  • For Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg positions, use the dedicated tilt controls (approx. +20° to –20°) and monitor patient comfort and tolerance.
  • In an emergency requiring CPR, activate the electric CPR function on the hand-switch to move the chair rapidly into the pre-set CPR position.
  • At the end of treatment, use the RTZ (Return-to-Zero) function to bring the chair back to its standard, neutral starting position.
  • Adjust armrests and optional extending headrest to support the patient appropriately, ensuring no limbs are trapped during movement.
  • Clean and disinfect upholstery and touch surfaces between patients using compatible detergents/disinfectants in line with infection-prevention protocols and vinyl manufacturer guidance.
  • Undertake regular inspection and preventative maintenance as recommended by Plinth Medical, including checks on electrical cables, actuators, castors, upholstery and safety functions.

Contraindications

  • Use with patients whose body weight exceeds the safe working load of 250 kg.
  • Use in environments that do not allow safe locking of castors or stable placement of the chair.
  • Use in explosive atmospheres or where equipment not rated for such environments is prohibited.
  • Use without appropriate staff training in electric profiling chairs, CPR positioning and safe patient moving and handling.
  • Clinical use where the patient’s medical condition does not permit Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg positioning unless under explicit medical instruction.
  • Use with incompatible cleaning or disinfectant chemicals that may damage the Multistretch antimicrobial vinyl or foam structure.

Adverse Effects

  • If moving and handling guidelines are not followed, there is a risk of musculoskeletal strain to staff during patient transfer or chair adjustment.
  • Improper positioning or failure to secure castors could result in chair movement, increasing the risk of patient falls or injury.
  • Incorrect use of tilt or section settings may cause patient discomfort, dizziness or intolerance to certain positions (e.g. Trendelenburg) in susceptible individuals.
  • Use of aggressive or incompatible cleaning agents may degrade upholstery, increasing the risk of tearing or fluid ingress over time.
