Figure 1-5. Typical Tilt-in-space Position m158_026 Overview The TranSit Resident Transfer Chair is a mobile, caster-mounted design that combines transfer utility with ergonomic long term comfort. This allows it to serve less mobile or more dependent nursing home residents as a transfer device, a mobile chair, and comfortable long term seating.
Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction For transfer, the unit manually reclines to a full-flat, bed-height configuration that can be positioned immediately adjacent to the resident bed with no gap between the bed and chair. After the resident is on the TranSit Resident Transfer Chair, a single motion transforms the unit to an infinitely variable recliner chair configuration.
Movable Armrests The armrests of the TranSit Resident Transfer Chair attach only to the backrest frame. Thus, they maintain their angular relationship to the backrest and move with the unit as it travels through either its recline or tilt-in-space motions.
Ergonomic Back and Armrest Design Features The design of the TranSit Resident Transfer Chair provides ergonomic comfort throughout its range of positions. A lumbar arch built into the backrest provides extra support for the lower region of the resident’s back.
Operating Precautions Before operating the TranSit Resident Transfer Chair, be sure you have read and understand in detail the contents of this manual. It is important that you read and strictly adhere to the safety information contained in this manual.
