturer’s guidance for cleaning Sunflower chair components (typically using mild detergent or approved disinfectant wipes that are compatible with PU and metal surfaces).
Inspect the arm rest regularly for signs of damage, loosening or wear and remove from service if structural integrity or surface condition is compromised.
Contraindications
Not intended for use with non-Sunflower chairs or incompatible furniture where proper secure mounting cannot be achieved.
Do not use if the arm rest, mounting brackets or chair frame show visible damage, deformation or instability.
Not designed to support full body weight or to be used as a lifting, transfer or restraint device.
Use may be unsuitable for patients who cannot safely sit in a phlebotomy chair or cannot maintain arm position as required for the procedure; clinical judgement should be applied.
Adverse Effects
No specific adverse effects are listed in manufacturer or distributor information; however, incorrect positioning or insecure mounting may lead to discomfort or risk of minor injury to the patient.
As with all medical furniture accessories, there is a potential risk of skin pressure or discomfort if the arm is supported for prolonged periods without repositioning.
Improper cleaning products may damage the PU surface over time, potentially compromising hygiene and durability.
Storage Conditions
Store in a clean, dry environment when not installed on a chair.
Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat, direct sunlight or harsh chemicals that may degrade PU surfaces or metal components.
Ensure the arm rest is kept free from heavy loads or impacts that could bend brackets or damage the moulded support.
When part of an assembled chair, follow the general storage and care recommendations for Sunflower phlebotomy chairs (e.g., indoor clinical use, protected from moisture and contamination when not in use).
