Usage

  • Install the chair according to the instructions supplied by Plinth Medical or the distributor, ensuring it is placed on a firm, level surface.
  • Before each session, check that all fastenings are secure, the frame is stable and the castors (if fitted) are locked prior to patient seating.
  • Adjust the backrest and foot section using the manual controls; the synchronised mechanism and gas struts provide smooth movement between upright and reclined positions.
  • Set the chair to a comfortable seated position for routine phlebotomy and adjust the phlebotomy arms for patient forearm support, ensuring arm height and angle promote vein access without strain.
  • In the event of patient light-headedness or fainting, lower the backrest promptly into the head-down recovery position as specified in the user manual, then monitor the patient according to local clinical protocols.
  • After use, return the chair to its standard seated position and reset the arm supports as appropriate.
  • Clean and disinfect upholstery, arms and accessible frame surfaces between patients using compatible cleaning and disinfectant products recommended for use on medical vinyl and powder-coated steel.
  • Perform routine inspections as part of planned preventive maintenance, including checking castors or fixed feet, arm mechanisms, upholstery integrity and frame condition; arrange service or repair if defects are identified.
  • Do not exceed the specified safe working load of 250 kg and do not modify the chair without written approval from the manufacturer.

Contraindications

  • Use with patients whose body weight exceeds the stated safe working load of 250 kg.
  • Use in locations where the floor is uneven or unstable, compromising chair stability.
  • Use without appropriate staff training in safe positioning and manual operation of the backrest, footrest and phlebotomy arms.
  • Clinical situations where a reclining or head-down position is medically contraindicated should be managed according to clinical judgment and local protocols.
  • Use with cleaning agents or solvents that are not compatible with medical-grade vinyl or powder-coated steel, as this may damage the upholstery or frame.

Adverse Effects

  • If safe moving and handling guidelines are not followed, there is a risk of musculoskeletal strain to staff during patient transfer.
  • Incorrect use or adjustment of the phlebotomy arms may lead to poor limb support and patient discomfort.
  • Failure to lock castors before use could allow unintended chair movement, increasing the risk of slips, trips or falls.
  • Inadequate cleaning or damage to upholstery could compromise infection-control measures over time.

Storage Conditions

  • Use and store in a dry, indoor clinical environment within the temperature and humidity ranges recommended for medical furniture.
  • When not in use for extended periods, park the chair in a designated storage area, with castors locked or fixed feet stable on the floor.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure of upholstery to direct sunlight or high heat sources to minimise fading and material degradation.
  • Do not stack heavy items on the chair or use it as a general-purpose trolley or step.
  • Ensure that the area beneath the chair remains clear to maintain hoist access and safe cleaning.
